Mansions Dave dissects Translator assisted Pressers in the UFC

The most translator dependant contingents in the UFC based on the overall roster

Brazil

Russia

Mexico

China

Japan

The most translator dependant contingents within the UFC based on dependency within the contingent

Mongolia --> 100% of Fighters require Translators

Kazakhstan --> 95% of Fighters require Translators

Kyrgyzstan --> 90% of Fighters require Translators

China --> 85% of Fighters require Translators

Japan --> 80% of Fighters require Translators

With the facts up let's look at the key takeaways, unsurprisingly China and Japan are on both lists

East Asia has historically had the worst English Proficiency in the world despite being the second richest subcontinent in the world, contributing to that historically bad English proficiency to East Asia are Mongolia who top the second list

West Asia are ironically the second poorest Subcontinent in the world on the basis of English proficiency and that gets represented here on the second list as well, in fact the second list is just East Asia and West Asia

So take a look at Brazil, Russia and China, they top the first list but they're not even on the second list

I think we've all gotten used to the sight of Brazilians, Russians and Mexicans on the UFC requiring Translators but that's by sheer volume, as you can see by the data they don't crack that second list

The reason we've seen far more Brazilian, Russian and Mexican Translator assisted pressers is because all three of those Countries are in the top five contingents in the UFC on the metric of presence in the overall roster

In fact here's the data, don't just take my word for it

The most populous contingents in the UFC

United States --> 50% of the roster is American

Brazil --> 25% of the roster is Brazilian

Russia --> 10% of the roster is Russian

Canada --> 6% of the roster is Canadian

Mexico --> 4% of the roster is Mexican

That remaining 5% is literally the rest of the world when the context is the UFC, this makes China's and Japan's utter failure; making both lists; all the more remarkable
