Nogueira's Conspiracy Theory: MMA Judges Are Biased Against Brazilians

[Mitchell C]

I bet the judges are gay, that's what it is.

Let me paraphrase Big Nog's argument: "I wish I was back in Pride."

[J Grooms]

"My arm was broken by an american, and I'm sour about it."

[Cody Kietzman]

LOL.


I enjoy watching the Brazilian style of fighting better, but I don't think the lack of Brazilian fighters is from racism like Nog might think. I hate to break it to him, but as of right now, they're a liability. The language barrier is a problem. Some of them have criminal records/warrants (Falcao), and the cost of constantly flying them out. Things might change with TUF going to Brazil though. They have been recruiting some good guys lately though. Diego Brandao. Do Bronx. Barboza. Renan Barao.

The more I think about it, the more I think Nog is trippin.

Thats kinda what i was getting at when i asked if the UFC paid to fly these guys around. It always boils down to money.

[RAMOS]

Nah, I don't think the UFC hates Brazil. Now that I think about it, they have a new TUF show out there and recently had HUGE ratings and another HUGE event in Brazil with one of the most electric events ever. I don't think the UFC hates Brazilian fighters at all. And as time goes on, I'm sure the UFC will add a lot more Brazilian fighters after this TUF Brazil helps some guys rise to the top.

i agree totally

Yeah when you said that, it totally made sense to me. So yeah man, Nog is reaching here. It's just a money thing. But like I said, with TUF Brazil, I expect the number to grow.

How does he figure MMA is growing in Brazil? The UFC was started by the Gracie's lol. Vale Tudo......I don't know did I miss something?
