Bizarre Czech mixed martial arts pay-per-view program "Clash of the Stars" features fighter with criminal record who spouts antigypsyist rhetoric
Jaroslav Kotlár, founder of the firm Kotlár Security, had posted the following to Facebook : "Hi. Greetings to all my friends out there. Is there anybody here who could help arrange a match with this fool, please Filip Grznár . Grznár refused the challenge as follows: "I'd like to respond here to the challenge from Mr. Kotlár because everybody keeps sending it to me like crazy... I'm not interested. Friends, I'll be 40 in two years, or almost three. I cannot fight, I refuse to fight somebody whose IQ is the same as that. It's just not possible."
I'm ending it now. I will not be fighting any cigáni, it's just not possible because it keeps being used against me," the bodybuilder said.
Grznár has previously been convicted of committing violence against a group or its individual members and for approving of a crime because he publicly expressed opinions that were racist, for which he was fined CZK 15,000 [EUR 610]. More than three years ago he made a video of himself approving of the murder of a Romani man on a Chomutov housing estate and threatening to massacre other Romani people.
