A Czech MMA fighter has been suspended because of a tattoo on his arm depicting Adolf Hitler.
Radek Rousal, kickboxing champion, was to play his first fight in the organization of his country, Oktagon. Except that the person had forgotten to indicate that he had this very controversial tattoo on him.
“You cannot fight with us with that”, then explained Ondrej Novotny, promoter of the MMA organization. Radek Rousal then tried to explain himself and put it on a mistake from the past.
“I grew up in a community with problems that made me get this tattoo,” said the Czech. At that time, I didn’t know what to do with my life. I was young and this tattoo is silly.
In addition to a tattoo of the Nazism figure on his arm, Rousal (19 wins, 5 losses) is also said to be that of an SS officer on his chest.
“I started martial arts which gave me a new way of life and a different way of thinking,” he apologizes. I will change all my tattoos. ” Oktagon is waiting to see if he will erase his controversial tattoos before scheduling him again.
