“Brazil has its best generation in the history of the UFC. We arrive in 2023 with the chance to win five belts out of the 11 possible worldwide. If Glover wins this weekend, we will have 45% of the Ultimate belts. That’s why Brazil is truly a great power.”
Future of MMA in Brazil
“We are growing with this new generation, so it is important to have gyms that have an octagon. It is important to remember that the state of Florida has more octagons than the whole of Brazil. It has to be everywhere, as if it were a football field. The arrival of LFA Brasil was very important, we saw the arrival of several talents, such as the Bonfim Brothers and a whole generation that is coming. The arrival of Fight Pass has given a boost to the owners of national MMA events, some like 'Max Fight' are going to hold events again, we already have several who are interested in signing up with Fight Pass and this moves the entire chain.”
Importance of MMA on Open TV
“Yes, open TV is very important, not only for the more 'hardcore' fan, but also for those who don't consume the sport on a daily basis, it will definitely be practiced again.”
About Jaílton Malhadinho
“Jaílton is an incredible fighter, athletic, he doesn’t even look like he’s a heavyweight. I like guys who aren't naturally heavy when they risk fighting heavier guys, as he will definitely be faster and more agile than the others. Malhadinho's athleticism is different, so I like to see him in the heavyweights, because he's not afraid of moving up a category. Malhadinho really is a guy to watch. I think he is our biggest promise in Brazilian MMA.”
