    blax should be african/african american fighters, not people who look blak.

    What a ****** remark. They are of African decent, therefore they are black. Last time I checked, Puerto Ricans aren't considered a race. They're natives of Puerto Rico. To say that only blacks should be African American is utterly ignorant. You must have been asleep during history class.

      its funny you say Puerto Rican is a race when it isn't thats like saying all Americans are one race if you really look at it Most dark Puerto Ricans are black and you have black Brazilians that are classified as Brazilians just like the Dominican Republic.......all these names like hispanic and **** like that was a classification by a white male that you guys just happen to play along with.........maybe if people read more you would know history i know my history i know that Puerto Rico, Cuba ,Brazil,Dominican Republic all have African origins but some people are to blind to face it.....its just like i laugh when i hear Mexicans calling themselves Aztecs and **** like that but not knowing that most Aztec tribes were Black and indian.........so i guess i can run around saying i'm an aztec warrior....and since you guys say you'll aztecs i guess the Puerto Ricans can say they are Mayan warriors huh ? bull**** read your history don't just fall in line

      But hey if the sun don't shine then the sun don't shine

          Thank you! Puerto Rican is not a race. American is not a race.

            It's the law of averages.
            I agree, I've actually said that before too. The more athletes of a certain race you have competing in a given sport, the more successful athletes of that particular race you will have in that particular sport. On the other hand, white fighters do seem to fight much differently than black fighters on the average...

              There was a time when Jeremy Shockey was in the news and the papers, but his time has passed. Nobody will talk about him unless he does something that someone feels is worth talking about. Same with T.O. What about that idiot baseball player that made those racist comments, and then tried to take them back? (Can't remember his name, hate baseball) anyway, nobody talks about him anymore, but they will if he opens his trap again. I hate T.O too, but it's because he tried to show off by posing on our star. THAT'S NOT COOL MAN, NOT COOL! lol

                    I swear you have some haters on TO. He's never been arrested nor ****d anyone (Kobe Bryant) or punched a camera man out (Rogers on the Texas Rangers) and the hate people have for him surpasses all other athletes.

                    I'm wondering whats the real reason people hate him?
