  • @auralvampire1 lol. So if I follow your logic, the maians created the soccer before the english too. ;)

    But I agree that the brazilians not invented MMA, they invented UFC.

    Gracies showed for us all the superiority of BJJ between others single martial arts creating the UFC. They showed that is necessary to learn some ground game rather than only striking. So other fighters tried to fix their lacks learning others MA.

    Gladiators, pancration, that old "MMA" was long dead.

  • @KovarD search this video on youtube, Life in Rome : Gladiators..... sound familiar? 2 men fighting in an arena in front of thousands of screaming fans. Striking, throws and submissions. Sometimes with weapons ands sometimes just empty handed. SO YES the true beginnings of MMA type combat did not originate in Brazil. It has been around for thousands of years. Spartans, Greeks and Romans all held these kind of events.

  • @snekkevik israelies also play sports in the eurovison, so what? just forget race, it' s a 19th century fiction, WHO CARES?

  • @rigapov5000 brazil is a mixed country, most people have multiracial background, from blond blue eyed folks to dark blacks. If you wanna call it brown, indian or whatever do it, it shouldn' t bother you unless you' re a closet racist.

  • well, first...fat americans believe that only usa has white people....well thats why americans are gringos...that means...stupid people.

  • @DynomiteDerek He wasn't adopted.
