We are now officially in the Slavic era

[cauti0n]

So if he was born in NZ he would no longer be Yoruba?

Nah I agree with your point, just not using Black in comparison to Slavic people. It's more comparable to use his ethnicity.

 

[Karelinator]

Sorry to be a pain, I still dont understand (forgive the ignorance).

So is Dagestan almost a seperate country just under the Russian banner?

To put it simply for myself lol

It's not for what I know.

I imagine TS described him as "Dagestani" to denote that he isn't Slavic Russian, since this is what this thread's about.

Thus the "Dagestani" label.

So if elizeu zaleski becomes champion we will have the first brazilian-slavic champion? Cool.

There's no danger of Rachael Ostovich ever becoming a champ at least, I think.

 

[grimballer]

So some of the fighters you list like Volk dont even identify as being Slavic, are now Slavic.


Sherdog really knows how to write a narrative.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Its so weird how americans see nationality and culture lol, there are guys that have their grandad from ireland and still clame to be irish lol, the only slavic guy from your list is petr yan and blachowicks

 

[firstroundpick]

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Being Slavic is partly ethnicity and partly shared cultural customs and language group.
Migrating to a different country doesn't change your ethnicity.

Miocic is slavic in ethnicity for sure since both of his parents are croatian. His name is distinctively croatian and he even goes there regularly.

Valentina is slavic no question even more so than Yan probably since he has one chinese grandparent.

But yeah Vol was born in australia to a macedonian father, greek mother and doesnt seem to show much connection to his parents countries so that one is a little dubious.

Stipe doesn't even speak croacian, he's the most american blue collar guy ever, if we gonna call everyone who has slavic anscestry an slavic champion than we might as well do this with the rest, wo we have no american champions anymore, only irish or german champions. Having an foreigner name doesn't mean much as well, both my dad and grandad had italian names and surnames, are they italian? No they're brazilain and don't know shit about italy or the italian language

No you got that wrong he is American champion but he is also of slavic ethnicity. What is so weird about that?

Rocky Marciano was American champion no question but also of pure italian descent in the same manner as Miocic is croatian for example.

 

[arcadeperfect]

So Izzy is no longer black because he's from Australia?

I think it has more to do with the amount of culture you have in you. In Izzy's case he can speak the language and grew up in a Nigerian household which means family education, tradition, etc is still ingrained in him. In Volk or Stipe's case it's not very clear that they have any sort of bond with their heritage like Izzy, hence the comparison.

In Stipe's case its really clear if you follow his social media.

 

[Zarate]

Sounds Irish but Iam not really versed in irish last names.

we already have an irish cuck bro. two would be too much for the irish nation. let him be an american.

 

[druni]

Lol

None of them is true Slav apart from Jan

I say it as a Slav so GTFO

They are paternally mostly descend from the Slavic mgirants to the Balkans in the 6th century though (Hence why they contain high amounts of I2a and R1a) for the most part though. They still have mixed with the locals though but paternally they are Slavic for the most part.

 

[druni]

Granted but I also don't think he applies to this argument without knowing when his family moves to Aus.

With that logic theres never been ethnically an American champ as no champ has been Native American.


I get others but Volk is kinda clutching at straws.

His family are first generation immigrants.

Stipe grew up in a Croatian household...

 

[Harlekin]

Most of those nations hate each other and most of those "slavic" guys are either half of fully not slavic.
Stupid racist thread.

 

[notafighter86]

This thread was never going to work because people dont understand the difference between ethnicity, nationality and culture - they dont understand that all 3 can be different.

 

[Reffson]

UFC needs more non-binary purple and green haired French champs.

 

[RampageFaction]

I swear I have to look up the definition of ethnicity every time I view these threads. And it still leaves me puzzled.
