Brazillians on TUF?

Have any fighters from Brazil ever been on the show?

With Nog as a coach, I think it would be a really good idea to get some up and coming Brazillian fighters in the house. It might also be really cool to have a South America vs North America feel to the next show, Mir coaches people from the USA and Nog coaches people from Brazil. Do you think this could work?

Not a bad idea actually.

The only problem I see is the subtitles. It is an American show and the target audience probably does not want to read a bunch of subtitles.

I don't see how that's a problem when the UFC/Spike TV usually (or at least recently) do voice overs (dubbs).

I really didn't get the joke... but English is not my native language... btw... Gurgel and Franklin seem to be really "close friends" don't they? I mean, really close...
