DC winning the UFC HW belt in 2018 was probably the best thing to happen to Fedor's legacy; a guy even smaller than Fedor as the top dog in the modern era.

People were speculating about an eventual foreign takeover of the NBA as early as the 1980s; guys like Dominique, Ewing and Hakeem were already dominating back then. By 1998 (Jordan's final ring), probably 5 of the top 15 NBA players were foreign-born: Timmy Dikembe Hakeem Ewing Divac People...

Justin Trudeau has some distant South East Asian blood.

The Romans' legacy exists through Italic-speaking countries. In order of peak GDP, the most powerful have been: France Brazil Italy Spain Mexico Argentina

I think current Edwards beats every 170 lb fighter in history. Near-prime GSP should've lost to Hendricks.

No he wasn't. He wasn't as tall as advertised, plus he had a relatively narrow waist with thin wrists and ankles, when compared to proper heavyweights like Ngannou and Blaydes. His natural build was comparable with other former 170 lb fighters like Jailton and Thiago Santos.

Arlovski was a UFC champ at 265 lbs, but lost a UD to former 170 lb fighter Rumble Johnson. Jon Jones is a UFC champ at 265 lbs, but many people think he lost to former 170 lb fighter Thiago Santos. GSP was a UFC champ at 185 lbs, but got taken to a split decision by BJ Penn, who fought at 145...

It's funny you should mention Overeem. I reckon in an openweight scenario, the best MMA fighters born in Europe, excluding Eastern Europe are easily: Gane - France Aspinall - UK Overeem - UK Gustafsson - Sweden

I'm surprised Aspinall is the betting fav. He has the thinnest resume of anybody who fought for the UFC HW title since Mark Hunt almost 9 years ago. Guys like Blaydes, Volkov and Tuivasa have done far more in the sport than him without ever getting close to a title shot. I reckon Pav will...

They began properly tracking that stuff in 1968. In terms of TV market size, Rangers vs D-backs is the the 5th largest vs the 11th largest, so it wasn't a horrible match-up. Here's the last 30 years...

Tuivasa is the greatest heavyweight born in Asia, the Americas or Oceania; if you exclude the US and Brazil.

China isn't rich, and countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE take massive amounts of poor immigrants, relative to their native populations; more than Western countries. Japan and South Korea both have unique languages that are extremely difficult for non-native speakers to learn in adulthood...

They are literally active laws that have passed state review; and they've existed for years!

"As of 2021, 35 states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel."
