Actually African Americans ar on their way to dominating UFC. I follow the sport closely.
The funny thing is I live in America and culturally Im African American, but its hard to sit back while @Poitier and his ilk try to diminish the accomplishments of my people.
Which is hilarious.
You look at the finals, men's or women's, 100m-400m, you're looking at a cohort of friends. They're a close group across nations.
They've known each other often since minors, they've been on collegiate/relay/camp/training teams with each other, they train under the same coaches, they utilize the same facilities, they share sponsors and sponsorship duties, some of our athletes were born and raised island and some of theirs were born and raised stateside.
Go get that wood gurl. We Jamaican men fukk like no other. He'll be flipping you around like you Rey Mysterio.

When I moved here, I discovered jamaican brehs were fans of fukking w/ fat white jawns for sneakers and a place to live....much like small pockets of AAs fresh out of prison. The ratio is off and nobody should ever complain about country/bamma ass nikkas wifing up white whales ever ever ever again. They're going for the gold...Mexicans used to have that #1 white whale hunter status.

No, but everytime Jamaicans get mentioned or big themselves up you HAVE TO come in a thread and be mad disrespectful.
Everybody reps thier hood, thier city, or wherever there from. Why the fukk would someone feel the need to always go in a groups thread and be disrespectful? Its very weird.

You guys are naming AMERICAN sports (NFL, NBA, MLB) to argue that Jamaicans arent the most athletic. Americans are the only ones who play and watch NFL besides Canada, theres basketball programs in every town in the US, and I'd argue Domincans are the most dominant in MLB (per capita)
Lets talk about WORLDWIDE SPORTS.
Running, Fighting, and Soccer.
(Btw @Lewis Black we're better in Soccer and Cricket so theres two sports right there)
Jamaica got Sprinting on lock. East Africans still wash them in Long Running.
Latinos got Soccer on lock.
Idk shyt about Fighting.

The problem is the 2012 Olympic medal table contradicts your view.

I usually see these discussions as friendly rivalries. Im not about disrespecting anybody.
