UFC allows "luchador mask" at 155
 

I understand wanting to honor heritage, but if that thing moves just a little bit (and blocks his vision), then he's going to be a punching bag.

eeyaaa...i dunno....

seems insincere. I don't believe the UFC is giving in to 'tradition'...they just want mo money!

I will always associate masked fighting with fake wrestling....but I not Mexican!
They have a rich tradition with masks and it has been a part of their culture for some time!

Personally, I think this opens the door for an onslaught of 'national' tradition.

I think Mr White has erred.

Is unclear to me how a Mexican donning a mask makes him ...more(?) Mexican.

what if if Georges St-Pierre wanted to wear a toque?
maybe Chuck Liddell has a case for a yarmulka (sp)?
face paint??

yep. Those are ridiculous....and the door is now open.

True that.
On the other hand there is an advantage in that he has added head protection....albeit a thin layer of leather.

all madness. People want to come here to live, work...whatever. Why is it that we have to change everything that were the very reasons they all cam e? It makes little if any sense to me. Enough accommodating foreigners. Everything we buy today costs more due to accommodating these people. Take a look in a Lowes or Home Depot....look at all the additional signs they had to make in spanish....times the amount of stores they have =MILLIONS of $$$$$$$$$$

ENOUGH!

k...agree with what your saying....settle down, lol

In this case, corporate MMA stands to profit more than lose.
However, they have invited the integrity of their sport to be trod upon.

:rotfl: @settle down....:rotfl:

I'm quite calm about it actually.....mainly because it will be what it will be. Tradition is meaningless anymore beast. It is the "me" mindset...and the almighty dollar rules forever.

My apologies, I guess it was just during the introduction and the weigh-ins. He didn't actually fight with it.
