Dalakian is ethnic Armenian. Calling him Azerbaijan born is misleading.

Haven't seen Jimenez, will have to youtube him. Sounds like a good fight. Would be great if we did a get a 4 champ tournament at flyweight.

He was born in Azerbaijan and lived there until his family fled to Ukraine. I don't get what is misleading about it. I didn't say he was Azerbaijani.

I'm expecting Sunny Edwards to be ringside sounding out the winner!

Sure it is factually correct. Only Azerbaijan killed 200 Armenians and shelled Armenian cities as recently as 3 months ago. Under these circumstances, to call an Armenian Azerbaijan born without clarification is a bit like calling a Jewish person German-born right after WW2.
