NO Big MMA organization in Brazil??
ive always found this odd...

it seems there are 3 major producers of MMA fighters....Brazil, Japan, and USA

USA has UFC
Japan has Pride

why doesnt Brazil have an organization of its own??? it would be great to have 3 major orgs...it could be like boxing with the WBA, WBC, and IBF (did i get those right??)

imagine having 3 orgs that could work together and you could have unification fights to declare undisputed champs...of course that would require them to work together which until lately seemed unlikely

but that said...with all of the talent coming from BTT, Chuteboxe, etc...why doesnt Brazil have its own org?

In Brazil you couldn't tell tickets for 20% of what you can sell them for in Japan. How can you get a big venue and pay the purses of all the fighters when you have such a tiny gate draw and no PPV exposure?

"Vale tudo" = MMA. The biggest org here is Jungle fight and it is small if compared to UFC.
