Erm.
His last 6 fights includes Brock Lesnar. Oh there's many examples, Chris Weidman having two solid victories over Anderson Silva, just one of many. Not sure what you mean by "the worlds best fighters" but obvious troll is obvious.

Could you explain to me why Brazilians currently hold 2 UFC belts, Russians hold none, and Americans hold 6 UFC belts? Just curious since it's a fact.

There are three legitimate arguments for best fighter of all time in MMA. One of them is Brazilian. The other is that Russian guy right up there. And then there's GSP.

Your original question is ignorant in the assumption that Brazilian fighters are the best fighters in the world. I've given you a clear example of how they're not by stating the facts on current UFC champs. There is zero benefit you can attribute to a fighter because of their home country. That's ******* stupid.
@Sreimuth Bones has a little more to do in my opinion before he enters that argument. Not a lot though. If he keeps the belt after rematching Gus I'd bump him into the discussion.

I'm going to go out of my way to explain to you why you're wrong because I'm bored. I'm going to paste every divisions top 10 according to the official UFC rankings along with their home country. I know they're ******* stupid, and include things like not having Nate Diaz in them, but they're official, so whatever.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was a more important invention than the light bulb or telephone. Brazil #1

Something that I find interesting about those numbers is that the so called Russian invasion has only produced 3 (and I'm being kind with Siver) top 10 fighters. That's a pretty weak invasion.

I think the invasion's still in its infancy ... also, the invasion is mainly to the middle to top of the pack, not the higher echelon, that usually comes later (if at all). I wouldn't call it weak, but then I wouldn't call it an invasion either :)
Also, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn't an invention either, it's a variation of Jiu Jitzu (hence the need for the "Brazilan" prefix) which is actually Japanese :)

Einstein can figure out E=MC squared, he can sure as **** figure out how to escape some Brazilians chokehold.

You're right, I always thought mayday was Canadian for some reason. Carmont at Tristar messed me up. So, 61 Americans.
