Melvin Costa is an Mixed Martial Artist who fights for an organization known as King of the Cage.
Costa is an admitted white supremicist/neo-nazi who has a tattoo on chest depicting an eagle and a swastika. But to him the swastika is a symbol of national pride. He says he just wants to lift the white race up but not by knocking other races down.
But that may not even be his worst tatoo. Around his bellybutton Melvin has the words "I Have a Small Penis."
King of the Cage is no relation to UFC. UFC is a brand, like Xerox or Band-Aid, Mixed Martial Arts is the sport (commonly referred to as MMA). If you called it "ultimate fighting" on the air and were not referring to UFC, you would get an angry phone call from their press people (it's happened). Same thing happens when you call a stun gun a Taser when they kill someone (and happen to be another brand).

ReplyDeleteThe only reason the this post had the tag UFC is because I don't care enough to create two labels for a sport I don't care about. Amazingly I actually anticipated a comment like this when I did it.
The TiVo people also get mad when you use their trademarked name to refer to generic digital video recorders.
