From One Reality to Another: Dakota Cochrane Calls His Gay Porn Past a 'Mistake'

Lightweight fighter and reality show The Ultimate Fighter castmember Dakota Cochrane is among the 32 competitors appearing next month on the Season 15 premiere of TUF, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's reality show. Before he went on to win 11 of 13 professional fights, Cochrane admits on "The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo" that he did do gay porn.

"Yeah, it's true, it's something I did a long time ago. It was a mistake and it was in the past. I'm just trying to move on to bigger and better things now. I've dealt with this stuff ever since I did it. I did those movies for the money and people are going to opinionated, and there's going to be haters, but those people that actually know me and care about me as a person know it was a mistake."

Some may remember Cochrane as "Danny" on Sean Cody's popular NSFW website.

According to USAToday, the video work netted Cochrane about $80,000 total, and he stopped doing it at his girlfriend's request after she learned about it.
