Elias is 2 wins away from a title shot.
MW is top heavy. He'd get badly embarrassed by anybody in the top 6-7.

that's not true, have you seen Polynesians?
being born a Polynesian male automatically makes you 28 times more likely to become an NFL player than any other ethnic group in the world, and Polynesians are all brown.
to keep my post on topic, i think Juan Adams will win. bigger, seems more athletic, probably can stop the wrestling.
I mean Amir Khan was still decent. Aside from his glass chin he has some good wins. Lol.
Brown with respect to physical skin color perhaps, but the genetic and physiological differences between a South Asian and a Polynesian seems like night and day (I say this having no expertise in the area, just an observation).
To the other posters points, athletics aren't really prioritized in the country. Coupled with a low protein diet, India isn't exactly pumping out A level athletes. With that being said, I think that is almost entirely cultural. Where as countries like China have elite athletic programs dedicated to training sport specific athletes (olympic training centers), India has virtually nothing to cultivate domestic talent.... unless it's cricket.
I meant brown as in like, Indians/Paki's/Sri Lankans/Arabs etcetc...
didn't they have some good wrestlers way back in the day? i remember reading about The Great Gama and him coming from some kind of dynasty of wrestlers i wondered what happened to that?
I wouldnt put Arabs(Middle Easterners) in same category as South Asians. Are you Indian btw?I meant brown as in like, Indians/Paki's/Sri Lankans/Arabs etcetc...
Yeah thats probably because Cricket is the #1 sports for men in South Asia and whats next Field Hockey? Which is seen as a womens sport in North America. So both sports dont really need “A Level Athletes”for sure, Amir's still good imo. I actually think he's had a good career and I'm not saying there's gonna be 0 in sports history, I mean there's 1 billion Indians alone, but, the large majority of people from south east asia/middle east are not athletic at all.
Load of racist nonsense. People just like different sports in different parts of the world. There have probably been less well known pro athletes from those parts of the world because those parts of the world have in the past been underdeveloped and not conducive to a lot of people becoming pro athletes. Just like Africa.for sure, Amir's still good imo.

Every succeasful pro athlete from that part of the world disproves your racist theory and you'll find them in football, cricket, tennis and virtually every other sport.
Fight was confirmed by Arjan via his instagram for the May 4th card that I do believe is headlined by Elias vs Brunson.
sorry if posted elsewhere, did a search and couldn't find anything but Idk if it shows people I've blocked.
I am going to this card, and if Brunson vs Theodorou is the main event I will be pissed. I can accept it as the co-main.
I haven't heard any confirmation about the main event and I can't imagine getting stuck with that abomination as the main event. A 5 round Split Decision Theodorou victory?pretty sure they confirmed Elias vs Brunson is the main event, which kinda sucks. But here's to hoping Derek takes Elias' head off and they get rid of him. p4p most boring fighter on the planet.
Poor Elias, he is a cocktail of everything Sherdog hates in a fighter:pretty sure they confirmed Elias vs Brunson is the main event, which kinda sucks. But here's to hoping Derek takes Elias' head off and they get rid of him. p4p most boring fighter on the planet.
Rumor is that Bhullar is bringing in Satish Jha for this camp.
If he doesn't get injured and/or concussed too much, he should be too prepared to lose.
Bhullar via Jhaplata 1st round.
Can we ban the name "The Kraken"? It's like one of those words that fighters found out and now everyone from TFerg to Greg Hardy is calling themselves it. Too confusing. Just go with Beastin' 25/8 or Showeather instead. Even they would be better.
Not south asians but Moroccans and other Arabs are very into Kickboxing. Does Badr Hari ring any bells? Theres a bunch of other ones in Kickboxing, too many to list. Prince Naseem Hamed in Boxing.Paki, hence the Pak in Pakman
