Problems adapting to the cage.
Travel (according to Phil Baroni, it's harder to go from Japan to the US than it is to go from the US to Japan).

that fighter who beat daley looked pretty good and i hate to say it but biased judging. quite a few asians have been screwed over by judges.

hioki is 2-0 in the ufc so lets see how many wins he gets. they do need to practice in an octagon thats for sure.

Personally, I've traveled to the Eastern hemisphere before and I know jet lag hit harder when I went from there back here. That's what happened to me personally, I don't know if it's different for others or not.

And you forgot about Nam Phan.
EDIT: When we say Asian fighters, we mean Mongoloids. Not people of the continent of Asia.

trying to come up with a counter-argument based on world history and geopolitical oddities is a waste of time... because, again, nobody considers shalorus and gamburyan to be asian fighters.
