Can’t help but notice that despite being born in Yuma, AZ and fighting out of San Jose, CA, they list him with the Mexican flag as if he is a mexican national. I realize it’s an obvious marketing strategy to try to grow the Mexican fan base and i believe it started during the lesnar fight. Does anyone know at what point they switched his flag graphic on the tale of the tape?
Ah, yes. Cain “The Fake Mexican”. The threads on this used to be hilarious.

It’s a legitimate question about the tale of the tape that has a definitive answer. Pretty basic stuff. Wondering if anyone knows...
That's cultural appropriation Senior. Velasquez, if that is your real name.
I'm probably more Mexican than him.
Wasn’t his dad an illegal? I think they at least implied that on one of his pre fight shows when he was champ.

It was during the lead up to the Brock fight. But the question is when did the UFC change the tale of the tape in order to be in line with the Mexican marketing strategy? I don’t think they had him showing under the Mexican flag during the minatauro fight, but I could be wrong
Pocho Velasquez
It was a US flag for Nog fight:
I think it might have been the first JDS fight actually
What real Mexican rejects US citizenship?
I’m sure the people of Mexico are thrilled after he showed their trademark fighting spirit last night in that war. Or how he defended his home country’s capital against Werdum…

Cain himself said it. Didn’t use the word ‘illegal’ but told the story of his dad coming to America illegally.
Also told the story of his mum making fun of him because he has a brown pride tattoo but can’t speak anything but English.

It’s even weirder that Brock Lesnar changed to the Canadian Flag.

That was one of the strangest things ever. Even stranger was: when I made a thread about it, people on the UG got mad at me for bringing it up.

They both spoke the language of relentless cardio
Maybe Cain is an anchor baby and Dana pays him under table
