A Russian mixed martial arts fighter was told to cover up his Nazi tattoo prior to the start of his most recent fight.
According to The Mirror, Ivan Strelnikov was made to cover up the Nazi Wolfsangel tattoo across his midsection ahead of the finale of Hardcore MMA Season 1. The fighter could be seen at the start of the fight sporting green duct tape, which quickly peeled off as he began to sweat.
The 30-year-old went on to lose a unanimous decision to Azerbaijan’s Kenan Guliyev, bringing his professional record to 5-3.
Strelnikov, who ironically works in tattoo removal for his day job, had another tattoo on his shoulder covered up, as well as the phrase “born to be white” emblazoned across his stomach.
