Americans just can't compete in international sports. That is why there are no American champions

I responded to a thread about American athletes, and someone brought up women who have no business fighting and should be making me a sandwich instead. Just pointing out obvious thread derailment sherbro.
that woman is an athlete who is American and also an Olympic gold medal winner. what have you done besides quote 2005-era shitty old memes?
 
I know you didn't just say music?? Lol. England smashes you in music.

<{you!}> ooof ....


14 of the top 20 selling artists in this century are us born.
19 of the top 20 selling artists live in the US or have prominent residences.

You guys got:

Ed Sheeran , who is building a 12.3m estate in Brooklyn
&
Adele, who has a mansion in LA and another penthouse or mansion in Los Angeles.

Rihanna lives here now
Bieber livers here now

(And spoiler... UK does not claim a single spot in the top TEN)

Good God. Talk about owning you, man your whole stance is built on being wildly ignorant and insanely confident about it...

Shit man, pack your bags, and come over,

I stopped reading at “woman”.
 
OP you're comparing the entire world's population against just the US. The EU alone has 1.5 times our population.

The pool of athletes in the entire world is much larger than just the US.

And we are .... WINNING!!

There have been 118 UFC champs per quick Google search

And 64 of them from US.

(Not to mention how many where living and training here when they were champs)


Score:

USA 64

Rest of the motherfucking world ... 54

"cant compete"

Pantoja trains in the USA
Harrison trains in the USA

jon jones
kamaru
Khabib
Joanna
demetrious johnson
Ronda
Dillasnake

"Cant Compete"

America competes just fine, the question is, would these foreigners be champ if they only trained in their native countries?
 
shitting on america is the easiest thing in the world, man. there truly is no lower hanging fruit. and yet you managed to pick a premise that is somehow 100% wrong. is this some kind of monty python skit or something

That's a pretty good point. I mean theres another thread saying Joshua Van is why the UFC should raid Myanmar for talent ignoring that Van left the country at 10 years old and obviously learned MMA in USA.

Mekrab literally came to USA just to learn MMA and he wasn't some big time wrestling prospect. He was a normal dude, started 0-2 and only trained at a local gym in a New York suburb. Took another level at Ray Longos and then from then just went to competitive gyms in USA.

For all the talk about Khabib and Islam, they got to where they are largely by training in America. Russia still does have relatively poor submission training and many of them absolutely need to go abroad to hit the next level.

So obviously USA is doing things right. They wouldn't produce good fighters otherwise. Just looking at what flags are next to male UFC champions and saying "yup, these are the countries that are good at it!" is really stupid.
 
Americans couldn't give a fuck less about kickball, tennis, F1, cricket or countless other sports. If they did, they'd be running that shit too. This country is filled with fucking imbeciles, but they do sport well.
Dont agree with the troll thread but thats a retarded take.
 

Here's that article again. Writer and Tapology are obviously just coping though.

Take scroll down to the charts by nation. Look at the US' peak MMA event count circa 2012 compared to the bottom out in 2020. Compared to the rest our peak was FAR higher, fell further, and didn't rebound quite as well as others. It's not just happening in the US, either.

But yes all those statistical facts that show a global decline in MMA, and the US decline being higher on average, were just to help us Sherdoggers cope with Ilia winning another and John retiring in the same week. Makes sense.
 
I think this touches on the main thing.

America still mostly draws its fighters from wrestling. They're naturally going to be way behind if they don't start trying to develop other skills until their 20s.

Meanwhile, fighters from other countries are getting more MMA specific training and experience much younger, especially the Caucasus fighters with their combat sambo.
Wrestling recruitment is also another issue. Wrestling as a sport started paying elite wrestlers to workout at their regional training centers (RTC). These wrestlers don't need to transition into MMA or work another job to survive. They can just wrestle at the camp and do seminars for extra cash. Not many elite wrestlers are willing to make the transition into MMA.
 
Sorry, mate. Olympic games is just a bunch of sports that nobody cares. Sorry
only 10th world shit holes care about futball.

partially because thats all they can afford to play. All you need to play futball is a tin can for the ball and 4 rocks to make the goal posts. Meanwhile a lacross stick costs more than their entire village combined makes in a decade. Don't get me started on a good golf club set and the country club fee

Which lines up pretty nicely with the end of the zuffa era.

The admin then LOVED fighting amd it showed.

Post sale has been 100% we need to make a buck now at all costs (to recoup on 4bn buyout) and don't have time to build anything besides our own brand .

That shitty attitude was bound to come home to roost.

Whenever these threads come up it’s always a fascinating competition about which side is more retarded….the overly anti-US mongs vs the ignorant, overly patriotic Americans.
 
americans would dominate if they paid 50m a year like nba or nfl does
