Brazilian Renato Moicano dissing Brazil and praising USA in post fight interview

[Hdfi]

Nunes is no more

WFW champ

I mean, if they don't value the one thing you dedicate yourself to, and another country does, why wouldn't you be miffed?

Similar thing happens with chess players from certain countries - they don't receive much support from their home country despite making it into the highest level and decide to set up shop elsewhere, usually the US, where their talents are actually appreciated.

Things is Brazil is still a developing country. My understanding is their golden age of MMA was back in 2011-2014. Started in 2011 due to Anderson vs Vitor which was a big fight for Brazilian MMA and was spurred further by the UFC holding big events in Brazil like the card later in 2011 headlined by Anderson vs Okami. The UFC invested more in Brazil at this time because Brazil was going to hold the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016 and was seen as a key emerging market for the UFC.

However, in 2014 Brazil was hit with a big recession so naturally a more niche sport like MMA was going to suffer more than something like soccer. This recession and its affect on MMA in particular ended up killing a lot of smaller gyms and promotions which were the building blocks of the country's MMA scene. With fewer small gyms and feeder orgs making it as an MMA fighter in Brazil became harder. Those who can will just move to the US where the scene is much healthier and which has a big proportion of BRs anyway which makes the transition easier.

Good for Moicano. Brazil's just full of unloyal dirty animals anyway

Of course, Brazil's full of crime and criminals.

While I agree to an extent Brazil can be a very scary place, isn't it hypocritical to shit on Brazilians when America is not much different? Like stated earlier, a huge recession and a conservative president along with embracing militarism/fascism plus a growing crime problem with gangs running shit has led to the situation today so bad, people from a country with the EXACT same problems can shit all over Brazil with a straight face and not look stupid. Im not disputing Brazil has issues, but it irks me when people (especially Americans) shit on countries with a pot meet kettle type a thing going on. Super annoying.

Anyway, looks like that good 'ol fashioned 'murcian psychological propaganda has gotten to Moicano pretty easily, and Texas is absolutely chock full of it. I would NEVER raise my kids American if I came from a foreign country originally. Having pride in where someone is from originally is beneficial in most cases, having a unique culture changes things up and makes people interesting and as long as there no superiority complex going on, its usually harmless. For a lot of its faults, there is a lot of reasons to be proud of being Brazilian IMO, and to throw all that away to be an "American" sounsds idiotic. I highly doubt the majority of Brazilians actually don't support their country in a sports sense. It sucks to see MMA fandom in decline there, but I'd attribute that to lack of true superstar fighters from Brazil in recent days post prime Anderson Silva & Jose Aldo.

 

[Ozze]

Lol. TS ready for 2022 "journalism".

Fighter says his country does not care or invest in sports, headline "fighter disses Brazil!"

 

[Willek]

[Bork Neslar]

Brazilian fans are the worst. Even the fighters know that.

 

[tramendous]

Funnily, Russia has similar reaction to Khabib that Ireland has to Conor when it comes to their behaviour. Khabib is a fundamentalist muslim, and there a lot of people in Russia who don't like such attitude.

Anyone who is a practicing traditional Muslim is called "fundamentalist" or "extremist"

 

[Kono dio da!]

Oh no hope he doesn't become a "happy to be here right winger". Brazil does have its problems to be fair. Lots of problems. I get why anyone would leave. But america also has major issues.

 

[Aarkan]

Charles, Figueiredo, Glover and Nunes are champions. There are more Brazilian champions now (4) than in ~ 2013-2016.

Now its "too late"
I think Dos santos fight against miocic was one of the last events they had, that was mid 2017, by 2018 it was already over, it was reflection of the ratings and everything else
People dont care about nunes that much btw

Those guys that you mentioned, they are kinda popular now, when they lose some they go back to limbo
The culture of just watching the sport is not here, and probably never will be

I'm not from Murica

 

[Kyd Blake]

I'm not from Murica

I'll admit fault and say I was generalizing. In the vein of people shitting on other countries when theirs isn't in great shape themselves, Americans take the cake. Ironically enough, I am from and currently live America myself. My bad.

 

[Oozing BDE]

So he disses his country because his countrymen don't care about a D-level sport.

Imagine an American curler shitting on his country for their lack of interest in curling?

The whole USA sucks ass because they don't like and support this.

War Brazil

No government on earth gives a fuck about their MMA athletes. Donald Trump was the only politician who genuinely did and every government hated him, too.

Story of the Moral: don't get involved with MMA if you don't want to be hated by the government.

Don was involved in boxing decades before he got into the mma deal. So from that perspective,it was normal for him to do business with Affliction and so on. They even did a presser and meet and greet at Trump Towers for Fedor v Sylvia.

So a poster who doesnt know or wants to know the context of what he is taliking about,just makes an assumption because he got his panties in a twist about... well,who the fuck even knows??

 

[HHJ]

Oh no hope he doesn't become a "happy to be here right winger".

For sure thats what it could be. There's only two types after all,one of the other.

Liking america too much is SUSPECT

Stop making sense,and taking the time to research shit. Be like the rest and say "uunga bunga speak against country bad"

You said it, not me.

Brazil is odd place. I heard from a reliable source that Brazilians often try to feed carrots to buses because they don’t have buses there.

It’s a legit source. The only thing it got wrong was them not having computers.

Have you ever travelled outside of the US ,especially to a country with lower living standards?Because if you did you might actually understand why Moicano would be happy to raise his family in the US.No offense but you sound like a certain type of American who has been conditioned to hate everything about the country and you’re mad Moicano doesn’t feel that way.
