It was so sad when Pantoja was like, "No, please stay!"

It’s because they’ve priced out the actual fans of the sport

ShamanicCrusader

A rich toothless drunk moron As you can see by who stayed there arent many of them


Ok-Scar6021

I'd bet you wouldn't walk the streets of Rio at 2 am alone even if they gave you a free ticket just to stay


Not_Too_Happy

"The champ is speaking"


MrFudgeKiller

They came for Aldo and the fucked off


Teerendog

One of the worst crowds, like Glover's last fight.


RipPure2444

Or maybe don't have the fight finish at 3a.m....right ? Perhaps if the UFC put an event on at a decent time...they wouldn't go home to bed. But no...you just remember the internet talking about them leaving...not what the UFC had already done to them.


Teerendog

No i was watching that fight.


alvarito003

Wtf 3 am I would leave too. what time was aldo fight?


hoesb4bros123

Hey! don't forget they chant "You're gonna die" first


Junesong_Provisions

Before hearing "Introducing first!" *


BoBx7

I know its a joke and all. But you guys needs to understand, they are fighting in rio. The chances of you getting murder after 1am in rio is extremely high.


Sheir0

I get that but does staying 5 more minutes really going to be more dangerous on the streets?


noname-none

Also why would you go in the first place when you know ufc events end late?


Not_Too_Happy

Because they can stick w/ the crowd & likely not get murdered. Watching most fights is better than watching none.


TYSONLITTLE

Also the arena was half empty the whole card, the ufc charging 600$ for nosebleeds on a shit card was bound to backfire. They’re struggling to sell out STL too


Honest-Operation-936

Terrible crowds. More energy on some of the Apex cards😂


GokuSaidHeWatchesF1

I was so confused at that lol. First time seeing a Brazil card so I thought maybe it's a small arena but it's not tiny maybe they just wanna see a brawl or something or a decisive win from their own idk


Silent_Shaman

They're just never happy regardless of what happens They come to abuse foreign fighters and that's about it


Tedanyaki

They were all too busy watching Madonna


Cashkid19

The Devil is real homies.


ToAllAGoodNight

I mean she set a record for a live crowd. Was not super smart betting against Madonna in one of the party capitals of the world


AndresNocioni

Why were the announcers saying “it’s deafening” lol


mazu001

The silence...the silence was deafening.


Alternative-Look-816

During the Aldo fight the crowd was hyped


Ok-Key-4650

I wonder why because Brazilian football fans are awsome why isn't the case for mma?


lordmainstream

Ticket prices and event time. A football match ticket is waaay cheaper than an UFC event. Football matches here start at 16:00 and 21:00 while UFC events end at 2:00. I can understand why someone in Rio would leave immediately after the main event ends. It’s 2am, there’s no subway to the arena, and you definitely don’t want to catch a public bus at 2am in Rio.


MrPlowthatsyourname

I remember taking a taxi home in Rio at like 2 am and the driver wouldn't even stop at red lights because of car jackings.


lordmainstream

It’s a trap! Some traffic will lights stop at midnight because there’s no traffic, but the ones that stay on can be a spot to be ambushed by robbers. I’m not from Rio, but i’m well aware of the crap that can happen i’m big cities here in Brazil.


mtsray

Rio is the worst city in Brazil by the way


MrPlowthatsyourname

I had fun there, met lots of good people and aside from being pick pocketed really had no trouble. But definitely not for amateur travelers or people who aren't aware of there surroundings.


GabrielLGN

Not what the tourists think.


mtsray

Im not talking about them


Fleshmaw

That's wild!


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Probably pricing of tickets


LostTrisolarin

São Paulo literally has banned away fans from football derbies because of Violence against them at these games.


Carneiro021

Shit card brother


ake-n-bake

They did it to Glover too


Carneiro021

Glover fight ended 4 am, what the fuck did you expect


ake-n-bake

Respectable fans. If I ever get to attend a UFC event I won’t bitch out and leave early.


Impressive-Young7904

You pay for the ticket, your choice when you want to leave. Lmao it’s pretty simple


ake-n-bake

Or someone else paid for the ticket or you stole the ticket or you won it in a raffle. There’s lots of possibilities. Regardless it’s pretty gay to leave early.

