Is the UFC lacking diversity?

[humdizzle]

Assuming Izzy loses to DDP and Jones retires after beating stipe... when will we have another black champion?

265- Curtis Blaydes just lost. Gane to unify with Aspinall if Jones retires? i dont like his chances though
205 - jamahal hill ? nope... khalil rountree has some work to do to get into the title picture.
170 - leon and usman probably wont get another shot anytime soon. everyone is all about jdm, garry, shavkat at WW
155 - nobody at LW outside of jalin turner who is like just in top 15
145 - ?
135 - ?
125 - Cape is #9

wmma - ?

I wouldn't say diversity, I would say its lacking originality

 

[Neck&Neck]

Diversity doesn’t mean only black



UFC is most diverse and inclusive sport in human history

Yikes when did we become CNN?? UFC literally has fighers from every corner of the planet....If you can't find someone "diverse" enough for you to root for that seems like a you problem.

[TheTickG]

[Koala]

They should resign Platinum Mike Perry

 

[Contempt]

Who gives a fucking shit? People who are obsessed with skin color are retarded.

Your trolling is lacking diversity.

 

[Wormwood]

Don’t worry TS… this champ has every color covered so you can take a sigh of relief.

You can add an extra point to that tally since Sean is also trans.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Yes the UFC is an old, old wooden ship.

Off to The Lightweights.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Your trolling is lacking diversity.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Francis is still HW champ

 

[HolmeZy55]

If by lacking you mean plenty of diversity then yes...

We have Asian champions, we have black champions (Jones), we have Arab champions, we have brown/latino champions...

Weak troll bro, go fuck your mum or something.

Maybe but its hard to tell because in the past it was so much worse. Like 10 years ago it was just Americans and Brazilians with a few favorite sons from other countries.

The UFC obviously plays favorites though. In terms of race if we look at the amount of wins a Marty or a Leon needed to get a title shot you might be on to something. But I think this might be playing to what they think their audience wants rather than the UFC favoring any colors but green.

The UFC most plainly discriminates against grapplers who grapple most of the time. That is the most obvious pattern of discrimination we've seen.
