Demian Maia is half Russian

[Maripucci]

Lots of Germans migrated to Latin America instead of the states during the war.

Kingslayer

Maia's mother is of Russian ancestry.[84] He has a wife named Renata, who works for a Brazilian magazine.[85] Maia listed UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie as his inspiration to begin an MMA career, but lists Royce's brother Rickson Gracie as his primary hero.[86] Maia speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English.
wtf. Who else knew ??

He just said it in his podcast. That explains the his lack of expression as a Brazilian and maybe his raw strength in the clinch.

This was known 10 years ago. That was why Anderson hated him so much. But it’s true, Eastern Europeans some fighting genes in them

Lol always wondered why Khamzat went out of his way to look like that. Guys with a soft face tend to compensate

All kinds of Euros in Brazil, and the largest populations of Japanese outside of Japan.

Half Russian Half Brazilian 100% awesome.

 

[Taric]

He was born and raised in Brazil by his Brazilian father so what does it really matter

so true, he's very different from guys like Werdum and Anderson. So culturally he could be more Russian than Brazilian. I've known some Russians personally and they are stoic just like that.

Americans are becoming soft as charmin due to the liberals.

Wouldn't surprise me if Russia or another world power obliterates us off the map one day as we're calling psychologists to help us push the nuke button.
