Has anyone seen the 20/20 episode concerning this topic. It was very interesting. They studied sociological, genetic, and economic factors, and in conclusion... there was no single way to explain these factors that we are discussing.

Rashad Evans is undefeated, Melvin Guillard looks like a contender, Anderson Silva could be champ, Chiek Kongo is on his way up, GSP is about to fight for a title, BJ Penn is still a serious contender, and if you look at Pride.. all there champs except for Hendo are from different parts of the world.

Dude not that i'm trying to flame ya but GSP is Canadian yes, but Canadians are not another race. His topic is about different races of people (black/white).

Aright man cool. lol. Yes he is french but French Canadian and English Canadian aren't very different cultures. I live in the only Bi-Lingual Province in Canada and the culture isn't very different. I get your point, what you're saying but i just don't want a bunch of people thinking the french in Canada are different haha. In France it is a different culture but up here in Canadait's not very different from "english" culture.

???????????? What????????? Who said anything about racist if white people want more whites? I'm white. I'd love to see more whites in mma, as well as blacks, hispanics, etc. The more fighters the better 4 mma. Race shouldn't even be freakin issue to discuss. |
