Iranians in MMA

[Tehranto]

Mousasi interview in Farsi - seems like a nice guy. He says his message to his Iranian fans is "I am glad my countrymen, God-willing, I have a good match." I've tweeted at him before and liked it when I said Iranian fans support him and we are proud of him.

It's one thing to rep your ethnicity, fine. I'm Canadian (been here most of my life) but 100% I would rep my ethnicity of Iran.

But what irks me is that on the fight card, Amirkhani said he is from Kermanshah, KURDISTAN. At least our Christian-Iranian fighters, Beniel Dariush and Gegard Mousasi say they were born there.

I think Amirkhani's dad even died in the Iran-Iraq war. His family fought for Iran and he can't even say he's born there. Scum.

Honestly, nothing pisses me off more than seperatism and now I'm seeing that Kurdish seperatism is probably the worst.

I know man I agree it's ridiculous therefore we don't need to support "Mr. Finland" the proud fighter from Kurdistan. He can screw off.

And Mousasi is a interesting person. He puts himself as coming from Iran, has the Dutch emblem on his sleeve and holds (if I'm not mistaken) the Republic of Armenias flag. So yeah he's not much different.

And Dariush proudly portrays the Assyrian flag & American flag and called him self Assyrian American.

There was also Akira Corrasani who changed his name and only considered himself Swedish he's retired now.


I don't get these guys it's illogical what they're doing. That's like me walking out with a maple leaf on my sleeve, and waving the republic of Azerbaijanis flag. Wtf? But doesn't matter whoever doesn't want to consider themselves Iranian won't get our support

[ilovefootball]

What do you idiots expect from a bunch of high school drop out thugs? To have a sense of history and culture or be patriotic about the great nation of Mullahs?

[Tehranto]

I've never met an Iranian Kurd who was a separatist. Apparently, they are much more in Europe.

Khaak to sareshoon.

Don't let it bug you too much. Wait till Amir Aliakbari makes his UFC debut, he is will do us proud.

For real tho this dude is a tank and a gold medal wrestler for IRAN, I would hate to stand on the opposite side of the ring against him lol

He's having a hard time finding fights. But he will fight soon - he's 2-0 so far:

Amir Aliakbari (2-0) fights Christian Colombo (8-1) on March 12th at Real FC 4 in Tokyo

unrelated to Iroonis but what do you guys think of tomorrow's fight? McGregor vs. Nick Diaz

i think Nick will get his ass beat. McGregor is too good for him. I've actually seen Nick at a pool party in vegas, he was right next to me and he's a skinny dude honestly, if you see him you dont think he's a pro fighter. But aside from that, i know looks are nothing, but I think McGregor will finish him.

[Babak agha]

It's his lil brother Nate right, not nick.
I also think Conor will win, it might even be a mismatch.

Any links for the fight ?

DAMN DIAZ!!

[Tehranto]

"Siyar Bahadurzada repped Afghanistan tonight. He is Afghani and waved his country flag proudly. While we have pussy sellouts like Makwan Amirkhani who say they are from Kurdistan, Gegard who says he is Armenian and Dariush who doesn't walk out with an Iranian flag.

Pussies and bitches

[Farhad-7]

DAMN DIAZ!!

i know nate and nick are tough af but even then i wouldn't think it would end like this. he really turned it up against conor.

[Tehranto]

Nick's huge reach advantage, height and boxing and masterful jui-jitsu was too much for Conor. He went up 25 pounds from 145 to fight Nick. Kudos to him for trying.
