Is there a reason for this Brazilian theme? Why isn't this event in Brazil?

 

[Koala]

At some point, I thought Warley Alves will become WW champ

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It's a weird card overall.

Some decent matchups for a freebie, but 4 WMMA matches is a bit overkill for my tastes.

 

[blkmike817]

Somebody gotta fight might as well be some Brazilians

 

[oski]

Cuz Brazilians kick ass! But the 4 girl things is wayyyy over-the-top.

4 too many?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Nearly 20% of the roster is Brazilian, you're always going to get cards with a lot of them on.

 

[Danespina]

Why isn't this event in Brazil?

We were just there for a PPV.

There's lots of Brazilians on the roster so sometimes it just ends up that way.

 

[tornado362]

Is Harris not from Guyana? Just fights out of Brazil

But yeah a large percentage of the roster are Brazilian, this is just the normal amount of Brazilians

Carlston Harris isn't from Brazil.

If he's from Brazil, then a guy like Darren Till is from Brazil.

 

[markys00]

Carlston Harris isn't from Brazil.

If he's from Brazil, then a guy like Darren Till is from Brazil.

That's not a good comparison. Does Darren till live in Brazil? Is his country of origin close to Brazil? No! Bad comparison

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

They should build an Apex in Brazil

Why do people ask questions like this? Arent there a thousand threads about how shitty Brazil is for shows, how the fans are terrible, etc? The only reason the UFC has shows in brazil is because Dana white is a greedy fucking piece of shit.

Yes. Darren Till lived in Brazil at the time he made his UFC debut. He speaks fluent Portuguese.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Not like the UFC was started by the Brazilian Gracies or anything...

 

[TadDunbar]

Card looks rough on paper

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Any amount of Brazilians is too many

Khaos Williams vs. Carlston Harris

I thought harris was guyanese like me

 

[Psychojoe86]

There are lots of Brazilian ufc fighters

 

[Fergelmince]

are you sure this isn't an Invicta card? This event may set a record for all time low viewership.
