International Will Russians Have Work Visa's Cancelled?

[LoveMyMMA]

UFC is nothing without Russian fighters.

 

[Bojka]

I could see Aljamain Sterling refusing to fight Yan as a message to the Russian government.

 

[Kratos94]

What is the evidence that they have nothing to do with the invasion? I haven't seen it, I've just seen people parrot it on here. Putin is their elected leader, is he not? Could they just not elect him or overthrow him if they don't support invading other countries? Or am I missing something here?

Dumb idea.

The fighters aren't responsible.

Wrong, the people are responsible for their government.

If they want to claim refugee status and disavow Russia, cool. If not, they are complicit.

I agree.

Well I'm sure they are being bombarded with propaganda.

Like us.

So no titleshot for Islam

Makes you wonder if he lost his shot for ducking RDA, or if the pressure of this war is the reason.

 

[Yrat]

NHL, NBA,MBL.....well basically all sport leagues are doing everything they can to prevent russians to compete, and there we have Dana and UFC, the same brand who are promoting wife beaters like Greg Hardy.

No wonder why few people are taking UFC and MMA in general seriously, lets just pretend right? My mother is ukrainian.

 

[TPMR]

UFC saying pray for ukraine will do nothing stfu

 

[dildos]

UFC saying pray for ukraine will do nothing stfu

its the thought that counts though.

Haha, yeah right. Source? I hata Dana, he always promotes russian isis warriors.

 

[Tracav]

And why would you want UFC to prevent russian fighters, that have nothing to do with the conflict, from making a living ?

 

[Guy LeDouche]

It’s not their job to defend Ukraine. The last time I checked the UFC was a mixed martial arts organization. Let’s keep the politics out of it and focus on the athletes, not their nationality.

bc they're good at fighting deal with it chud

 

[jons333]

UFC has more russian stars than all of those leagues combined including the 2 next big things chimaev and makachev it'd be a huge blow for them compared to those leagues

Imagine if you're American and working in a foreign country, and your employer fires you because Biden invades somewhere with alot of oil.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

If they aren't involved or have any ties to what's going on why do they need to be punished for it? They aren't invading Ukraine. The citizens are not responsible for the actions of their government/leaders.

 

[Busgosu]

Figures like Dana and Khabib are outspoken on every topic, except when it comes to what may hurt their business or show their true colors.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Athletes are not getting banned by those leagues.

The Russian players in the NHL are not going anywhere, I'd assume it's the same for the NBA.

Russia is getting banned from international competitions, though.
