What are the chances of India producing a high level fighter that can become the UFC champion?

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Athletic Indians would tend to pursue cricket, soccer and other more popular sports.

More like pursuing unicorns across Atlantis

I did a bit of digging and its not looking good for the whole region. The top 4 worst performers in Olympics(countries with Large population were considered)

Country	Population (millions)	Olympic Medals	Appearances	Medals per Million
Bangladesh	175	0	7	0
DR Congo	106	0	12	0
India	1500	41	26	0.027
Pakistan	246	11	18	0.045

Not hard to imagine an Indian female winning a UFC belt.

Useless country and useless people

I want to see legions of dhalsim lanklets running around like a bunch of 135lb Stephan Struves

Indians will never be good at sports, the diet is complete shit. Literally low protein

Indian ladies bitch about meat but will eat high sugar treats and greasy vegetables with their bellies sticking out. They don't feed their kids right

slim to none, heavy on the none.

 

[shiftyguy]

with the advent of genetic editing and maybe a eugenics program it is possible. A country that large must also have some outliers in more marginal communities. But genetically they are at a disadvantage. Or if they come up with the most advanced doping program

You would think with a population that big the law of big numbers would kick in, but I don't think they have the culture for it.

Next to zero, as long as Americans, Brazilians or Russians (both Slavs and Caucasians) are competing.

Some nations are built for battle, some are not. These are just facts.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

They can’t even run a drive thru window or win Olympic medals despite their massive population. There’s a reason for that and it’s quality over quantity.

You’ll never see Indians take over MMA or really any sport. They sure are taking over Canada though poorly and mostly just on our low wage jobs.

Fedor's win over Jaideep Singh was the one that put him at GOAT status

It's not happening unless they suddenly start caring about sports for some reason.

BS, they do care about spoert, but fighting requires a bit more than just being an athlete

 

[Patrick Jane]

Somehow, they are not high level in any sport though, so it's not like they're athletes who are just not interested in fighting.

Anybody remember this guy? XD https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Satisch-Jhamai-8337
(He actually fought Tom Aspinall) Pretty big for a fighter from India^^

That fella looks like he's had a few lamb samosa's in his time

Would fit in nicely with the UFC HW division
