well the only Mexican born fighter i know that´s (not for long) in the UFC is Efrain Escudero, but he was born in another state....so  no one from the big leagues.

There´s a young kid from Tijuana who is wicked good in Muay Thai it´s the LW champion in the UWC, it´s a mexican promotion, yes, mexican, I hope to se him soon in bigger events.

Also there are a few US born Mexicans that i like

1. Cain Velazquez
2. Nick Diaz
3. Diego Sanchez
4. Roger Huerta
5. Nate Diaz

I like that I can tell what state/province each poster is from without anyone actually writing the name of the state.

Here's mine.  I've only had the pleasure of meeting Charlie before, and he's a real nice dude.  I did have the honor of working with Pat Barry's first ever kickboxing coach though, so that was pretty cool.
