#17 - I doubt watching a couple of seasons of ultimate fighter will make you an "ultimate fighter". Ultimate something, but certainly not fighter.

maybe you and i need to have a throw down, (#15) The Edge. We can take off our shirts and fumble around on the ground until I assume the mount position and put you into a submission hold. However, if you want to stand up and fight instead of taking it to the ground, i can oblige. im sure i can take a punch on the shoulder from your emo fist. I just hope you're not hiding a razor somewhere, The Edge! It's bad enough the sweat from our skins would make us slippery enough! FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW

Loosely echoing what ribaldry said, this seems more like just another tiresome, wacked out performance piece that plagues Union Square these days. This really is no different than the groups of footbaggers that used to hang out there or the group of losers i saw doing Capoeira 2 years ago. I have to be drunk to even begin to bear Union Square.

This is not new. They were sparring there all last summer.

It is homoerotic only if it turns you on. Obviously a lot of posters here were turned on.

NY's finest are too busy double parking their vans and trying to figure out which bike riders need to be arrested and which are just delivery dudes.

Union Square is a the NYU cesspool of lost losers. Wasting time and squandering their lives. Boring.

Fellas that is quite a way to prove your manhood. Boys will be boys. Take your tomfoolery to the bedroom not Union Sq.

Allow me to ask the obvious: where were the police while this was happening??? Not that I expect NY's finest to be around to stop every single run in (and these appear to be willing participants) but this is in the middle of one of the city's busiest squares. Civil society or third-world backwater?

These guys are just one Craigslist visit away from forming a kickball squad. Think about it, the apotheosis of homocentric hipsterdom is a mere click away.

John, great post. I may have laughed out loud.

Definitely Homo-erotic, especially fighting without shirts so they can get all sweaty and gay with each other.

They should go down and challenge the lightsaber guys in WSP to a "nothing better to do with our time"-off.

Men wanting to touch other men: homo-erotic behavior. Not that there's anything wrong.
