Ok, so I wanted to post this right after Bones won the title but I didn't because it seemed too dangerously close to racist, but I heard Eddie touch on it on the Rogan podcast so I figured I'd go for it now.
So to me, it seems that the sport of MMA is going to go the way of football and basketball in that the giant super athletic black man will eventually dominate the sport. I'm not saying that because I'm racist (im not), it's just a fact that black people have the genes and the background to be able to become those super athletes. We saw it in football and basketball, two speed/size/strength centric sports... at first it was mixed whites and blacks, and slowly the black people realized their potential and took over. We see the same thing happening in MMA with the rise of Jon Jones, Phil Davis, Anthony Johnson, Melvin Guillard, Alistair Overeem, Melvin Manhoef, and even Anderson Silva and Rashad Evans to some extent.
Now please do not get me wrong, I am not at all saying this is a bad thing, in fact, I consider it to be a very good thing! It's very simple, it's Darwinism at it's best, Natural Selection, survival of the fittest, they have the ability to become the biggest, fastest, and strongest, and that makes for the most exciting fighter. And when you get two of those super athletes in the octagon at the same time, BOOM... Anthony Johnson vs. Melvin Guillard ...BOOM... Jon Jones vs. Alistair Overeem... BOOM! Super fights with two super athletes! That's the future of MMA. That's what we have to look forward to. Personally, I can't wait! :-D
So what do you guys think? Will MMA get taken over by the super athletic black man, or will they continue to merely be scattered amongst the eclectic competition we have today? I'd love to hear people's opinions on this.
Again, I'll reiterate one last time to be certain I get the point across... I AM NOT RACIST! I do not want this post to be construed as racist. I am merely making an observation and exploring that observation. I love black people and I love what they contribute to sports. Thank you.
