And I don't know about you but I wouldn't walk around Rio at 4 in the morning either. Specially during high season. Maybe if the card had started at a reasonable hour instead of trying to accommodate only the American audience, then they would have risked trying to get a Uber at 4 am along side 20 thousand people.

They use Charles and Alex (superstars that sold out arenas and mídia) to save UFC 300 (Alex was supose to fight Hill in Rio). Brazil is the land of MMA
UFC Countdown served and fulfilled its purpose, I think I can become an Erceg fan, this guy becoming a champion would make me smile.

Still think Aldo has what it takes to become a double champ. He was on a HUGE winning streak before losing to Merab in controversial fashion. Despite his age, he has shown no signs of physical decline. He's a stylistic matchup for O'Malley. Most devastating leg kicks in history, impossible to takedown, and elite boxing. Top 5 of all time and the greatest Featherweight to ever do it. Appreciate him while he's here everyone.

Nasty disgusting crowd at the last UFC 283 in Rio. Brandon Moreno being pelted with beer and trash. The trashy fans not showing Glover T. respect at his last fight in Rio by leaving before the fight was over and leaving during his post fight comments inside the octagon.
I like Erceg, i can see he is such a community guy and is devoted to giving back. Pantoja obviously has a touching story that many people can relate too as well. I think Pantoja wins but Erceg seems like a standup guy and if he pulls the upset i'd be happy for him.
MMA Guru voiceover for the Erceg intro is classic, full fan boi, but i respect it.
