I don't mind booing, what I find a bit more offputting at times is when a Brazilian fighter loses and you can hear a pin drop even if it's by one of the most impressive displays in MMA history on show. I much prefer the Southeast asian polite applause in such scenarios to dead silence.

I'm already pissed with the Brazilian crowd. In fact, I like to root against all Brazilian fighters on a local card just cause they annoy me that much. Ridiculous people.

Looks like the new standard of over 1 min delay on streams again. What can you do.

Dead crowd in Brazil, who could've guessed? Why does the UFC keep going back to this **** hole of a country with fans who assault fighters for beating Brazilians?

It's really a mark of low intelligence to be this tribal about a sport.

@gliese58i 
It's the way Brazilian people look at all athletes in all sports, they don't want performances they want sucess. They don't cheer for you they cheer the flag. If you win you are a god if you lose you are embarrassing to look at. Moicano spoke about it before in the cage after winning a fight. Americans respect their athletes more. 

Not all brazilian fans are like that but the majority are.

Borjas is really sneaky with that knee. He was using that well against Van too. Hopefully he puts the local boy to sleep.
