"Arabs suck at sports" stfu mateThe Middle-East is a huge area with a lot of diversity in culture and sports. As a general rule of thumb, Arabs suck at sports, including the martial arts, they're kind of like Indians in that regard. Turkey and Iran have a culture of wrestling, and especially in Iran wrestling is absolutely huge (they also have by far the best, most enthusiastic crowds when it comes to wrestling tournaments). If you extend the Middle-East to include North-Africa, then Moroccans and to a lesser extent Algerians and Tunisians are good at kickboxing and kickboxing is popular there, mostly because of Moroccan diaspora living in the Netherlands like Badr Hari becoming stars in Morocco too.
The Middle-East has one thing going for it and that's diaspora. Lots of the diaspora from countries like Morocco, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey etc. who live in Europe nowadays practice martial arts, and they're a bunch of fighters from that region fighting out of European countries. Just enter a random MMA gym, wrestling gym, kickboxing gym in countries like Germany, Holland, Sweden, etc. and I can guarantee you, the majority of the people there will be Middle-Easterners, Africans and Eastern Europeans. Justbleedism is intertwined with the immigrant mentality.

Wrestling is popular in Iran but I'm not sire about the other places. I know Kickboxing is huge in Morocco.Wrestling is not popular in the middle east. Soccer is the only sport that is.

Outside of Iraq, none of those countries are the "middle East"Wrestling is popular only in some Middle Eastern areas, Iran is the big one. Central Asia like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan its big too and Turkey I believe.
Im referring more to the individual talents like Moe Salah and the many other famous Arab/Middle Eastern players in European Leagues.They are pretty terrible at football. Nowhere near South-American and Western-European teams.
So you can't even name one sport.
Im in California.Your in Afghanistan?

Arabs dont suck at sports but like you said they dont really care much for sports in their home countries as opposed to ones who live in the west who in turn become succesfull like prince naseem for example, if he had lived in Yemen instead of the UK he'd probably be a militant or some shitThe Middle-East is a huge area with a lot of diversity in culture and sports.

Where are you from by the way?A handful of individual talents out of a talent pool of a few hundred million. Zero good national teams. That's not "being good at a sport". Arabs in general, suck at sports. Arab nations have some of the highest obesity rates in the world, they universally perform terribly at the Olympics, and they have a handful of great athletes out of a population of hundreds of millions. It's understandable, the climate isn't exactly conducive to playing sports.
