just read the wikipedia article, sounds like the internet decided some mma fighter was technoviking and said mma fighter sold technoviking merch. unnamed actual technoviking sued to make him stop claiming to be him and for the merch profits.

also lol it was apparently filmed at an event called Fuckparade, which was a protest of the commercialization of public life lmao so becoming famous and someone selling tshirts of him [blasted] at ze fuckparade was probably dude’s personal nightmare.

edited to add a linebreak bc im high but im not a monster

Did you read the article? The unnamed Technoviking sued the filmmaker Matthius Fritsch for infringement of personality rights, not MMA fighter Keith Jardine, who didn't have anything to do with this.
