This man made me feel proud of being Mexican, and I’m italian.

This comment deserves more likes.

[@gabrielfernandez9792]

Like Brandon Moreno said: " We Mexicans are born wherever we want !! ". Italy included!!

[@lorddaquanofhouserastafari4177]

Gabriel Fernandez he said “we do whatever we want” it sounded like “nacemos donde queremos” but he said “hacemos lo que queremos”

[@gabrielfernandez9792]

@@lorddaquanofhouserastafari4177 No sir, he said "nacemos ..." Prior to him saying it, he says "... a toda mi gente Mexicana...de Mexico, de Estados Unidos, acuerdate que nosotros nacemos donde chingados queremos." He's talking about Mexican Americans, and Mexicans being Mexicans alike. It´s an old saying coined by Chabela Vargas, a Costa Rican born singer who lived in Mexico, and considered herself Mexican.

[@franciscodelacruz3764]

@Cold HEARTED Not only Mexicans but around the World. People were going crazy for him in the press conference, walk out, after he won. I've never seen a guy getting that much popularity and fan love who's in 125 division. Not even DJ was able to get a reaction like that, it was unreal to be honest. I can already see him selling more PPVs than Volkanovski if they both face opponents less popular than themselves, and Volk is the champion of a division which already had/have way more popular fighters like Aldo, Mcgregor, Halloway, Dustin, Oliviera, Faber, Barboza, Chad Mendes etc and is a way more established and recognised division than 125.
