No thanks I’d rather not see some punjab who is 6’3 fighting at 105 lbs

 

[Ibm]

I doubt it. But I am sure its possible with the right approach.

Surinanese are mostly of Indian descent. Look it up. It's life places like Fiji. The British brought them over to work the sugar plantations

Suriname is a mix of indian, black , indonesians, europeans and indigenous people. Indians make up 27 % of the population. Tyrone looks mixed race but predominantly black.

Yeah fiji like 45% indian and 55% native melanesian. All the the athletes that fiji produces and is actually famous for in rugby and other sports actually come from the native melanesian groups and not the indians. Native fijians are highly athletic

Ever is a very extreme word. Soccer has been around for years and no indian team has made it to the world cup.

Its about interest in the sport. They care more about hockey and cricket. Perhaps in 30-40 years.

 

[ocfightfan]

Theres over a billion of them so who knows what can happen with that large of a population.

 

[TatooNU]

How the f can Willy Wonka, Donnie Brasco, etc be a Native American?

 

[somocjcsom]

That Inception music though.

Best thing about this video. Everything can be epic with this song

Us “Fighting Irish” have had success in boxing, don’t see why it’s a surprise we have had an MMA champ. Irish people are probably tougher that people wherever your from ;-)

I was speaking to an Indian callcentre once about getting a sports channel and asked what boxing they showed. “Bofting??” He replied. After a few tries to explain what boxing was I said, you know like “Muhammad Ali” and he said “yes I know Muhammad and Ali” that’s when I gave up and hung up.

Maybe because we aren't talking boxing but MMA. 2 very different sports, no?

Who is another irish fighter who is a champion other than conor? or has fought for a belt recently? or is even in contention for the belt?

Not many, right? I don't think it was an outlandish statement, bud.

 

[NoSmilez]

Around the same time that they stop shitting on the streets.

 

[cheesus]

From my experiences Indians don't seem to be that interested in athletics I've never really come across many great Indian athletes in my time, all the Indians I know focus their energy on either in IT, Engineering or Telecomms. Don't know many that have a great physical work ethic either...I've very rare to come across Indians that work in trades in my country.

Great at Cricket though.

The Chinese are WAY ahead of the Indians when it comes to combat sports.
Over twice as many Olympic wrestling medals (11 medals, incl. 2 gold), 12 medals in boxing (Indians have 00), and at least 2 professional boxing world champions (India again 00).

Yeah seemed a bit of a shitty comment to make to be fair. Ireland’s total population is less than that of a say somewhere like Maryland. Considering MMA isn’t huge in Ireland we have punched well above our weight for our population size by having taken 2 UFC titles.

Having so many great boxers over the years for a small country shows for our size we excel at combat sports, so as MMA takes off over here I’m sure we will see more top MMA fighters. So yeah the whole of Ireland can do it anyone can doesn’t sit well with me.
