Will Nigeria take over MMA?

[MilkSteak]

Ngannou is a product of a European mma gym, and usman was only born there, but did all of his raising and training in the u.s.

Genetically they are gifted athletes, but it doesn’t mean squat because they have no martial arts there.

On a side note:

Don’t people prefer to pretend that no ethnicity has a genetic advantage over another, because then the case can be made that certain ethnicities have an intellectual advantage over others?

Nigeria is pound for pound the top nation right for MMA talent IMO, not fighters, but genetic talent

The answer is no.

 

[torry]

Usman won't beat Woodley
Israel won't beat Whittaker
Also, two fighters and you talkin bout a takeover?

You, know that for a fact?

No I don't. The same can be said about the "takeover"

 

[legcramp]

no but they took over Craigslist.

Positive stereotypes are also hurtful. Bad thread.

No one with any sense argues that asians aren't the best at math

some things are undeniable regardless of their political correctness

These mother fuckers coming to take over - not take part.

The irregular migrant era is for real

 

[Blayt7hh]

Nigerians are slim, low body fat and long limbed, think of Jones/Anderson silva on steroids.

What do you mean? They were on steroids

Being the best doesn’t necessarily mean genetically the best. All sorts of factors could lead them to being the best. I’m not arguing against you, by the way, just saying that it’s not conclusive. Wouldn’t by saying some ethnicities are the best at certain things allow others to say certain ethnicities are the worst at other things? If so, can’t by saying Nigerians are athletically superior (I agree with this, by the way), allow other people in the same breath say that they are genetically less intelligent? If we can’t say that, then can’t we conclude that Nigerians are the superior ethnic group? By way of being athletically superior and intelligently even with the rest, they would concisivly be the best. If we can say they are genetically less intelligent..that opens up a p.c. shitstorm.

Just wondering what the train of logic on this type of shit is

 

[Grapplefest]

There are two top Nigerian mma fighters and they were raised and fighting skills were cultivated in different countries. Not quite a takeover.

That's very debatable above US high-school level.
