Check out Flossman's tatt. Nordic Alt right, gang influences anyone?

Maybe the guy is actually Norwegian (not!), but the alt right frequently used Nordic tattoo imagery to promote white supremacy.

I grew up with a dad who did Karate from the age of 12 to 25 and when I turned 16 I began a 5 year stint in Judo. He and I love sitting down and watching the fights together because you get to see so many different styles of martial arts be put to work in such a dynamic and constantly changing environment.
Please don't put labels on a certain group of people just because it isn't something that you like.
So I'm not sure the anger about the ufc guy is valid? If it even mattered in the first place!
Cage Fighting is Not a Sport: Fact Sheet
I. Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, is a spectacle of violence in which severe bodily harm and humiliation are possible outcomes.
Unlike established martial arts such as judo, MMA, whose most prominent promoter is the Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), is a hybrid of traditional and non-traditional fight maneuvers (e.g., boxing, kicking, kneeing, elbowing, wrestling and strangling) that do not fit into a comprehensive system of self-defense.
a. Punches and elbows to grounded opponents are not prohibited under the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), a uniform set of rules for professional cage fighting events in the United States.1
b. The types of strikes that are permitted in cage fighting in the U.S. include blows with hands, feet, knees and elbows.2 In the UFC, cage fighters have knocked out opponents with punches or kicks to the head.3 According to a 2006 study, facial laceration was the most common injury in professional MMA competitions, accounting for nearly half of all injuries (47.9%) followed by hand (13.5%), nose (10.4%) and eye (8.3%).4
c. In the UFC, a cage fighter is allowed to deliver a flurry of strikes to a grounded opponent, which is known as “ground and pound.”5 By contrast, punching and other strikes are prohibited in international judo competitions.
f. UFC fighter Nate Diaz was quoted by USA Today as saying of MMA, "We're out there trying to damage each other and finish each other. We're trying to take each other out. We both want to win by knockout or submission or some type of finish rather than decision. I think that's pretty unsportsmanlike in itself."
Lucky for us, tax payers aren't covering their medical bills, they can on their own, and get their own insurance.
Also, who gives af if that fighter got that bike for free. For YT that's probably a no brainer. Dude has millions of followers. YT will probably sell a few bikes just off him being one. There's no difference in them spending a few thousand on an ad campaign and them just giving him one. It'll reach people who aren't on bikes.
Too many people have shown their lack of critical thinking skills with this or they just show how butt hurt they are cause they didn't get something free.
