Brazil has long produced top-level mixed-martial-artists, and it now
appears the country will play a big role in the plans of the sport’s
biggest promotion, the UFC.

from the country’s beautiful beaches and lavish countryside,
near-incomprehensible poverty is rarely but a few steps away.
Veteran manager Alex Davis, a Brazilian native and current resident of
the country, hopes fans will keep close to their hearts the background
of some of the country’s fighting prospects, especially as the nation’s
talent continues to rise to prominence.
