"That's what Mexicans do, we hold our ground & we fight" - Melendez

[Brueskie]

Tribalism. Tie a can to it.

I agree, i doubt cain even listens to the type of music that he comes out to.

Its called rancheras and Mexicans in California grow up on that kinda music he comes out to so Im sure he does

man i would be surprised if he listens to it. his spanish is decent. but you can tell its not his first language.

Just like Sanchez held his ground against Gomi :icon_lol:

Joe was being a bit hyperbolic, but it was a damn entertaining scrap.

Melendez vs Josh Thomson -- for LW Title
Diego Sanchez vs Evan Dunham
Nate Diaz vs Joe Lauzon
Conor McGregor vs Jorge Masvidal*... boxing-flavored matchup (at LW or CW)

*Masvidal for his Boxing-style and his Spanish, I know he's of Cuban decent.

...except at the Battle of Resaca de la Palma during the Mexican-American War. TAKE THAT, MELENDEZ!!!

 

[SoccerMom]

Joe rogan is an asshole who does a lot of jiu jitsu

This should be his entire Wikipedia page.

 

[n...not crazy]

Alright let's go to war. I could use some extra backyard space.


Who will Melendez fight for?

 

[nixkid]

So because I am Irish, English, and Polish by blood (genetics transcends race mostly, mind you), I can directly relate to those native peoples? lol

Apparently so..did you not see Conor Mcgregor fight in Boston. They were cheering for him and booing the American.

 

[Mifojei]

its called genetics

No such thing as being ethnically Mexican. Maybe more of a cultural thing. We often see the same kind of slugfests in boxing between Mexican fighters

 

[wlu29]

Not the best but pretty darn good

 

[n...not crazy]

I dont wanna stir too much up but. What if a white fighter says. "Thats what white people do, we dominate everyone".

Whites are awesome. We are all the same in personality and courage. Unparalelled.

Masvidal is Cuban...

 

[countswagula]

Are either of those guys actually Mexican or are they Mexican in the same way I'm British?

 

[Magooglie]

It's the greatest two guys punching each other sloppily fight. Better than Forrest/Griffin 1.
