Did you know that Brazil and the US have the same number of UFC champions?
Brazil can grab a few more titles very soon with Costa contending at Middleweight, Ribas at flyweight, Burns at Welterweight, and Dern at heavyweight. Do you think Brazil will have more champions than the US by end of 2020?
 
Same number of champions...right now? or all-time?

Yeah there's more Oceania champions than Brazilian or US then, right now. Just a fluke. Also ehhhh, I mean Usman is American let's fucking be real here lol. He just pretends to be Nigerian or chooses to rep them.

It's a gray area. There are no native american champions, anyone from "US" is simply an immigrant or migrated here at some point, so yeah.

It's only speculation by that point.
Wasn't there the same thread like two years ago?? Since that time the champions from Brazil have been less, not more.

Yes, they are. Everyone with Russian passport is a Russian. Want it or not...

Russia will:

Khabib
Zabit - not becoming champ
Yan
Askarov - very unlikely.

Right now with both at 3. If Usman isn't Nigerian, I don't know who is
 
USA vs. Brazil vs. Russia

Russia is now officially part of the big 3 for MMA

The sport is in it’s infancy.

As the talent pool grows you will see less of one country dominating and a lower average age of champions.

If Aljo beats Yan, Moraes should get a crack at the title again since Aljo should want that win back, and Moraes DID beat Aldo after all.
 
Meh...

DJ is the best 125er in the planet

Cejudo is the best 135er in the planet

And they are both americans along with Usman so they are still #1. UFC being cheap and not paying their fighters well has lost the best fighters on both of those divisions.

Take away WMMA and Brazil has no fighter in any division that can be considered the #1 fighter, Ruissia at least has Khabib...

I definitely don't agree with that, it's an overplayed false narrative at this point. This sport is well past the point of infancy.

Infancy was 1993-2000 era. When one-dimensional fighters could excel. Even guys who are seemingly one dimensional now a days such as Khabib for example, aren't even close to as limited as Royce Gracie or Dan Severn.

This sport didn't just get "invented" like basketball or football did in their respective origins, in 1993 or during vale tudo days prior. No, this sport is built upon martial arts and combat sports that have existed for hundreds of years prior. This is simply the filtration of the effective techniques and mixing of the best arts/techniques applied to MMA rule sets.
