    There are plenty of WP dudes doing MMA, and excelling at it.

    I would say, in my experience here in the states, the WP dudes tend to be much better fighters than antifa peeps.
    Ah, taking this from a British perspective...
    Never say, you weren't warned
    When they come to drag you away
    To silence the dissident hiding in us all
    They clench the fist of ordained might
    From which side of the barbed wire
    Do you want to see your life pass by?

    It seems to be a common notion nowadays that leftists are physically and practically weak, and the fascists/other garbage are the ones who run the streets. It's high time to change that.

    No he lost, wich sucks on one hand but on the other, vladimir putin tried to make it a campaign event by demanding he could make a congratulation speech in the ring and he got big time booed and heckeled.
    First time it happend to him, might turn out to be a small ceasuku moment for putin.

    If I ever do make it to Moscow I would like to meet some of these guys. Most of them have shaved heads though.. Since I'm not familiar with the Russian youth.. I would think they were skin heads.

    Russia is generally perceived as a no go for people of darker complexion. There are acts of violence against and even murders of Africans, Caucasians (Armenians, Georgians, etc.) and Chinese/Vietnamese who come to the country to study. The police often help the thugs escape punishment. I certainly wouldn't vacation there.

    I know that this doesn't make them fascist.. thats why I said.. "since I'm not familiar with them" meaning their culture and just the general way they dress and act.. etc.

    I've read this too. I'm latino.. I'd like to think that these are random and not frequent or in day light. I would assume if you are near a bad neighborhood or a local pub late night.. but just by being in crowded popular places? that sucks

    I'm pretty sure the match was fixed though. The Russians hate the Americans. It was in Russia and Putin was making a speech. It was obviously fixed to show Russian strength and pride over America.

    Usually they occur after football matches, in which drunken hooligans run amok and jump on anything non Slavic looking. But, attacks in crowded squares and in the Metro have occurred as well. Non white students have to travel in groups to allay the possibility of assault.

    When I was in Estonia visiting close friends.. they introduced me to some Russians who told me that If I wanted to go to Moscow that I should go with local Russians. So next year If I go back to Estonia I would take them up on the offer they made me to go with them.

    this makes me sad.. WTF is wrong with these guys? Do they know who their grandparents fought against???

    The collapse of the Soviet Union brought out the worst in a lot of younger Russians. The older people who grew up in the Soviet education system see Africans and Asians as comrades in the struggle.

    Same here. And it's not just those of European descent either. Some of the bigoted nonsense I hear from my family members of African descent would put the most dyed in the wool Nazi or Klansman to shame.

    It is sick. All I hear all day is 'Paki' 'Nigger' 'White Trash' 'Can I borrow your final solution?' 'Banana!' or other racist terms
