COLUMBUS, Ohio – Tattoos linked to Neo-Nazi culture and a criminal record have prompted the Ohio Athletic Commission to launch a “full investigation” into fighter Brandon Saling.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker made the announcement after “Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey,” which took place Saturday at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

“We had no knowledge about that until someone brought it up to us this evening,” Coker said of Saling’s background. “It came to our attention during the course of the fights.”
