    i dont mean this in a distasteful manner in any way shape or form,but one thing that irks me slightly is this 'mma is for white boys' myth,it is complete nonsense in fact the demographic is fairly akin to boxing now and pretty much always has been,there have been great non white fighters since the sports inception i.e maurice smith,antonio noguiera,randleman,sakuraba etc to fighters we have today like anderson,evans,lawal and penn..

    maybe people are confusing the fan demographic with fighter demographic,i could be wrong anyway just wanted to raise the issue

    yves edwards,mark weir and gilbert yvel are fighters i enjoyed watching,to name a few...

    I dont recall hearing anything about mma being for white people. I do remember people accusing some of the whites of looking like skinheads though.

    That would be resident boxing shithead Bob Arum who accused MMA of being for nazi skinheads. The same Arum who was blowing the UFC only a few months earlier for ensuring that their heavyweights were always in shape and putting them over for being properly run.

    Bob Arum is Don King without the hair and 10x the sleaze.

    A fella from my gym Binky Jones but im biased there so besides him I dont know I almost feel racist saying this but I cant think of any black fighter in the big leagues that I really like.

    are we are being pedantic about colour or is 'black' a certain kind of mojo? bill gates is actually descended from an ancient botswanan tribe called mumbutu loadsamoney computongo mogulogul.
