During the last week, Rede Globo announced in its commercial schedule that it would broadcast the main fight of UFC 146 between junior gypsy e Frank mir, but to everyone's surprise the fight was shown on VT by the broadcaster about 30 minutes after the end.
At the moment the Brazilian knocked out the North American, Rede Globo broadcast the film The House of Bunnies. The non-showing of the fight live was justified at the UFC 146 press conference, when the broadcaster's reporter complained to Dana White, president of the UFC, that the preliminary fights ended ahead of schedule and the channel's viewers had to watch the fight. in VT.
The UFC director seemed not to care about Globo's arguments and said that the UFC, as it is a global event, cannot meet everyone's needs. But the delay infuriated viewers waiting for the broadcast of Cigano's fight. The internet quickly became the means for fans' anger to be expressed. On Twitter, the term “#globofail”, an allusion to the broadcaster’s “failure”, entered the list of the most mentioned words in the world.
Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!

THERE IS NO USE OF PROVOKING THAT THE THING CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED IN THE OCTAGON. JR CIGANO IS BRAZIL IN THE UFC!!!
It's not the first time that the silly network has done something stupid, Dana With is right in saying that the UFC is a world-class sport and cannot meet anyone's needs.
Ever since Globo took over the rights to the UFC, everything started to suck. The small and indebted TV network masterfully staged UFC Rio and Globo and its associates lost the right to broadcast the Anderson Silva vs Sonnem fight in Brazil!!! Joke right globe!
