I'm already champing at the bit to watch these two ferocious warriors go to war Saturday night! This fight is going to be a milestone for the MMA world, as Both Cain and Junior have what it takes to beat anyone else on the whole planet at this point of their careers. We are certainly going to find out who rightfully deserves the title of baddest man on the planet comes Saturday night. As a good old Brazilian and avid MMA fan, it goes without saying that I'll be supporting my fellow countryman JDS who, besides being as good as it can get a fighter, he is also a class act, down to earth human being who does deserve to be on top of the world.
I want to see Brazilians holding as many UFC belts as possible right now so we can generate more resources, funding, media coverage, and so on and so forth for this exceptional sport I dig so much! Down here many Brazilians who start training in mixed martial arts relinquish their dream after not finding sponsors or making enough money to make a decent living off it.
However, the current state of affairs doesn't look as gloomy as it used to. It's rather promising as the UFC has just hammered out a deal with the biggest national TV station - Rede Globo. That is, since the fight will also be aired live for the joy of our whole nation, many people who would never spend their hard-earned greens on PPV, or subscribe to the sole fight channel available will tune in and hopefully have the experience of their lives.
Provided that Brazilian fighters have been doing so well in the UFC recently, regardless of their poor financial means, and virtually zero national exposure, I wonder how dominant they will become granted the current fast pace growth of MMA continues...
