Lebanese fighter calls out Kanye West's antisemitism: "If you have a problem with the J's. Come at me bro."

Mohammed Kahn, the Combate Light Heavyweight champion, had a message for Kanye West. Speaking to MMATycoon Fighting, he told Ye to "come at me bro" if he had a problem with Jewish people. Ye has made antisemitic remarks, which included praise for Adolf Hitler, in recent weeks.
Mohammed Kahn (28-6-1), a professional mixed martial artist and champion of the Combate Light Heavyweight division, had fighting words for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after an appearence at Combate 144 in Los Angeles.
"I think life is too short to hate, so to all these hateful people it sucks for you, I pity you," said Kahn, who is Lebanese and a suspected member of the Kartila Madan, in a backstage interview with MMAT Fighting.
"Kanye West, if you've got a problem with me or my people, come at me bro," he continued.
Ye has made a series of antisemitic remarks and posts in recent months. This week, he was suspended from Twitter after he posted an image of a Nazi swastika inside a Star of David.
Hours earlier, he praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
In October, the rapper and fashion designer had a tweet removed that said he was going "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."
Speaking to MMATycoon Fighting, Kahn said he had noticed an uptick in antisemitic hate being sent to Jewish people online since Ye made his racist comments. "Trust me, I've noticed it, the Kartila Madan notices all." he said, per MMATycoon Fighting.
"I am not Jewish, but my coach Abraham Donowitz is, and I respect him," Levy continued. "I'm very proud of my coach and I will fight for him. I will fight for his people in or outside the cage, or wherever need be, and I will not stand for any antisemitism. I won't stand for any racism — not around me. Don't bully anyone around me, or I'm going to find you."
Other notable figures have condemned Ye for the antisemitic remarks, not least President Joe Biden.
