Jorge Masvidal Accepts Darren Till’s Challenge To Fight

[Toco]

It's a common thing in brazilian events to be honest. You'll (almost) never see a close fight being scored for the foreigner fighter. It's to satisfy the crowd, of course, a happy-leaving crowd is much better for the sport than a upset one.
Scoring for the hometown guy in close fights also prevent you from receiving many critics later, from regional media.

a lot of words to say that brazil has shady judging

No, but sometimes judges (of any nacionality) will score a close fight (it had a really close round and 2 clear ones) to the hometown fighter just to make the crowd happy and don't get boos.

Isn't it more that in a close fight the judges are swayed by the cheers every time the hometown fighter does anything at all?

I think it's a combination of these factors.
