Also from what I understand business in Brazil is not all that dissimilar to business in Mexico and/or Japan, you have to pay certain people for the "right" to do business in the country, and other shady items. “Latin America/n” usually refers to Spanish speaking countries and people, Brazil is a Portuguese speaking country.

Penetrating into Latin America should provide a new audience, which provides more money, which helps the UFC penetrate more markets, and so on. I wonder who will be Latin America's "Michael Bisping"? Cain Velasquez? Possibly a returning Roger Huerta? Someone not yet with the promotion, like LW Billy Evangelista? Also, does anyone see a time when the UFC will try going into Brazil, or is their combat sport market too locked up and unaccessible? From what I understand Brazillians don't consider themselves "Latino", or part of the Latin American sub-culture. South American, yes. Latin American? Not even close, or so a friend tells me who runs a Brazillian grocery store...

I had to come up with interesting ways to find the fights.. So it will be good for Latin America to recieve the UFC... I guess its event better that once again UFC 100 is free in another country (?????????), but anyways when I go back to Latin America perhaps now people will understand what I mean about MMA (or most likely UFC) rather than ask if I want to watch boxing, which mind you I watch some crazy featherweights battle while in Costa Rica, it was like the good 'ol days of boxing ya know when fighters fought with passion and such.. o well That is very interesting, while in Costa Rica earlier this year I was trying to find televised UFC fights (I think FightNight or something was on then) and I couldn’t find anything to do remotely with MMA in that country… I had to come up with interesting ways to find the fights..
