All Diego’s fights have been 10x more exciting than evloevs + Diego has a bigger fan base. He’s already worthy of a higher ranking/title shot before movsar

Wrong. The UFC believes there's more profit lately in the middle-east. Specifically UAE and Saudi money.
@aboodthebest7726 2 күн бұрын
@wideopenthrottl I agree with you. Even if diego has a larger fanbase. Movsar is a Muslim fighter. The Middle East has his back with the abu Dhabi and the saudi cards. Money talks

He trains Alexa,lives in Mexico,speaks spanish,holds Mexican citizenship as well,made his career before the UFC in Mexico.I say he is more Mexican than Brian.On top of that he also has fans from Brasil.

@@nolimitjat actually both of them. Took it on short notice. It was bryce mitchell vs Jonathan Pearce. Pearce pulled out so movsar stepped in just for mitchell to pull out that's when diego came in .

I think Americans relate to him because he looks white and until he talks you would think he was a white American male. That’s what I think anyway cause that’s what I thought when I first seen him. Plus, he can fight. I seen him live at UFC fight night in Nashville. I had nearly ring side seats. Fun to watch live.
