I know Jones got like 7 mil for his win over Gane.
Hill got 392k
Edwards got a mil for his last win
Izzy won 3 mil for his last one.
I aint sure about Sterling though.

TBF, I saw some pictures of him with his hair grown out and he definitely has some African ancestry...I'll allow Benson Henderson but Jose Aldo is black?
Cause he's Brazilian. They call people like him "pardo" basically multi-ethnic, but they make a distinction between pardos and black people in Brazil.
yeah I am actually genuinely curious if people in brazil consider him black or not. i know they some heavy
population over there and he doesn't really look like one of those white Brazilians like Jair Bolsonaroand there is my answer lol

Love is a long road.
Those maga cacs probably having a meltdown over at sherdog right now.
Yeah I saw him with the ceaser he's Afro Brazilian.

Were there 7 belts or 8 at that time? Because the thread title says MAJORITY.
Cormier never had the belt at the same time
Anderson is the only Brazilian I ever heard refer to himself as black so I wouldn't put Aldo on the list. Also I wouldn't even put Ben Henderson on that list either because he never identifies as a black man.

Let's take a 10,000 foot view of this. UFC is owned by White people
Nothing against the Black competitors at all. It's great to celebrate, but this is low hanging fruit. Would be more of a success if a Black owned Combat Sports League reached a $Billion in net worth just like the UFC

I remember when they had fits when Joe Rogan said that black people are going to dominate once they start fighting MMA.

The flyweight division is the newest one added for the men. So when DJ was champ, there were 8 belts.

You gotta start somewhere, breh. So it's an accomplishment. We acknowledge it as such. None of us are acting like it's the mountaintop.
