Tito Ortiz was the first true superstar of the sport. Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Matt Hughes were all Caucasian-Americans who ruled in the mid 2000's but it's not like others haven't.
Lots and lots of non-White/non-Americans have been stars & champs in MMA; Kazushi Sakuraba, Minotauro Nogueira, Fedor Emelianenko, Takanori Gomi, BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, Shogun Rua, Rampage Jackson, GSP, Jose Aldo, Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones... on and on... were non-White Americans
The MMA GOAT -- There are only 3 or 4 fighters that have a claim for being the GOAT in MMA and none of them are Caucasian-Americans...
- Anderson Silva = Afro-Brazilian
- Fedor Emelianenko = Ukrainian/Russian
- Georges St Pierre = French-Canadian
- Jon Jones = Afro-American
