Latin American countries and their people are known for their "machismo" but Mexico more so than any other. Mexicans have a reputation for being hard and tough fighters because of the history of the country and what it has gone through.
You should read Octavio Paz or check Mexican artists like Frida Calo. They are very morbid and so is Mexican culture. Mexicans tend to celebrate death, embrace it, it's just the way it's always been. From the time of the Aztecs and Mayas to now.
If you are a tough and rough fighter, you get nicknamed a Mexican, like Ricky Hatton is the "Manchester Mexican" or you fight you are in a "Mexican Standoff".
It's cultural.
