Budweiser Threatens to Yank UFC Ads After Nazi Tattoo-Clad Fighter Allowed to Compete

Brandon Saling's questionable tattoos. (via Bloodyelbow.com)
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a fast-growing, action-packed but controversial sport in America. To some, it is the most exciting 1-v-1 combat there is in sports. To others, it is overly violent and celebrates the baser impulses in society.
But this story, courtesy of Business Insider, would go far beyond the usual debate about UFC, assuming the veracity of the facts in question. And as a result, sources claim Budweiser is considering pulling all advertising from the UFC.
Budweiser is not known for being uber-choosey about the organizations it sponsors. Still, a Nazi-tattoo-sporting, alleged sex offender proved much too much for the King of Beers to bear, and so it has threatened to pull its advertising campaign with the mixed martial arts brand.
“We’ve communicated to the UFC our displeasure with certain remarks made by some of its fighters, and they have promised to address this. If the incidents continue, we will act,” Budweiser told Ad Age
This dust-up all comes from a series of bizarre allegations, quoted from Business Insider, that state:
UFC president Dana White used the word “faggot” in a video; presenter Joe Rogan used the C-word to refer to a female blogger; and one fighter, Brandon C. Saling, was allowed to compete in a UFC-affiliated event, according to Big Lead Sports, even though he is a convicted sex offender who wears Nazi tattoos. The picture above is Saling’s police mugshot, taken after he was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.
And if you’re wondering which tattoos are Nazi-inspired, it’s the small “88” on his upper left collar. The Anti-Defamation League describes why:
The eighth letter of the alphabet is “H.“ Eight two times signifies ”HH, ” shorthand for the Nazi greeting, “Heil Hitler.” 88 is often found on hate group flyers, in both the greetings and closing comments of letters written by neo-Nazis, and in e-mail addresses.
Other sports have had to wrestle with image problems in the past, resulting in strict policies for players on and off the field. Perhaps the UFC could be on the cusp of reining in executives and competitors in a similar way.
Regardless, these are very serious accusations, and clearly have caught the attention of a major advertiser. The Blaze will update this story as more comes out.
This story has been updated from its earlier version.

Report Post »The link you have in your story says he is gonna get fired, in the past UFC has tossed sponsors for vague Nazi references.
One fighter hit another after the fight was over and was fired 5min after he got to his dressing room. Big name too, name another sport that plays like that.
3,000 bucks a ticket near ring sure sounds low class to me, all types of celebs, sports stars, oh and Marcus Luttrell you know your bosses friend. He sits with Dana at some events, his charity is linked with the UFC, but I guess to you he is just white trash.
Where is your story about prefight fights, you know like at boxing… oh wait they don’t allow that, prefight=fired.
Where is your story about how they just use these fighters letting them get k.o.ed time and time again… oh wait they dont. Even partnered with the Marines to study traumatic brain injuries, in a rather extensive program.
Fighters fight, after the fight they hug and say sweet nothings to each other, then thank God, or their training camp. Kids should look up to these guys.
Dana said ******…. I read you worked for republican groups…. but here you are complaining about someones speech in an article about some guy that slipped into a 3rd party organization. Why does it matter Dana said ******? Hurt your feelings

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 9:51amWhat if I told you that there was a MMA / UFC fighter who had “WHITE PRIDE” Tattooed acrossed his chest. Now, what if that fighter had a nice video segment produced on how he is an idol to his people also of ANGLO extraction. The WHITE PRIDE was palpable in the piece and the narrator was very supportive of this WHITE PRIDE guy and how he is an example to the WHITE youth in his “community.” Now what if I were to tell you that this exact thing really happened? How do you feel? Well it did happen but… the fighters name is Cain Velasquez and the tattoo spelled out brown pride. How does that make you feel? aconversationaboutrace dot com

“Whether one is a fan of the fighting competition or not, many still argue that UFC is furthering the degradation of society by glorifying some rather nefarious characters.“ Oh a journalist trick ”many still” doesn’t that really mean you say?

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 12:29amI am a huge fan of MMA fighting sports and the UFC. What many of you DO NOT KNOW IS… the vast majority of the pros in the UFC are Church going God fearing good guys in every way possible. These guys are also VERY PATRIOTIC and respectful of everyone they come in contact with. They even respect their opponent. They may do a lot of trash talking prior to the fight, but once the fight is over many of them bow to each other and sometimes hug each other out of respect for each other. One fighter ( I cannot remember who) put it beautifully one day… “Getting your a** kicked in front of a crowd of 15-20 thousand people and a couple of million watching on TV is the most humbling experience in your life”. Amen to that. Another thing to consider, these guys never back down from law-breakers. google “mma fighters rescue” and similar string of words and you will find articles from around the country and the world where they step up to save someone from harm or being robbed. The most recent occurred a couple of weeks ago. The day of his big fight to retain his Belt for the Light-Heavy Weight title, Jon Jones wanted to go to a park and meditate for awhile to relax. Upon arriving they heard a woman screaming and pointing at some guy running away. First Jon’s Coach ran past the hispanic woman and after the thug, but within moments he was overtaken by the athlete in the bunch, Jones. Jon caught up with the thug in a matter of momments knocking him to the ground then put a leg lock on

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 10:55amYou’re right Dave. MMA is actually a bastion of honor and hard work in a world gone mad. Many of it’s fighters have come through a crucible of bad upbringings to become good devoted family men. It is a shame that they get their head pounded for a living, but that is another discussion.
The other issue here is that this is classic PC double standard on Budweiser’s part. Cain Velasquez is a Mexican MMA fighter that has “Brown Pride” tattooed on his chest, odd that nothing was said about his message. Also, while I’m not of fan of allowing unrepentant criminal dirtbags into the MMA, God has a way of punishing the stupid, and this clown will probably be handed some severe beatings by his “minority” opponents in the ring.

If you blame Budweiser for drunk driving statistics, I’m sorry to tell you that YOU are actually part of the problem: you are refusing to place the blame squarely on the individual‘s poor choice and instead placing it on a company that hasn’t done anything.

Posted on April 26, 2012 at 10:41pmGood for Budweiser. Yank them. Make UFC think about the trash they are throwing out there as fighters and promoters of their brand. I’m all for people beating the crap out of each other in a sanctioned sporting event, but policing the people representing you needs to be done. Common sense UFC.
