Why do people think Brazillians love MMA? (please read)?
I am Brazillian in origin but living in the UK at the moment. I often get the impression that MMA fans think Brazil is crazy about MMA. This is not true, in Brazil MMA is still a very niche sport and has only recently been added to a major TV sports station. In Brazil, even the word MMA is very unknown and is often called "Vale Tudo" (anything goes) … it is much like how people who do not know MMA call it cage fighting.
Because of it’s association with Vale Tudo MMA is often looked down upon in my country. Although it has many fans people view it as a form off thug fighting, the kind that criminals do. It is often seen as unproper to talk about MMA in public because it still carries this stigma. The media in Brazil rarely bring MMA up in the news unless the police have shut down an illegal fight ring.
People outside Brazil must think Anderson SIlva and Machida are superstars here. This is untrue. While they are celebrities they are more in the B-category of celebrities. Most MMA fighters build their successes abroad. The most well-known MMA fighter in brazil would be Vitor Belfort because he is dating a famous brazillian dancer. Nog is also famous now because he is in boxing now.
In general combat sports are looked down upon in Brazil. We prefer lighter sports such as Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, golf .etc. Boxing is the most popular combat sport but comes in a long line after other sports. capoeira is our msot love style but only because it is a dance. Most fighting styles from Brazil are not reguarded well … such as Brazillian Jiu Jitsu which has long been used by criminals who mindlessy beat up citizens. It is seen as dirty fighting only a low-life would use. The Gracie family are often known as the greatest of all scum for glorifying their criminal heritage.
It has very many fans today in Brazil but they are seperatted by long distances and it is not hugely popular.
People think that Brazilians love MMA because their Jiu Jitsu is put to such practical use there. They have seen a long string of champions rise because it is a martial art that is very much a part of the competitive sports culture here. Guys like Royce Gracie or Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira are part of that history. Since they are the most well known Brazilians in the states, they are cultural representatives for your country, whether most Brazilians like it or not.
I wouldn’t worry about it though, because most Americans like Anderson Silva or Nogueira so by proxy, they like Brazilian stuff. Who knows, it may be a segway to get people from around the world interested into less violent parts of the culture.
