All Mexican American Champs

[Summoning]

I am. It's not that complicated lol.

Then.. i am an "Argentinian American"

 

[BJJWrestler]

All these guys identify as Mexican American. Mexican Americans are people who are born in the United States who have recent ancestors who emigrated from Mexico. Not that hard of a concept to understand really. Point of this thread is that Mexican Americans account for a disproportionate amount of elite level MMA fighters.

Also, Woodley matches up bad against pressure strikers.. That's why Diaz would have a good shot.

 

[bad seed]

you left out the most likely to be Mexican-American champ:

 

[GOATER]

ITT, a bunch of white American guys trying to take credit for Mexican Mestizo/Indigenous fight genetics.


Wow you people are pathetic.

 

[AyDeeDee]

This identity politics BS in MMA is so pathetic.

 

[Megatronlee]

How Mexican is half of your List? I'm about as Mexican as some of those guys.

He counted Cruz and missed mendez

 

[BJJWrestler]

Cruz is half mexican. Mendez is part Puerto Rican I believe.

 

[Bogeyman]

Forgot Raphael Dos Anjos.

 

[El Fernas]

How many of those actually speak spanish?

Cejudo and Gastelum speak good spanish, Cain speaks poorly, considering he walks around with the mexican flag.
Rest of them my guess is they dont speak much if anything, i have the feeling Ortega might speak spanish, his family were rooting for him in spanish on Embedded.

[NotoriousMillions]

is Gastelum mexican? really?

Yes Gastelum is a Mexican name. It's just pronounced poorly by white people.

 

[NotoriousMillions]

Ferguson isnt really an spanish last name tho.

That's because his stepfathers name is that. His real last name is Padilla.

I believe they are all at least half? A couple might only be a quarter. They are still Mexicans.
