    Why aren't there really... any hispanic fighters at a top level? The only one that comes to mind is Cain and he could possibly be a flash in a pan. So why are there so many high level mexican boxers but none in MMA? :think

    They are all in Mexico training boxing, and not MMA...

    Jokes aside, Diaz brothers, Condit , Dominick Cruz, Diego Sanchez, Tito Ortiz, Miguel Torres, Frank Shamrock, Glibert Melendez...

    Mexico is well represented fella

    Are there any prominent straight up Mexican fighters? There are a lot of Mexican-Americans, but are there any that were actually born in Mexico?

    wrestling is not a big sport in mexico, and they dont really have many other combot sports other then boxing.

    It really is because all the Mexicans are boxing instead, I doubt it will ever catch on places like Mexico and Puerto Rico

    Imagine the fun if some Lucha Libre wrestlers decide to try their hand in the cage though

    Losing to War Machine in an unknown promotion has set him back quite a bit.

    Why did he take that fight? War Machine is a Welter and Roger is a tiny lightweight! What a silly man :verysad
