How are Mexican ethnicity fighters so good?

[dynamite12]

boxing has had so many.

And now in mma aswell this Ortega kid is a damn beast.

 

[Swoliosis]

[MMAart]

It's in the DNA. Natural born fighters.

Cain, Gastelum, Ferguson, Ortega, just to name a few.

Yes, the long history of great mexican champs in mma is undeniable.

Exactly

New kid Alexander Hernandez also made a helluva debut.

It’s like they are built to fight

Because the influences around them from a young age sway them towards combat sports, much like Russians and east Europeans.

That Alexander dude is a dirty douchebag, though. Faked a glove touch to kick Darius. Hope he gets his ass knocked out next.

Pretty much every ethnicity has their fair share of quality fights, aside from Asians

I haven't seen anything from Mexican UFC fighters that makes them unique.

I will say that the list of decent Mexican fighters seems to be growing at a faster rate than before.

 

[BillytheFish]

because the best fighters are always under privileged.

 

[maxi diablo]

I count the half white-mexican fighters too. Dom Cruz, Jeremy Stephens, Diaz bros can get the love too.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

How many Mexican GOATs are there? LOL

Pretty much every ethnicity has their fair share of quality fights, aside from Asians

It's because the parental Asian influence is predomina

 

[bigmacbub]

Lmfao because Mexican rule mma.......right.......

This. If you are born to an affluent society it's less likely you'll take punches to the head for a living.

It's because the parental Asian influence is predominantly school and academics.

Adversity breads success. How many privileged kids do you see go on to do great things in combat sport?
