Why is MMA turning so gay

Izzy is so obtuse, its very childish and unprofessional, he truly embarrassed himself. I'm a Black South African and I can fully confirm that DDP is considered an African here, he lives in Pretoria, promotes an African gym and is trying to uplift African MMA, the others just come here for 2 weeks to parade the belts to poor kids and immediately leave (showing us that success is found outside Africa) while DDP chooses to build up African MMA. Izzy is fighting a losing battle, South Africa is very different compared to America and Australia etc, when it comes to South African sports, the whole nation supports its athletes regardless of their race, just look at our national rugby team and the full support they have, so if the fight were to happen in South Africa DDP would have the majority of the support, Izzy would be booed out for his gross behaviour. (Also South Africa is very diverse, and most white South Africans are Afrikaans and have lived in the country for centuries, regardless of our country's dificult past, when it comes to sports you best believe South Africans are united) This was never about race, DDP only said that he is African (true, he is Afrikaans) and that he plans to be a true African Champion and actually bring the belt to Africa, not just to parade it around for a while, but as a statement that African MMA has a place in the Global MMA community and that you don't need to leave Africa to participate in the sport, you don't need to be in a western country to get to the UFC, African MMA gyms are just as viable and resourceful. Aslo...wasn't Izzy Kiwi then Chinese? DDP has class and is mature, his representing our country well, Hy verdien die wen, ons is trots met hom!!

In a way, Dricus pays enormous homage to Robert: he's always said he considers it an honor to fight against Rob... and if he's to win against him, then it'd be more like the real championship. Izzy is skilled, too; but like JJ, Izzy has an outlier's physicality over all others. Robert, Dricus and others don't... so when they win, it's due purely to skills and heart, not because they had 5 to 8 inch reach or height advantage, like Izzy and JJ usually do over their opponents.
