My grandfather immigrated through Ellis island from Sicily, they did not go on about Italy, they were AMERICAN.  The country they left, was no longer their country. They came to America for the opportunities She offered, opportunities offered no where else in the world. Now, being Italian in the south, well, let's just say, the "whites" surely never let you forget where you came from, I had to listen to racial slurs as a kid  growing up in the early 60's. I just think it's a little insulting to wear a mouthpiece with the Mexican flag on it when all the accomplishments Cain has earned was while living as an American citizen. All this pseudo hyphenated American crap does nothing but separate and divide different groups of AMERICANS when we should all be pulling together as AMERICANS.  I take nothing away from Cain as a fighter, he is a training, fighting machine. He may even over train, I don't know, but he does get injured allot. I think the fight will be closer than some folks think. Last weeks fights from New Orleans were pretty spectacular, I think only 2 out of 12 went the distance.
