I knew the answer, TS. At least you took the time to do it alittle different from other threads, I guess.

Isn't Miocic croatian? EDIT: I was wrong

what

 

[countswagula]

Not reading all that stuff

The US is the top country, obviously. It's where the sport's biggest promotion is based, where the wider talent pool lies, it has a potential feeder sport in wrestling that kids practice in school from their early years, it's where most of the top gyms are located, even ones founded by Brazilian teams, etc

alot of people will argue brazil is the top country with the best fighters so i thought I would break it down

 

[frandie2b]

I'm pretty sure China is the top country at Ping-Pong.

 

[blkmike817]

he is an american citizen

Thought he was born in Ohio?

Born and raised in Cleveland by Croatian immigrants

Stipe's parents are Croatian immigrants. He was born and raised in Ohio.

I see where you are coming from, but Stipe seems pretty Cleveland through and through.

 

[BrazilianDude]

Stipe's parents are Croatian immigrants. He was born and raised in Ohio.

My mistake then.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

As far as which country has better fighters, I would bide my time before answering. Both the US and Brazil produce a lot of very good fighters.

In the UFC I think American fighters have the edge, but that is not surprising given that it is a primarily US based promotion.

Also, once the Brazilians learn a bit of the American art of jiu jitsu, they will fare better.

 

[Dontevenguess93]

he is an american citizen

Than by your logic many of those Brazilians are Americans.

 

[muaythaibeast]

It probably is the US right now, but remember judging and the rules are both hugely biased to support the american wrestler.

 

[GetWrecked]

When I saw Barao vs Dillashaw and you picked Barao, I stopped reading.

 

[norsa]

Trick question, Europe stomps em both.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Than by your logic many of those Brazilians are Americans.

If a Brazilian was born and raised in Ohio, then yeah, they would be.

Be a little more subtle with your sarcasm next time. Too obvious.
