Eight Different Countries Represented on the UFC 299 Main Card

[Leonard Haid]

Seven countries were represented on that main card:

Brazil - Teixeira, Santos, Fialho
Australia - Giacomo Della Maddalena, Matthews
Czechia - Prochazka
Kyrgyzstan - Shevchenko
China - Zhang
Poland - Jedrzejczyk
Russia - Emeev

Fialho is from Portugal, so that makes eight. We were both wrong. Not sure how I came up with nine.

Didn’t know that was Jacks real name, pretty cool

I was wondering who TF was Giacomo, if he was Jack's brother or something lol

12 was the most nationalities I've ever counted on a card some years ago. Can't remember which. If I could find a way to access ancient post history of mine I could find out which.

Edit. I think it was Johnson vs Gustaffson on FOX.

Chookagian u have as USA/Armenia?

What is her background? Like is there more than that line from wiki?

I dunno I think I saw a graphic with an Armenian flag for her. I know she strongly identifies with her Armenian heritage and I guess I assumed she has a dual citizenship or something.

Giacomo Della Maddalena is Jack Della Maddalena's civilized alter ego.

Needs more cowbell...


I mean Canadians

Aussieland is a hoax though. Doesn't really exist.

Yeah it doesn't make any sense. There's no glue strong enough to hold a land so big AND filled with kangaroos. The land and the kangaroos would be falling and believe me, nobody wants that, especially the kangaroo part of that scenario.

I dunno I think I saw a graphic with an Armenian flag for her. I know she strongly identifies with her Armenian heritage and I guess I assumed she has a dual citizenship or something.

I didn’t even know she was Armenian then remembered that damn near every Armenian has the -ian part in there last name.

Yeah it's one of the most reliable cultural indicators for names. I think almost every Armenian is either -ian or -yan.

Edit:After conducting several minutes of light anthropology research I only found one Armenian last name that doesn't end in -ian or -yan: Agassi

Perhaps unsurprisingly, -ian just means "son of".

One of my best friends is Armenian. Her name ends with ian.
That's a small sample but I know her very well so there's that.
The only conclusion we can draw from all this is that Agassi is probably not the man he pretends to be.
He's obviously........

Why is ufc 299 more stacked then 300? Oh yea I think I know why there’s a better fight on that date they trying to steal buys from but it won’t work! UFC 299 will be a flop even if it’s stacked everyone is watching Francis that night they don’t care about some small bantamweight lol!

Everybody is watching Francis one day late? Loluwutmate?
