Or adesanya for that matter.Who the hell is beating Ngannou?

You're sayin' Marcin Tybura will get the job done?
China and India are poor sporting nations, that doesn’t change the fact that population size negatively weighs on your ability to excel in a per capita basis in the Olympics. What are you even talking about?You’re clearly a bit special so I’ll keep it simple. You’re wrong. The two countries with the biggest populations in the world are not mid-tier on a per capita basis.
And just lol at the notion of being a hater for pointing out that the US isn’t particularly special or unique in terms of efficiency of producing high calibre athletes <45>
Bizarre to throw a hissy fit against a factual statement simply because it paints your country in a light that’s not quite ‘we’re the best at everything and everyone is jealous of us’.
Stipe couldn't get Ngannou down in the rematch for two reasons.
1) Ngannou didn't bum rush and waste his energy.
2) His takedown defense and overall wrestling improved. Not only did he sprawl beautifully, he was confident enough to try taking Stipe's back in order to unleash ground and pound.
I saw no evidence that Ngannou was tired in the 2nd round of their rematch btw. He wasn't labored or breathing heavy he seemed fine. I'd also like to see Blaydes and Jones face each other since we're on the topic of wrestling.

You’re a hater because your argument in this thread literally started with the US supposedly only winning in sports that no one cares about and has now devolved into per capita arguments (that are flawed) to explain away why in fact the US dominates. What an embarrassing and yet clearly shameless flip-flop.
Like claiming art, innovations or even ancient Egyptian civilizations?? Lol
Nobody like hypocrites
Its on the south side of the Caspian Wall which was historically dominated by Romans, and isn't in Africa. That's Europe.
I was clearly referring to the US with the “mid-tier” part because that’s who you were calling mid-tier. The point being countries with a large population will never be anything more (yes, I should’ve been more specific in anticipation of you being pedantic) than mid-tier in a per capita sense in the Olympics because population actually works against you. Hilarious how you want to talk about reading comprehension and then sit here and act like you didn’t understand that very basic point. Clearly my argument was not that China and India are anywhere near quality sporting nations. Another act of pure shamelessness on your part to try to score a point since your original argument fell apart immediately.Your reading comprehension and argumentative ability is genuinely terrible, man.
You literally stated “any county with a large population is always going to be “mid-tier” on a per capita basis in the Olympics”. That is simply not true, as I’ve clearly demonstrated. Don’t be a shitebag - just own it. Your statement is factually incorrect.
My original comment, which you seem to have picked up on and changed entirely, was “The US aren’t a bad sporting nation, but definitely specialise in sports that no one else is really bothered about.” Again that is absolutely, factually correct. You’re not bad a bad sporting nation, but you’re most dominant playing sports that are largely confined to the US itself. You’re pretty good at athletics but every so often someone will beat you on the track. Nobody will ever beat you at American football however.
In truly embarrassing fashion you’ve jumped on my comment like a mad tank I capable of looking at anything without a red, white abs blue lens and accused me of being ‘hater’ for simply pointing out that you’re not some sort of uniquely outstanding sporting nation <45>
It’s bizarre really. I’ve never seen anyone from any other nation get so uppity about a couple of statements that are very blatantly factually correct.
The actual Nigerian representative in his weightclass in the London Olympics, Andrew Dick, was close to a shot for the bronze medal through the repechage bouts but had to withdraw from the competition because of a serious injury.How did “Da bess wrestler in MMA!” do in the Olympics anyway?? I missed it
This is the internet dude, don’t come at me with an olive branch. We’re e-jousting to the deathActually @Selukrid612 no offence meant. Had a long day which can lead me to being a bit of a dick on here at times, so apologies for the name calling. I’m dealing with very specific terms, basically.
Have a good one.
The bottom line remains - the US is relatively mid tier in terms of being efficient at producing high calibre athletes. That’s really all there is to it.
If you want, but then you assume the correlation should be linear. It's speculation at this point.
Anyway, since there's an obesity problem in the US, you might be right anyway.

How is it a fact that we only specialize in sports that no one cares about when we dominate the Olympics? Again, you’re flip-flopping here. One second you say that, the next you concede and resort to flawed per capita arguments. The US can both dominate sports that no one else plays and dominate other sports that other countries do play, they’re not mutually exclusive.
That’s because Western European countries are superior and majority of people can earn better a wages without having to fight.This, let's be specific. Western Europeans can't fight
I am right. But isn’t anything to be ashamed about.
