“美国人与巴西人的竞争, 这是显而易见. And why is that? It’s because the UFC has three hundred fighters under contract, and from those three hundred fighters we are fifty. The Brazilians are fifty, and we have more belts than they do.”
“So from three hundred we are fifty, and with those fifty we get there and take care of business. They win (more) because they have more (人), they have a bigger infrastructure inside their gyms, they have support for the sport since they’re kids. But the sport is growing in Brazil and I believe that…”
“They look at us with (malicious) eyes, let’s say it like that. If you’re going to fight an American in the US you have to win the fight with emphasis because otherwise… You can’t win it by a thin margin.”
In an interview with Brazilian Media outlet “Globo TV” (Translated by bloodyelbow.com) Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira believes that American fighters have a better chance at success because of the American judges ref’ing each contest.
Additionally, he believes that based on numbers Brazilians are better.
I have not heard of this rivalry until now, is what he speaks true?

If You want Big Money Must Fight In US
I guess Frank Mir gave him some lessons in who’s better at “his game”
Was it that bias that allowed Mir to twist his arm like a bag of chips?
They gotta be good at fighting. They don’t win FIFA world cups anymore…lol jk.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
The only reason the gyms in Brazil are bigger is because they probably only cost five chickens, I think nog is a piece of shit now
lol funny but harsh
I concur..Big Nog has a point.
Im an American living in brazil and I hope you guys back in the states dont think Nog is speaking for guys like Vitor, Jose or W.Silva. Vitor loves the USA, Jose brings down americans to train with and Silva doesnt leave US soil lol. Nog is just trying a Chael move but he doesnt think or speak fast enough to fan the fire…this will burnout fade like that fart from his mouth. 但…War USA!!!!!!!!!
Americans are racist pieces of shit thats why you always here of them getting killed in other foreign countrys.
your a dip shit and to me it sounds like your the racist one. dont like americans do you?
USA! USA! 美国! Nog is drunk ! Arm hurts huh?!
I’ve never heard of any rivalry? I’m an American mma fan and I love Brazilian fighters. Maybe its different for the fighters. I think Brazilians are tougher and meaner in the cage than Americans. But Americans have better facilities to train in and a better support structure. I think he’s saying this because everytime anyone who isn’t american gets in the cage with an American the drunken idiots in the crowd start a USA chant. Our fans are retarded.
Nog’s just pissed off that he has been getting his shit stomped in by every american fighter he fights aside from schaube. Mir twisted his arm damn near off his body. hes lucky mir didnt put it in a doggy bag and take it home with him.
I prefer the Brazilian fighters!
They are more violent!
because they need a nocalte but the judges give the fight to the U.S.
this guy is fukin crazy…there is no bad blood..people respect the brazil fucs…cheal is only 1 guy..
A weak comment by Big Nog , he has let himself down badly .
If anything unless a Yank stops a Brazilian then the Brazilian gets the decision , 9 times outa 10 .
Brazilian fighters are very well respected by Yanks but if Big Nog keeps on with comments like that then things will soon change .
America has no case to answer here as far as I’m concerned .
I heard that he petted a bus while Little Nog tried to feed it a carrot.
… its what I heard! 没有。
…but seriously folks, these tough lads are, juts like us, watching what’s shown… so naturally they’re going to perceive the most highly defined categories that the media portrays.
Do I think that ALL of the best fighting is only between the USA and Brasil (respect to the spelling, compadres)?
井, 没有, of course I don’t!
Do You?!
I personally like Brazilian MMA more than American MMA. Brazilians are definitely more so, finishers. As opposed to Americans who have such a strong wrestling root that they can afford to take it easy in their fights. Keep in mind, I’m born and raised in America; but I’ve simply noticed a trend. Brazilian’s are vicious, and Americans…Well not so much.
