Again these socialists claiming 2 nationalities at once?

[Jeandoozz]

who cares about the "truth" actually ? we can all agree on the fact that UFC did it as a childish move to piss off Ngannou, and it worked. That's all. It's like when i say that your mother is a whore. It dosn't matter if she is really or not. Actually it's even better if she is not.

How cute, veiled racism.

Their Nationalities are obvious:
Israel Adesanya - Chinese
Dricus Du Plessie - African
Cheik Kongo - French
Justin - Gaethje - Mexican
Cung Le - American

That doesn't look like France's flag

In fact as I see, he has actually 3!! different nationalities at once:

That's fair. At other times it's been France, has it not? Is he switching what country he represents the way he switches underwear?

What's going on with you dude?!?
There are literally 2 nationalities listed under the section Nationality.
There is no third.

According to Sherdog Sokodjou is (fighting) from the USA.
Francis Ngannou is listed as French.
How are they all of a sudden Cameroonian? Can they have two ethnicities at once?
Why are they living in the USA when they represent another country? Is USA a cow which everyone could milk for own or another country's profit?

I know its only August and we have a lot of year left, but this post might hold up as the stupidest post of the year!

Snowflake looking for a reason to be offended.

FFS.... I don't give a shit where they are from, color of their skin, plumbing between their legs, or any other identity politics horse shit dumb asses these days are so fixated on ... If they step into the cage give it their all, put on an exciting fight, say their thank yous in the post fight interview and go home and act like a decent human being, I'm a fan... all this other shit is a put off....

Isn't socialism usually fervently nationalistic?

Which "offense" of theirs do you consider "socialist"?

It can be, in the case of fascist types, but I would say it's usually more "world citizen" minded, which is what TS is alluding to.

 

[MEAN357]

TS woke up today READY to be mad at "ethnicities" lol

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Who cares? For someone like Francis he is both very much so French and Cameroonian, a French Cameroonian. Izzy was born in Nigeria and he grew up some there and New Zealand, which is where he now lives. A Nigerian Kiwi.

Are you implying people shouldn't train or live elsewhere than the country they were born? Or that people should identify souly, if at all as a fighter from wherever it is they train? Many guys train abroad, or train in multiple different countries year round.

Maybe people are multi ethnic, truthfully and people like the push back against this but everyone is multi ethnic...Every ethnicity stems from groups splitting and other groups joining and changing.

Izzy disagrees with you. He says he's Chinese.

 

[Ozze]

Dumb thread. It's obvious that people don't care about what nationality a figher claims, even if is more than one, until it's a fighter that they don't like. Than, all of the sudden, it's the most important thing.

Stop bitching about it.

 

[Feniamin]

What a silly thread. Yes you can have dual nationality. Some countries even allow triple nationality. One of such “socialist” countries is the UK, another are the USA.

In UFC there is few Russian fighters who holds like 3 citizenships - Taisumov, Shevchenko sisters.

 

[Spiderbite]

This is going to go well.

at everybody who is ranting over the nationality in mma......who gives a flying fuck. this is not a team sport, this not the olympics where medals get counted with each nation. nobody gives a shit. we all love mma. why the fuck would i care if ngannou is cameroon or france.

do you really care if he fights under x flag or y flag?

MMA can also count belts by nationality. According to your logic they must remove country representation in fencing, boxing, swimming & running on the Olympics because everybody represents only theirselves personally and not their countries..
There's a ufc statistics champions by nationality in the ufc. You can go check it on wikipedia. That's where my claims come from for Ngannou. I'm talking with facts here!

Not Shevchenko, Nor Taisumov are Russian. Shevcheko is originally Ukrainian, but was born and lived in Kyrgyzstan.
