MMA Fighting Sterotypes

Big white American guy with good physique = a lay and pray wrestler (Ryan Bader)

Tubby white fighter with tribal tattoos = garbage brawler who fights on UFN undercards

Brazilian guy = automatically better than any American fighter (Anderson Silva)

Black fighter = athletic and explosive (Rashad Evans)

Dutch fighter = "K-1 level" striking but zero sub defense

Asian fighter = undersized due to a lack of weight cutting; will fail in America (pretty much true for all Asian fighters)

British fighter = overrated can brought over to expand UFC market overseas
