NDNs in Sports

[billyjoejimbob]

I saw Smokin's post about Cheechoo and the San Jose Sharks.
I know about Begay the golfer.

What other NDNs are in the sporting world?

MMA

There are a lot of NDNs in Mixed Martial Arts - that is, Ultimate Fighting style competitions, cage fighting, etc.

Frank Shamrock - multiple UFC champ

Andre and Tyrone Roberts - Extreme Challenge champions, Superbrawl champions

Cole Escovedo 'the apache kid' - gladiator challenge champ, World Extreme Cagefighting champ

Superbrawl is full of indigenous folks (if you count Hawaii)

the IFC has the 'North American Native champion' belt

there are a ton of others that I'm forgetting. But we're disproportionately represented in this combat sport, and I think that's pretty cool :-)

Hi guys! Ok, this is like a passion/pastime of mine and I don't think that the fighters get enough recognition for the athletes that they are.

I got some pictures, I'm not sure what the policy on the site for hotlinking is, so if they're too much for you to download, let me know and I'll take them down!

Frank (Juarez) Shamrock:





Andre 'the chief' Roberts:



Tyrone 'the native warrior' Roberts:





Cole Escovedo 'the apache kid':





Fighters who are rumored to be Indian (you be the judge)

Dan Henderson:



Frank Trigg:



Mike Van Arsdale:



(I saw Van Arsdale wearing a 'Denver Indian Centre' sweater before)
