Media Will HW Iranian Khamzat turn Aspinall into the next DDP?

[Adamant]

Hopefully it doesn't take 5 years for him to get a title shot like it did Khamzat.

 

[Gamboal]

this getting the back and riding someone is just getting real old super fast.

I'm sorry to hear your boyfriend keeps doing that to you. Just tell him to stop next time.

 

[Aurelian]

Nice try, that's obvious BAIT!

It's common knowledge that Iranians, Chechens, Algerians, Egyptians, Palestinians, etc are all Arabs.

Arab means from Arabia. While Iran borders Arabia it's not in Arabia. They aren't Arab.

Yeah...it's common knowledge this totally dead wrong thing is right. Can tell you're really well versed in anthropology.

Egyptians and Palestinians are primarily arab, Algerians are more mixed. Iranians and Chechens are not arab at all... Imagine calling an Iranian person an Arab, holy shit. Most of Iran is not even near Arabia, do you think Turkish are Arabs too? Maybe throw in Malaysians and Indonesians or some shit.

 

[Jihad-MMA]

Most of Iranian DNA is caucasus.

Rubbish. They're completely different.

Man, if we could only rewind time. April 2022, Khamzat beats Burns, Nov 2022 give him the title shot, avoid the Leon era. He probably would've made weight with such a serious fight. The people who watched Khamzat during covid knew he was special. But there was just a force against him the whole time. That stupid Diaz fight derailed everything.

I was being over the top blatantly satirical, but your response is interesting and s different perspective than mine, as I would consider Palestinians, and certainly Egyptians and Algerians as distinct from Arabs, but adopted their culture through exposure and ultimately conquest.

Based on your response it seems like you're labeling countries that speak Arabic as Arab and countries that don't as not. Then you make that comment about Iran not being that close to Arabia but Algeria is much further away and yet you have no problem labeling them as Arab (I'm guessing because a majority of them speak the language?) but hedge with "mixed" because a solid minority sill speak their native Berber language.

I guess you could say "Arabized" because they adopted the language and religion, but if you just call them Arab that would be like calling Latin Americans Spanish (or perhaps Iberian) instead, because they adopted the languages and Catholicism.

No I wouldn't consider Turks Arabic but sounds like you would if they just replaced their language with Arabic.

Interesting body configuration, huh? Just a jacked middle-eastern boy.

Not like that obviously roided out of his mind Jon Jones.

what in the fuck is this cope

Khamzats fault from fighting so infrequently and missing weight.

They gave him a middleweight title shot after beating just one ranked opponent.

UFC gives him a very favourable road, handed him Nate Diaz on a platter so he could look good smashing a name.

oh i'm very sorry nothing wrong with that or anything, just enjoy yourselves

 

[markantony20]

Dude arab is far from caucus genes

Iranians are(mostly) non Arab though Arabs do live in Iran

 

[DiazSlap]

Chose to come out here, huh? Won't judge, you be you.

Latin America is literally named like that because they speak Latin languages, Spanish, Portuguese, and French

Pooya doesn't fight like Chimaev
He's not chaotic. He's what you would expect from an HW wrestler, he fights a bit like NCAA wrestlers coming to MMA 15 years ago

 

[Ryoto Machida]

He has a win over Kaynan Duarte in grappling. That's nothing to sneeze at

Not sure you comprehended what I said, but the point is that it would be super weird to refer to Latin people as the exact ethnicity of their conquering country/region as so many people are with the term Arabic.

The Arabian peninsula was a specific area and group of people that intermixed and conquered other regions, leading to them adopting their religion and language. That happened in South America as well, for example, with Portugal and Spain. It just seems very weird to me the idea of calling South American people "Iberian", which would be more equivalent to how Arabic is commonly used. Or calling Brazilians Portuguese or Mexicans Spanish etc.

Doing so makes it sound like the prior indigenous culture and people that lived there have been completely replaced and erased from history, it doesn't feel right brutha!

Maybe Matt Hughes, but most of those guys back then didn't have a sophisticated ground game beyond wrestling.

Canelo, Yoel Romero, Teresa Ruiz consider themselves Latinos even if their ancestors come from three different continents

Yes but Latino is distinct from Spanish, they're not literally called the same thing. Like Joel Alvarez is Spanish and Yoel is Latino. But somehow in the case of Arabs, the same term is used without distinction. It would be like if Yoel was called a Cuban Spaniard/Iberian or something the way most Algerians are called Arabs because they speak the language and adopted the religion of Arabs the way Yoel speaks Spanish and is Catholic. However as we discussed, the term Latino is used to differentiate the distinct culture and history of Yoel vs Spaniards.
