Could brandon moreno be a big step in the mexican market?

[Bangkok ready d1]

The ufc channel just did a piece on him some days ago, the mexican market is quite non explored really, of big names they got yair and moreno and the later has big chances of becoming champion. I mean having the first mexican ufc champion might do wonders for them.

A burrito is better in the mexican market

Better hope Tyron isn't logged on.

 

[BobblyStruggles]

Yes. Better than Yair.
Dude is active, great personality, great fighter and entertaining style.
Rooting for him to win, but he has a big challenge ahead of him.

they already had a champion, Cain Velasquez.

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

they already had a champion, Cain Velasquez.

He was Mexican American tho. How did Mexican nationals respond to his reign?

 

[MartinGibson86]

I guess.


Seems he has bigger aspirations than having people wallk over him to get in a grocery store.

Cain is an American of Mexican descent. Moreno is Mexican born, raised and lives in Mexico.

They had an american champion? I guess you are mistaking the countries bro

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

i don't even know. i don't live near or in Mexico. but if i had to guess, they didn't really care? even though he was the 1st ever Mexican HW champ of any combat sports.

this is all just speculation on my part, but if i had to guess i think Mexican nationals probably cared a lot more about Andy Ruiz winning the HW title in boxing than Cain being the HW champ in UFC. no doubt boxing practically being a part of Mexican culture has a lot to do with that. but that's just my opinion, i have no evidence of this.

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

Cain didn't even speak Spanish well. Pretty much UFC or MMA or Boxing or Wresting is on at any pub here but the people just aren't that die hard about MMA but they are about Boxing and Wrestling.

yeah, an American champion who is a Mexican. i mean, i'm fine if the Mexicans want to disown Cain because his dad skipped the border to have him.

Mexican Americans are not considered Mexican and they are easier to spot than gringos.

damn, so you guys still have zero HW champs then? since Cain and Andy Ruiz are both unMexican?

Fuck man, I never heard of this. I still like the dude no matter what.
Sadly, majority of the UFC is on something.

I mean thats not how it works, im talking about nationality here. I know you muricans don't really understand that but if thats how it goes i think marvin vettori ain't gonna be the first italian ufc champion, they already had some

Yeah they are American by birth and culturally.
