Timo Feucht could have faced Kenneth Bergh on the July 15 show on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, but the promotion has since rescinded the offer to the German fighter after being informed about his past Neo-Nazi ties, MMA Fighting has learned.
Feucht is a 24-year-old light heavyweight talent who inked a contract with the company to compete on short notice at next week’s event in Abu Dhabi. The fighter reportedly has a past with Neo-Nazis and right-wing hooligan groups, including an an attack in the Connewitz district in Leipzig on Jan. 11, 2016. Feucht was one of 215 people arrested by the local police at the time.
