Though the UFC commentators never mentioned it, Chance Rencountre (who fought tonight, in case you missed it) is an Osage from Oklahoma. Have there been any full-blooded male Native American fighters besides him and David Michaud who have fought in the UFC?
 
Dan Henderson, Cain Velasquez, Frank Shamrock, etc many others.

Native American? Full-blooded? But that's interesting if it's true that he's a full-blooded Native Mexican, or whatever they're called in Mexico. I will check that out.
 
Wachim spirtwolf...back in the day. Strikeforce, Bellator fighter

Dan Henderson of course

Currently. Nicco Montana UFC women's flyweight champ
 
Sort of true...so I edited my question details. I meant FULL-BLOODED.
thats why full blooded is kind of a weird thing cause Frank looks more indigenous than the guy you mentioned in op.

native american can refer to the race of the natives peoples of the americas, its time people started recognizing that instead of trying to segregate us from our brothers south of the border.
 
Interesting... Would be a market to tap into.

For your future reference, indigenous people here in Canada (besides the Inuit and Metis) call themselves First Nations people or "Indians" casually, but NEVER "Native Americans" or even Native Canadians.

yeah I hear you, its just people in the US try to play dumb when it comes to recognizing indigenous blood/peoples outside of the us.
 
Both my parents are Americans, guess I'm 100% native American

All this race crap is just that, crap. I was born, raised and served in America. I’m 100% Native American!

put that on the census and see if the government recognizes you. oh right you dont put down your race because you dont believe in it, right?
