America > Brazil > Russia > UK

[DatSamboKid]

Ever wondered which country has produced the most champions and high level fighters in the UFC?

America is the obvious answer, but how many? And who comes in second? Brazil? Russia? Canada? UK?

TLDR? America by a fucking landslide.

America is by far number one. 70% of our current champions (excluding Nicco Montano) are American. Brazil takes number two by a landslide. Russia and UK are very close. Out of all the roster, Russia has 7 top 15 fighters and the UK has 6.

Before some of you claim Russian's are taking over MMA, remember this; They are far behind Brazil, who are far behind Americans.

Russia is still quite new to the UFC... they haven't ever had so much fighters. Maybe a lot of them won't become champions, but you can't deny guys have a solid place in the top 10/5 in the coming years.

The UFC is pretty international..

 

[Supereem]

And champions in humility!

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I guess but when it comes to the GOATs it's pretty even. 1 for Russia, 1 for Canada, 1 for Brazil, and 1 for USA.

 

[CasterMard]

Brazil is a part of America.

[GoldenAzazel]

And 1 for Ireland.

Do many actual fans have him seriously in the GOAT conversation?

 

[LouisBolanos]

All that matters is AMERICA > THE REST OF THE WORLD

AMERICA = NUMBER 1

 

[Sterling]

No surprise, I do expect more Russians to make noise in the future though

 

[BigMuffler]

2? I have Jones down as my 1, who's your 2?

WAR3 refers to R3, Rowdy Ronda Rousey.

 

[Nightwish]

But the GOAT is russian. Deal with it. War Fedor.

 

[LouisBolanos]

You non Americans are welcome to create a bigger promotion than UFC.

You non Americans are welcome to create a better website than Sherdog.

Except you can't, can you?

Because we're simply the best at everything that matters.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

WAR3 refers to R3, Rowdy Ronda Rousey.

I guess. Women's MMA is still young and you could argue for Cyborg or JJ taking that spot.

 

[whougonnacall]

The UFC is pretty international..

Not really it used to be 9 yanks selected for evey one foriegner and theyve barely altered that

 

[007]

Also, if you break it down by division it's a lot closer.
