    Silva has 7 million Twitter followers, but a study found most of them were fake.

    They don't need to. They are already the Kings of the most popular sport on earth with 5 world cups.
    They bury everyone else.

    It's a blatant fact that the U.S are the best at Soccer. 3 world cups in 20 years? That's unheard of.

    As someone who knows many brazilian immigrants, MMA isn't **** down there. It's soccer or nothing. Yes, BJJ (which isn't MMA) was born in brazil but they consider that a club sport like pick up basketball in the US.

    The "all the best athletes are in soccer" is a bull**** excuse. The best soccer player on the planet is from argentina, yet argies produce many great boxers. Brazil probably just lacks proper boxing gyms and trainers.

    I read Brits newspaper quite a lot on the web and I remember an article about the women in Britain becoming increasingly frustrated with the large number of tranny prostitutes who "visit" from Brazil and are frequented regularly by their husbands and how they wanted the government to clamped down on the Brazilian Shemale escort problem.:lol:

    :lol:

    I've not ever heard any of this. It's probably the wives of the politicians and high court judges who are complaining about it. lol

    I remember once me and one of my mates were sitting on a bench near a small nature reserve and this tranny dressed in a yellow mini dress carrying a handbag just appeared out of the bush behind us and flashed us a big smile. He was about 6'4'' and solidly built and muscular. He looked like he was of Greek or Turkish extraction and I seem to recall noticing he had hairy legs too. lol

    I recall hearing that Freitas was very popular over there but I didn't think it would be on the same type of scale as Anderson Silva's popularity. Not saying it isn't true just that I find it surprising if it is.

    Brazil will take the 2016 Rio games by storm. Brazilians have ALWAYS been known for their collective abilities as far as the sweet science goes.
