Theres no male american champions (and one american female champion)

Tom Aspinall is the real HW champion and only brain dead retards would nominate someone that's failed PED tests as an MMA GOAT.

The true MMA GOAT is Demetrious Johnson. 11 consecutive title defenses. A record not likely to be broken.

glad you admit the GOAT is American

No worries. Sandhagen, pico, and Brady are on their way

I mean America's premier athletes all end up making generational money in other sports, while these MMA guys fight for scraps (comparatively).

MMA is higher on the list than it used to be, but still isn't too high on the "when I grow up..." list here in the states.

Sandhagen and Sean Brady are their only hope

There are way more opportunities to make money as a wrestler today than there was fifteen years ago for guys like DC or Askren.

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Askren talk about this, I doubt he would’ve done MMA had he come up today

Interesting, I had no idea. I figured the money someone like DC was getting was greater than any opportunity for wrestlers. But then you see guys like Gable Stevenson take WWE over UFC compared to how we used to get. They rolled out red carpet for guys like Cejudo and DC, immediate top matchups.
