georgelebrun Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Any chance of that happening in the next year or two? Nothing against Americans, just wondering..

Hells_Bartender Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't think so. Jones won't lose for a while although I hope he does. There will be a flyweight champ soon. Chances are Silva will retire soon and Weidman will probably step up. Cain could stop JDS also if he take the same approach as he did it the bigfoot fight.

RogerJones620 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It wouldn't surprise me, but in America's defense, most of our super athletic individuals go into NFL, NBA, MLB etc. When is the last time you saw a Brazilian Kobe Bryant, or Tom Brady? If the UFC ever starts to pay big, I think it's possible that you will see more elite tier fighters from America, but until then I wouldn't hold my breath.

If the UFC ever starts to pay big, I think it's possible that you will see more elite tier fighters from America, but until then I wouldn't hold my breath. Well Basketball isn't really that big a sport in Brazil and your kind of football (mostly played with the hands btw) is pretty much a non-sport outside the US. In Brazil they play Soccer, Volleyball or fight, that's pretty much it... And before anyone starts bashing, I like American Football, I follow it pretty well (Go Packers...) but it's really not a big sport... Great soccerplayers though are 13 on the dozen in Brazil and they have mad skills. Watch Neymar if you have any interest in soccer. That's poetry by feet... There has only been two european champs, as far as I know. Bas and Arlovski. Has there been someone else? The Americas pretty much owns UFC-championships, for now...

Vendur Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Maybe at some pint, long into the future. Silva's days are numbered. The HW belt is always a wildcard because of hw big and powerful the fighters are. Don't expect anyone to be champ for long. 155 will is pretty solidly american for probably years to come. GSP is still reasonably young but a bad injury for longevity. List below him is mostly americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfan663 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Joseph Benevidaz is American (Soon to be FLW champ) Dominick Cruz is American (BW champ) Benson Henderson is American (LW Champ) Carlos Condit is American (Interim WW champ and future undisputed WW champ) Jon Jones is American (LHW Champ) FW Brazil WW Canada MW Brazil HW Brazil its not that big of a deal. UFC is just now breaking the waters with Brazil so a lot of Brazilians are going to be coming into the sport China, Japan, Korea, India all of these asian countries expect to see more competition coming from there in the future.
