Is Mendes Latino?

[frandie2b]

I thought he was part hobbit actually.

 

[Moneymma]

No,he is not

 

[DiegoLunes]

haha
What kind of "vibe" were you expecting?

Anyway, on Saturday night, the only "vibe" he will produce will be that of a WINNER.

Haha...maybe.

What I mean was he is big into hunting. I don't know many Latinos into hunting and being an outdoorsman.

I know a lot of Latinos with guns but they don't use them for shooting deer.

 

[Tsar]

exactly. white people named the heart of africa after their white selves.

Makes sense.

 

[Sdeev]

Hairy and round with gross tasting white fluid?

hold the fuck up.

Coconut water is gross?

 

[chubbman]

He's littletino for sure

 

[hoevan]

He's adopted. Mendez is probably not his biological parents name. He said it in a press conference when asked about his latin heritage. I can't find it...

I'm looking.

 

[Organic Damage]

the name "chad" is just such a white people name, too.

Chad Ochocinco begs to differ. :wink:

But seriously, if he could speak Spanish or Portugese you know the UFC would be all over that.

 

[Quantum Leap]

the "latino audience" is so overstated

it must really bum these fighters out to have to sell out their heritage and pretend to be some caricature

Like Munoz pushing being Filipino. I think the first time he ever went to the Philippines was just a couple years ago.

 

[Mammothman]

He was asked this in the "Welcome to the Show" press conference, he said he isn't

Thank you!

Is Chad Mendes Latino and if so, why isn't he marketed to the Latino market the way many of the other Latino fighters are?

Personally, I don't get much of a Latino vibe from him.

Latino? No, he is from the USA and, I believe, a portuguese name. And Portugal is in Europe. Dam...

 

[Yep]

Latinx

Why did you necro a 6 year old thread to reply to a banned poster who already had their question answered 6 years ago?

 

[Max_P]

He is 4'9

Daddy Dana no sell Gnomes

Well latino means from latin descent.
Portugal, italy and spain are all latin speaking countrys.
So technically a person from portgual descent is latin, but not latino because its not considered Latin American.
But if that same very portguese person was born in cuba they would be latino.
Weird shit with invisible lines
