I love how Chael called Anderson out on not understanding English and having an interpreter

Back in the day, Brazil was once lush with lutadors.

They're now extinct.

The Muy Thai Fighters killed them all.

any reason as to why that happened? did the style just become unpopular among fighters?

In my imagination, it's somehow Pedro Rizzo's fault.

care to elaborate? I am a casual MMA fan at best so I really am lost on what style gain popularity and why others fall out of favor

The Gracies rivalry exposed holes in their game since the 70's and was followed up with Rudimar Fredirico's creation of the Chute Boxe Academy and the Vale Tudo style. The late 90's saw the end of Brazilian Wrestling in a competitive stage.

I also like to imagine Marco Ruas hunting down and beating the hell out of every Brazilian wrestler during the 90s.

Whatever did happen to Ruas?
