Sorry to hear you lost contact with him through the years man, that sucks.

I guess, i assumed that by Assyria, that it was an old name for Syria. I'm wrong on that though aren't I?

When will we start seeing fighters coming out of the United Arab Emirates? BJJ is a mandatory part of their school curriculum....bound to happen, just a matter of time.

I see. Back in the day, Damascus was the capital for the Persians wasn't it? If so, that all actually makes a lot of sense to me that the name would be spread out that wide in the region. Persian Empire was huge.

call a Persian an Arab to his face and see if he agrees with you then lol

Chad Mendes

I knew you were joking, but I looked it up out of curiosity. Chad is of is of Portugese, Italian, Puerto Rican, Irish, and Native Amercican descent. How mixed can you get?

No man, he's Assyrian. My boy sponsored him last year, and he said he's Assyrian.
