Roger Huerta was being shoved down our throats before he started losing and his Mexican heritage was everywhere especially since he wanted to have a fight card in Mexico. They go overseas all the time so I just don't see the nationalistic racism especially since Brazillians are the most common most exciting fighters at the elite level.
It all comes down to the fans and giving them their money's worth. If their exciting the UFC will give them a shot. UFC was trying forever to get Fedor, it's not that they didn't want him because he didn't fit "the model" it's not their fault they didn't sign him it's Fedor. Not because he don't want to fight there because he keep that ****ty ass M-1 company around him who won't let him fight anywhere unless they can "co-promote." And if you were the UFC why the hell would you want to co-promote with some 3rd rate company?
I'm sure like Kaps said the UFC will make a run for Overreem someday but right now he's in enemy territory so of course he's going to talk ****. BUt if he ever signed him it'd be the complete opposite. We'll start hearing the truth like "Allistair was taking it to Chuck before he gassed because he was draining himself. He's one of the best heavyweights in the world...blah blah blah".
