The Ultimate Fighting Championship had it’s main website, UFC.com, shut down on Sunday, with visitors being redirected to UGNazi.com which offered little except for an animated version of Hitler and a short message claiming responsibility for the attack.

It appears the hacking is in response to the promotions support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which has saw other websites attacked recently as well. While other websites like Wikipedia shut down for a day in protest.

UFC president Dana White was inundated with Tweets from fans about the site being down, to which he mainly replied “who gives a shit :)” as he was mostly occupied with “football day.”
