Why do people think white fighters go to ufc?

Question

ive heard the reasoning that whites cant cut it in boxing... lol.

they own the heavyweight division. The light heavy weight division. And the middle weight division. The smaller weight

classes are dominated by hispanics. I think media doesnt like big russian fighters like the klitschkos. vladamir has more k.o.s than lennox lewis had fights!! bottom line... whoever is most hungry wins most combat sports, just happens to be eastern europeans today. Maybe asians nextday.

Answer 1

Caucasians are dominantly in the ufc because it is easier for wrestler to learn jiu jit su (both involve grappling technique) and most collegiate wrestler are white. In boxing white boxer has a slight advantage. Caucasian skin are thinner (this is a fact) easier to cut, they still can win but at a greater risk.

Answer 2

I think its because they are more apt to exotic and intricate movements, also because theres the option to kick, which is what they like to do, they like leg movment (biking, skateboarding,tripping people ect.)

Answer 3

Because I have a pretty face and unless I'm a godly boxer who knows how to evade and can knock the opponents fast, Boxing is going to s***w it up way more than MMA will?

Answer 4

I couldn't possibly know with any degree of certainty but I have always suspected that white fighters gravitate towards the UFC because of its "extremity" factor.  Many white athletes are into snowboarding, BMX, skating down rails, and extreme individual sports like that.  UFC is the violent arm of these individual activities.

Black fighters are becoming rarer.  Why?  Because now we can get jobs and go school pretty much the same as our white brothers.  Therefore, other means to generate income besides having your brains turned to mush are readily available.

The best black athletes are highly concentrated in the NBA and NFL.  The odds of striking gold in those venues are so much better than in boxing.  Very few boxers make any money in the sport.  I once read somewhere that the average boxer makes about $100.00 per fight.  That's not a lot.

That said, I do not believe that color or culture has as much to do with success in UCF or boxing as much as desire and discipline.

Answer 5

because there is alot of white fighters out there.. i am not being racist by the way.. there is also numerous asian fighters who is interested in mma and look at organizations like pride fc, there is numerous asian fighters out there who is really gifted athelete. but ufc doesn't take them to their organization, i don't know why..

Answer 6

My favorite is a guy named cabbage carerra.  When he wins, he does the cabbage patch dance, very popular on the dance floors in junior high gymnasium floors all throughout the middle and late 80s.  Good stuff.
