american love stats, in all sports. I mean, come on, sometimes i turn on the tv and espn is showing a baseball game. Pitcher is about to throw the ball and they pop something "Strikeout percentage with fast ball against left handed strikers who ate an apple and took two cups of coffee with sugar" wtf.
so, stat lovers, americans are on top now. Actually, they have always been and will always be, sometimes sharing the number1 position with brazil here and there. They invest in the sport more than all other countries together, meaning they got the best in terms of coaches, conditioning, nutrition, sparring, plus they wrestle since forever and the rules/scoring system favors wrestlers (you move forward and hit your opponent the whole round, but if in the last 1 minute he takes you down and keeps the position, he won the round)
there will always be talent in other countries, of course. Im Brazilian, we have always produced great fighters and will continue to. Americans, due to all above, are rightfully in number1 position.
