I forgot to add Shogun in my post too......especially in Curitiba ! And I´m talking about the real MMA fans, not the occasional fan.....
:good Can you tell us more about the Brazilian fan community's opinions of the notable fighters? :deal I assume that Wanderlei and Minotauro must be universally popular. And Cigano will get to that level too? All of them seem like they would be great with fan interactions. (Maybe not Wanderlei back in the day so much. :yep) But I've always gotten the feeling that Anderson is kind of a dick. :conf And who is the biggest American villain to Brazilian fans? Is it Frank Mir, for KOing Big Nog and then breaking his arm in the rematch? And then having the attitude of "He should have tapped. Everyone knows that Minotauro is the master of BJJ, and I owned him. Accept it or eat a dick, Brazil." Or is it Chael? How is the upcoming rematch talked about in the Brazilian forums? What do the Brazilians make of his cartoonish villain persona? :think :hat
Made a complete **** of yourself again Haggis :good post the EXACT quote of Mur saying that, and I'll bump your thread about Nog making excuses about his loss to Frank ''Jet leg, bike accident, motivation, I was too small, I was too big'' Mur. Why dont you ask him how it felt to have his skull caved in and be rescued by the ref against Brazilians Pe de Pano and JDS. Whilst your at it, tell us who are the ATG's form Oz and New Zealand My minds made up, you are a ******ed ****. And I dont mean that in an insult sense, I mean that in a literal, clinically diagnosed, the Nazi's would have gassed you sense. Go **** yourself :good
Yeah, basically what Stoo quoted Haggis But I´ll say some additional things....even some of the people that dislike AS would support him against Sonnen, always..... There are a few brazilian posters that believe that Sonnen is doing that only to promote the fight and don´t see a problem with him tough..... Mir was hated but not that much tbh....
He's just using this as an opportunity to take the **** out of Nog, Anderson, PRIDE FC and Brazil Vic, he's a ****
1) I was asking VicJofre. A guy who enjoys pleasant conversation. I wanted to get a dialogue going with him, and asked him to expand on his comments. 2) Yeah, I read a very arrogant-sounding quote from Frank Mir about how he's better at BJJ than Big Nog is, and how Brazilians should accept that regardless of Mir being American. Unbelievable that Frank Mir would say something like that, I know. :-( I couldn't find the exact quote in twenty seconds just now, so I gave up looking. 3) Apparently you have an uncontrollable hard-on for me. Why? :huh I can't even tell you and Popkins apart. Can't we just talk about things like adults, and have different stances and discuss the reasoning behind these opinions? Why do you insist on throwing these infantile temper tantrums over nothing? :blood :conf :hat
:good What is worse for Brazilian fans - Anderson's phoniness outside of the cage, or his disrespect of his opponents inside the cage? See, I don't know if there is a South American tradition of wrestling entertainment like there is in Mexico. But I assume that if there is, it's pretty clear that Sonnen is just playing the villain. He's acting. It's very clear when you can understand English, but it may not be so clear for non-English speakers. So I'm interested in how many Brazilians take Sonnen for real, and if many people express support for his act. :good See, to me Mir seems almost more hateable, because he's not playing an act like Sonnen is. And he trash-talked Minotauro leading up to their rematch and then broke his arm. Nog is way more respected and liked than Anderson and Mir is a very arrogant guy, so I wonder how much hatred Mir gets for what he did to Big Nog. :conf :hat
A bit of both it seems.... No, the only traditional sport is Football (soccer) where no one talk trash.....you are right here, without any tradition with these things we are not used with trash talking.... I really don´t hate Sonnen......but even if he is acting all the time, well, he is not a good actor and he is just ****ing annoying lol.....:conf Like I said, some posters in brazilian forums say that he is acting, promoting the fight, etc....... Renzo Gracie said recently that he knows Sonnen and he is just acting.....well, that does not change anything to most of the fans you know...
You know i always felt Anderson was a bit phony as well. Still his skill level is ridiculous. How popular is JDS getting in Brazil Vic?
Pretty popular right now.....I mean, nothing like the best football players, but popular for a non-football guy standards.....
how popular are the top mma fighters and legends like Wandi and Big Nog and even Anderson today compared to Dinho, Ronaldo, Neymar etc
