So, Anderson "killed" Vitor, Maia, Leites...some others?
Ridiculous. The reason is simple: they get local sponsors and media attention in Brazil when they are champions. Also, in Brazil, they can only really sell the events to casuals, when they turn it into "brazilian against something else" and throw a soccer-game feel to it. That's why they are not interested.
But when they are building up their careers, they fight....brazilians!!! The UFC should prevent these micro-nationalisms to damage good fights.
Edit. If Nunes beats Valentina silly and Cyborg beats whoever she fights next.....they gotta go at it. Cyborg can use her american passport!
