    I suspect the conversation about breaking into the enormous latin fan base that boxing has goes something like this around the ufc offices

    Herb Dean did more damage to him than Ken Stone.

    I would love to see mma gain a foothold in Mexico. Mexican boxers are always among the most exciting fighters in the world.

    Lulz. They did the same thing with Huerta years back. I remember being in East Los Angeles to visit my Grandfather for Christmas and there was Huerta/Guida billboards everywhere.
