Chimonos Revenge -Tim Boetsch or Marcus Davis
honorable mention Tim Sylvia

Sage Northcutt - Texas
How TF is Texas an IDK?
Alaska, Cannonier is the best mma fighter to ever come from here. #2 would probably be Julio Paulino, followed Justin Buchholz, Andy Enz, and Nic Herron-Webb.
Chimonos Revenge -Lol @ the multiple time ufc champion being the honorable mention to a couple guys with .500 ufc records.Tim Boetsch or Marcus Davis
honorable mention Tim Sylvia
HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe -Chimonos Revenge -Lol @ the multiple time ufc champion being the honorable mention to a couple guys with .500 ufc records.Tim Boetsch or Marcus Davis

Stuart Scott's Eyeball - How TF is Texas an IDK?

Benevidez for new Mexico? Hardly. Holly Holm, Carlos
Condit, and John Dodson. I count Ray Borg and Tim Means since they only came up fighting in NM
JAG was born in Mexico.
Lauren Murphy is from Alaska btw, but I'm fine if Jared Cannonier is ranked ahead of her.
Btw, you forgot D.C. Kirik, but since Mike Easton and Christian Morecraft are both retired, I have no idea who'd represent my place of birth.
