The U.S. Supreme Court on June 14 upheld the conviction of two members of a group billing itself as the “premier MMA (mixed martial arts) club of the Alt-Right,” but which one extremist watchdog described as a “racist fight club” whose members engaged in violent acts at a 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The high court didn’t comment on denying the appeals of the two men, Michael Paul Miselis and Benjamin Drake Daley, with a June 14 list of summary dispositions (pdf) simply indicating “certiori denied.”
