    Mexicans are killing it not just boxing but MMA!!

    Garcia, Rezindis and Fig were all impressive in fights that they were either underdogs or even fights. No gimmies at all.

    3 Mexicans have won ufc titles back to back to back. Moreno in January in the opponents hometown of Brazil, Rodriquez in February and just last night Grasso upsetting one of the greatest female mma fighters ever in Shevchenko.

    That country is producing champs on a weekly basis.

    Pretty damn impressive.

        Bro, you are supposed to be proud when your people win. La Mexicana was bad ass with the tap out. It's just hard to cheer for Jon Jones, he's arrogant as ***.

            Mexican Americans were also active in Mixed Martial Arts, no? Frank Shamrock, Tony Ferguson, Henry Cejudo, Cain Velasquez, Nate Brothers, Pettis Brothers, Justin Gathje, Carlos Condit, Diego Sanchez, Dominick Cruz, Brian Ortega, Joseph Benavidez and etc.

            Currently a big fan of the Texan, Adrian Yanez.

            Mexico has been producing good talent this latest decade, the country now even has multiple MMA networks to promote young talent and the UFC will build an PI in Mexico City.

            You know what's interesting though, despite that Brandon (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), Yair (Taekwando) and Alexa (Kickboxing) are specialized in different backgrounds, their improved stand up mostly in boxing is what got them in the title contention.

              What about the African chicken Roy Jones, James Toney, Floyd Mayweather, jerrel Miller and Shane Mosley used?

              Or the English fish sticks Fury and Saunders used?

                I agree Adrian Yanez is champ material.
