[@jakedemaggio8649]

Ya that’s 2. They are talking about the likelihood of Mexico having the kind of success in mma like they have in the smaller weight divisions in boxing. They are wondering if Mexicans will ever be as dominant in MMA like Americans, Brazilians & Russians. The answer is no, because it’s the nations who have a strong cultural connection to grappling, & have competitive world class grappling taking place that end up dominating the sport. That is absolutely not the case in Mexico.

[@elizaquinonez5469]

That Mayan & Aztec warrior bloodline will definitely make their mark in MMA!

[@elyas4637]

There's no such this as permanent. Like the Gracies and BJJ, they dominate for a long time but people adapt and it would be all balance again.

[@toreworld5820]

Name 3 fighters from Dagestan in the ufc…. I’ll wait. If you do that, name 3 dagestani fighters in the top 10 of any division… Then if you can do that, name 3 dagestani fighters that have held a belt in the last 10 years not named Khabib. I’ll let you use Islam… usman is in Bellator, not the ufc but he is a champion now, not in the ufc though. The ufc, at the moment is full of champions from all over the world, full of top contenders from all over the world… not too many elite level dagestani fighters in the ufc making noise. Please stop talking about shit you don’t know. You see Islam win the title at lightweight n say dagestani’s are taking over. Maybe they own 155 but that’s about it…

[@moazz2477]

@@toreworld5820 they are coming up. Islam is LW Champion. Umar is doing good, is still undefeated and is number 12 in the BW division. Ankalaev has a title fight in december to become LHW champion. Abu bakar is still active and I think he will put himself in the top 15 in the WW division.

While Mexico already has a presence in UFC (Yair, Moreno, Cain, Ortega, Ferguson, etc.), I think they really need to have a strong focus on the wrestling aspect of MMA. This of course with the striking will create much more success imo

Shout out Moreno and Yair. I was in Dallas watching Yair and Frankie and the row in front of was all Mexican fans. They had custom made Yair merch on!!! I was like where did y’all get that and they made it. Huge fans. I bet two of them $100 Yair would lose and I got super lucky. I know Masvidal isn’t Mexican but they were going nuts for him too. Lots of good Latin talent and when the UFC gets that PI built down there you’re going to see guys you never knew existed that are really good. That’s why we love this sport. It’s so worldwide that the only current American champ is Aljo.
