    You're probably talking about Melvin Costa, who's a self-avowed neo-Nazi.

    I've also seen a few guys in M-1 shows sporting Nazi and white nationalist tattoos., but I don't really give a **** either way. I do, however, wonder how (or if) the UFC would promote a white nationalist fighter who was good enough to make their roster.

    White Pride would be 100% racist no matter what people say. I think the media would be in uproar about it. However the rules aren't fair in this day and age. Reverse racism is real some minorities need pay back for years of suffering. The N word means nothing to black people when they call each other it but it means alot if a non black person calls them it. I can't imagine there being a WET channel or white business magainez etc

    I'm really racist because racism is about intent. Me and my mates are racist as hell to each other but there is no intent so it means nothing. People need to get over racism as they are giving it a platform it doesn't need. If there is no intent, then there should be no hurt.

    Nevertheless, I don't know the full story behind Cain's Brown Pride. It does look racist but I think he has clarified it isn't, its just about national pride. He doesn't seem like a bad person and he doesn't seem racist. I think similar discussions have been held about Fedors brother being a nazi because he has the swastika as one of his tats. Similarly I don't think that means he is a nazi but its a russian prison tat that represents something else.

    I just think it's corny and lame. It's like looking at an awful outfit. I wouldn't say anything offensive but it'd definitely get me to question the person's decision-making skills. And that's where it should end. It shouldn't be something that's bothersome. Nothing wrong with being proud of one's background. To me it's like confessing your love for a loved one. If you don't have a problem with someone getting a tat of his/her significant other's name, why should you have an issue with racial pride tats? The only times I have a problem with racial pride is when people take it too far or are rubbing it in my face. Cain's tattoo is visible only when he has his shirt off. Other than that the subject doesn't come up unless you ask him about it. He doesn't go around talking about "Brown Pride" every chance he gets.

    You really shouldn't have a problem with it. He's not suggesting every other race outside of his is inferior. He just loves being Mexican. That's all.

    Anyone else have trouble supporting Brock because of his ''Giant ****'' tattoo

    I have seen plenty from the guy that would make me dislike him on a personal level. But I just can't cheer for him because, as a straight guy, I am conditioned to find the massive dong tattoo on his chest distasteful if not outright offensive.

    Anyone else?

    Or shall we blame that on his baddy tum tums too?

    Ohhh while Im at it, does anyone have trouble supporting GSP because of his Fleur de Lis tattoo on his calf?

    I just cant cheer for him, because as a non Canadian Im conditioned to find that symbol of Canadian pride down right offenseive

    Anyone agree with me that GSP is obviously racist?

    On a serious note, Alan Belcher's Johnny Cash tattoo is really offensive

    It seems ok cuz its not racist for a brown man to have a brown pride tattoo but if a white man has a KKK or something similar as a tattoo then its racism and sometimes nazism

    Plus Cain has made it clear his "brown pride" is synonymous with Mexican pride and no one would make any fuss if a white fighter had an Irish Pride tattoo or something of the sort.

    There was a man who fought for the ufc who was a white supremacist, his name was Gegard Gordeau.

    gegard gordeau has a nazi tatoo on his right bicep.

    Gordeau is a dirty *******, blinded Yuki Nakai in his right eye(Nakai retired after that tournament because of this injury), Gordeau still lost this fight via heel hook.

    in Ufc 1 Gordeau, according to Royce, bit Royce's ear and thats why Royce held on to the Rear Naked Choke long after Gordeau tapped.

    Nakai did more in two fights that night to earn legendary status that 9/10 fighters will ever come close to achieving with 30+ bouts under their belts
