The former fighter, and now UFC commentator, Kenny Florian demonstrated all his affection for Brazil, and for the local public, in an interview with the website mma mania. Florian, who has already lived in the country for a period, praised the editions of Ultimate held on Brazilian soil.
“What stands out to me (in the Brazilian public) is their passion. The volume of the crowd is incomparable. I haven't seen anything like this, it's unreal. 7 thousand fans seem like 20 thousand in Brazil. The arena is almost full when the first fight is starting, something you don't see in the North American market. There is nothing like it in sport. It’s different from anywhere I’ve ever been,” said the TUF 1 finalist.
