I think its a ****ing disgrace you are giving this neo Nazi a platform in Ireland. Not only that u tried to cover it up by airbrushing out his Nazi tattoos! Do you think we are stupid?!?!? There is no place for fascist bigots like this in our sport and definitely not in Ireland! ¡No pasaran!

well said mate. absolutely sick about this

theboxingclinic · 04-01-2013 12:12pm

its not the only promotion in ireland that has done this btw, i dont agree with it but some promotions get away with stuff that others dont

dreadskin · 04-01-2013 12:21pm

done wat? let nazis have a platform? its the only one ive heard about. and it should be stamped out. mma has a bad enough name on the island of ireland. alot of hard work has gone into making the sport more respectable, and pulling it away from the 'human cock fighting' image some have associated with it. putting this scumbag on a bill, flying him and his nazi cronies into the country etc etc etc is ONLY going to damage and destroy the hard work many many people have put into the sport.

also, it makes you wonder about the people organising the event. sympatisers? or just money grabbing whores?

theboxingclinic · 04-01-2013 1:01pm

ya they are not the first promotion to put on a fighter with nazi symbols.
btw i do not support this. im just pointing it out

everyone should boycott this event

GRMA · 04-01-2013 4:27pm

Absolutely disgusting having a scumbag like this guy on the card - and airbrushing his tats out of the event picture? Did you think we were thick?

Niko Puhakka is a Neo Nazi - and you have him on the show?

I, and others, will be contacting the events sponsors to let them know who is on the card, and who they are sponsoring.

This is the guy in question:

And the event poster. Note how his shameful tattoos are covered up, airbrushed out. This suggests that the promoters knew what this guy is like, and they weren't ignorant of his neo nazism when booking him. Shameful.

Look closely.

He hasn't.

Richy06 · 04-01-2013 5:27pm

That's just a cover tatt, or a clever camo job.

Mario Laois · 04-01-2013 7:25pm

To whom it may concern.

My name is Niko Puhakka I'm a profesional mma fighter With 39 professional fights on my account .I would like to confirm again that I'm NOT a member of any organisation ,group,or movement and Im not representing any physical or political fashist or neo nazi or any other kind of ideology or beliews. Regarding my 2 tatoos (chest placed)they was redone few years ago and I never meant to offend anybody wearing them .But if anyone still thinks that rest of my tatoos are still brutal I have no problem to fight in the Rashguard .I,m fighting in Europe and Asia and I NEVER was offending no one as a fighter and human being I always respect others and thier believs and opinion.It is a pity that my past is still chaseng me and I need to pay for mistakes from the long ago .Once again I would like to pologise if someone felt offendet and ensure all involved that my visit in Ireland got only profesional and sport mather.

Regards
Niko Puhakka

GRMA · 04-01-2013 7:43pm

He is known to have been associating with far right/fascist bands/groups in 2011 and 2012

Hardly a renunciation of his beliefs is it?

colour me skeptical.

Celtic Gladiator Company Statement about Niko Puhakka

Official statement of the organization the Celtic Gladiator Ltd about slander at fighter Niko Puhakka.
Celtic Gladiator in no way be confused with the views Neo-Nazi. We never supported and will not support in the future such a move. Celtic Gladiator decided to cooperate with Niko Puhakka with sporting reasons, with a respected fighter. He is ashamed of views that he once preached. His tattoos, which caused much controversy, has been covered many years ago, and no neo-Nazi symbols do not appear on his body. We as an organization do not judge our fighters, because of their past, only by their achievements. we know that the fighter had a long time ago renounced the neo-Nazi views and his old outlook , we decided to work with him, every man make mistakes but the most important thing is to learn from our mistakes, and therefore he deserve a second chance.

Best Regards
Board of Celtic Gladiator

GRMA · 04-01-2013 8:28pm

Thats a lie.

His tats are not covered up, you can clearly see them for fcuks sake!

What a joke of a promotion.

Kieran81 · 04-01-2013 10:01pm

give the guy a chance for fcuk sakes , he's man enough to apolgise for his past , says he's changed and he wants to move on , surely people from ireland , with our recent past up north and all the positive changes people from all sides have made can acknowledge that and let him prove himself

dreadskin · 04-01-2013 10:29pm

Yes, people can change. However im reading reports that say otherwise. Ie he is working for blood and honor doing security. He has every reason to lie. He would loose wages if people rightly refuse to share a stage with a NAZI!

That's the thing though, how solid are these reports/sources? I'm not disregarding them but we really should make sure they're true before we start slating any individual, regardless of their past.

However, if they are true, I agree with everything you've said above.

"reports" well if its on the internet it must be true i suppose . i could care less if people go to the show or boycott it , but the man said in the letter above its in the past and wants to move on , so if he means it let him fight away

GRMA · 05-01-2013 12:04am

His tats are not covered.

The only issue I have with the promoter is this guy being on the card

dreadskin · 05-01-2013 1:55am

Aye, it ain't the promoter that'd the problem...
