A UFC fighter took to social media to praise the decapitation of a French teacher last week.
Zelim Imadaev, who competes in the UFC’s welterweight division, referred to the assailant — a teenage Chechen refugee — as “hero of Islam” in an Instagram story and asked that “Allah approve your jihad.”
Imadaev’s comments come in the wake of a recent attack where an 18-year-old Chechen refugee beheaded a high school history teacher in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on Friday. The suspect was shot dead by police shortly thereafter.
French anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-François Ricard said a text claiming responsibility and a photograph of the victim were found on the suspect’s phone. He also confirmed that a Twitter account under the name Abdoulakh A, which belonged to the suspect, had posted a photo of the decapitated head minutes after the attack, along with the caption, “I have executed one of the dogs from hell who dared to put Muhammad down.”
I've said it for a very long time. Lots of these guys have extremist views. Some very shady people are infiltrating the UFC and MMA in general. Most coming from the same area. Nothing to see here though, right?

It does seem weird to have these guys in the UFC when you know their views behind doors are 100% against what the fanbase supports.

What’s even more strange is the glowing articles by mma media and the fan support for some of these guys. They are hanging out with legit warlord extremist dictators. Wearing shirts in support of terrorist attacks that killed innocent people. No articles on stuff like this.

They are extreme because they behead and strap bombs to themselves instead of dropping bombs miles away with predator drones. Your argument is weak.
Sooooo, will there be any repercussions for this or is it now OK to be a terrorist sympathizer who advocates the beheading of innocent people? Asking for a friend.