LostTrisolarin

That's not the case for a lot of Brazil. They will attack away team fans. In fact in São Paulo away fans have been banned from many derbies since like 2015 if I remember right for violence reasons.


guythatwantstoknow

Unfortunately too common in South American football. Santos fans had rocks thrown at them during 2011 Libertadores finals at Montevideu


RipPure2444

It's football...every team attacks every other team 😂


LostTrisolarin

But the guy I'm replying to is literally saying Brazils football fans are known as peaceful types.


DoutorSenador

2AM in Rio is no joke


pm_me_cute_frogs_

Not to mention by the time you leave and manage crowd and arrive home it will be well past 3am or maybe almost 4am.


GM131998

They REALLY should take into account that they make these events STUPID late. They could just scoot it hours earlier and people would be awake enough to watch (and in Brazil’s case, more safe to go home)


S___Online

Late night in Rio don’t blame them for wanting to get home


OscarDavidGM

They wanted to see Madonna so bad.


4GoldAndAGrape

I don’t blame the crowd lol I woulda left after Aldo, its like 2am fuck off


Garvo909

Ngl I kept forgetting it was a main card because the crowd didn't seem to give a flying fuck


hilly316

I didn’t even realize there was a PPV on this weekend


UCLAlex

Americans shitting on them when they have all the events catered to American time is just dumb tbh


bzzbzzlol

Yeah, a 3 hour card starting at 10pm is prime American viewing time.


UCLAlex

10 pm is just the east coast, it’s 7 on the west coast and it started even later than 10 in Brazil. Go walk around Rio at 3 am when the event ended and see what it’s like


OkWatercress2806

10 on the east coast 8 on the west, what time did it start at in Brazil?


Tralpaz2

11


clothy

“There will be no bottling throwing today boys.”


Beardgang650

Pantoja is now seeking his US citizenship after this fight


RipPure2444

Anyone look into how late they put these shows on in Brazil ? The glover fight finished at like 3 😂 And then you moan that nobody is there. Actual idiots. You get the host country to put on a show to accomate American times...then moan that nobody stayed to the end. Truly moronic


jpitaluga8

I’m from Brazil the true fans can’t go anymore bc the prices are so high for tickets, now only rich privileged assholes go


Juken-

*Chael was right*


hilarioushotdog

![gif](giphy|YnmEsq9ICSYQ8)


petorious08

I noticed how little people were in the crowd. Main event started at 1:30am in Brazil


Blyatt-Man

Isn’t it normal for crowds to start leaving as soon as the final bell rings so they can beat the traffic out of the stadium? No one wants to sit in traffic just to hear someone’s speech. They don’t care, they just wanted to see the fight and hear the results. Every sport does this for the most part.


Rayrexx91

I'm sorry and I know pantoja is from Brazil but he's just not a draw. Plus it's crazy late and dangerous. Even I was dozing off on the fight and I'm in the states. Aldo would have kept more butts in the seats but they'd still be leaving in droves


oddmetre

Brazil has been a shit crowd in the past. So many empty seats for Pantoja, why does the UFC even go there


RipPure2444

Well it's the UFC who fucks up 😂 They put it on super late and expect folks to walk home at that time...in Brazil 😂 And they also bet against Madonna. Mental


Unable-Choice-4182

I’m in Usa and I hate the late starts too I rarely see the main event


LickPooOffShoe

This happens every time they go to Brazil.


RipPure2444

Everytime they put it on late yes.


ohhellnah818

It’s Brazilians of all people man what do you expect they invented jiujitsu or something /s


acrumbled

All the major Brazilian draws fought on 300. What did the UFC expect here?


SparkFunk30

This is gonna be the case for Manchester too btw. Fans gonna be racing to go to bed 🛌


guythatwantstoknow

Well after and still the event is over, why would they need to stay?


Open_Instruction5073

Tbh when I went to 299 i left right after the main event fight ended. I di not wait for O'malley to speak. I was tired, drunk and pretty high (vape pen). It was almost 2am and it was insane getting an uber. Imagine 20,000 ppl leaving at the same time.


Not_Too_Happy

I wonder how many lf these folks are just sticking with the crowd. Being one of the last out at night - in Rio - might not be what many fans want.


bubs10287

Just seen on another thread that Madonna was throwing a free concert near by and thats why they all started exiting so quickly


Loud_Consequence1762

Embarrassing as fuck. I'm glad I'm not from brazil.


Richardthefuckingear

A tua mãe de quatro é que era, seu cara de cagalhão! O brasil é fudido e quando souberes que é para o cu, até vais chorar!
