Much of the past few days for UFC flyweight Andrea Lee and her husband/coach Donny Aaron have been spent answering questions. Questions like, why does Aaron have a swastika tattooed on his arm? Or a pair of ‘SS’ bolts on his other arm? And why hasn’t he gotten them removed? The tattoos are both highly recognizable Nazi symbols and common insignia for neo-Nazi hate groups.
To hear Aaron tell it, while he claims he’s never held Aryan beliefs, he got the tattoos as a way to survive in prison.
“I’ve never held Aryan superiority beliefs,” Aaron wrote in a comment on his Instagram post.
