Brazil Quote by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
“There are many promotions in Russia, and they are taking Brazilians to fight there. We need to do something about the Brazilian market, make it stronger to produce new fighters. We need new talents competing here, not there. They have no other option but fight outside of Brazil because there are few options here.”
