There once was a time when the majority of champions hailed from Brazil but now we only have one left. Rafael dos anjos.
We've got:
1- Poland, Ireland, Brazil
7- USA
Glad to see Americans are dominating the sport now. Something a few years ago was unheard of. Love seeing how things change over time.
I like it when people pretend like American fans AREN'T nationalistic and AREN'T as obnoxious as other nationalistic fanbases.
Dr Schopenhauer - Brazilian mma is dead. No other country has the work ethic of the Americans. If the real American athletes start getting involved in mma then we will rarely ever see a fighter from another country hold a belt.
Not sure it has to do with our work ethic as much as it has to do with america having the best available training. I could see one of the russians becoming champion soon too, they seem to be putting it all together

Interesting stat... Yes, I thought Brazil would stay on top of the UFC food chain for longer too. However, they're right near the top and it wouldn't totally Surprise me to see them back as champions in the near future...
JDS
Jacare
Aldo
Cyborg

If all champions are American does the popularity of the sport go up or down in other regions?
All respect to fellow americans but ufc cant stay for american champs , they need diversification.
