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

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.

In NYC, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans are called Spanish, but they don't have Spaniards
If you go to the Gulf nations, they will distinguish Arabs (people from Arab-speaking countries) from Ethnic Arabs (people from the Arab Peninsula who look local)
BTW it has nothing to do with the religion, Copts are Arabs and have never been Muslims throughout history. I guess it's the same for neighbouring countries

Haha I grew up in NY as a young kid and I do remember Puerto Ricans being referred to as Spanish, but this is all still different from what I understand to be academic distinctions.

Yes true you can have Christian Arabs, Latino Jews, etc.

This pic is the stuff of Tom's nightmares.

Gane, being a highly intelligent fighter, read my thread and took the appropriate action to bring this man in.

Pouya just steamrolled his stiffest competition yet in PFL, by the way. His striking is coming along at an incredible rate and he has legit natural KO power.





By the way, just so you get a sense of how good his grappling is, the guy he beat in straight grappling and then knocked out in MMA is a former Olympic HW wrestler.

He needs more than good wrestling to beat Aspinall. Black Beast knocks the beard of this guy.

Rahmani is a scary dude, my favourite non UFC HW by far.

 

[Trabaho]

I'm not sure I can even get myself to reply to their incredibly dense comments.

Iran national wrestler Pouya Rahmani appears to be absolutely unstoppable, it's just a matter of if the UFC wants to protect its British Nancy boy striker.

I'm not sure you got room to talk

UFC protecting Tom from a random 4-0 guy.

My opinion is this thread should go to the lightweights sub forum.

Now find me a video of him throwing a punch, and landing. Let alone drop someone. LOL!

Jones fans/Tom haters really clutching at straws lately.

A little more than just the first 4

Poor guy didn't have a shot against Khabib....

He just knocked out the highest level opponent he's faced and there is a video posted

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

my question about HW prospects is ALWAYS, has he been chin checked yet? because skills are good and all but having a good chin is pretty much a must have for the HW division. we have to check dis moment, please brather

Copts are Arabs in the same way indigenous Americans are European.
