Everyone is hyped for Face Shoe (it's Shoe Face if you're translating it right, but gently caress it, Face Shoe is hilarious) but Black War Machine was a lot funnier for me. Although it loses a lot in translation, I suppose. (no, the women coaches make no sense for anyone, it's not like they couldn't have gotten Kyra Gracie and someone else too)

On the MW side, that fake Lyoto dude seems pretty drat strong. Really crisp striking, good kicks and takedowns, even got a submission in. I think so far he had the most impressive display out of anyone in the show, or at least the most complete.

Seltzer posted:Yeah. I know it's Shoe Face (Face Shoe was on an official UFC news release and sounds way funnier). A lot of the translation for the show in press releases and on screen subtitles looks like it was literally run through a bad translator. It's why stuff like Cristiano Ronaldo was subbed as Cristian Ronald on the show. There's a bunch of other bad subtitling I was gonna screen cap but I got lazy about. Yeah, I knew it was because of the UFC translation - it was probably done by Wandy himself, judging by the level of quality. About the women coaches...sorta, I guess? Hortência (the blonde one) was the best player on the best Brazilian women's basketball team, and I think most people know who she is around these parts. Isabel not so much, although she was also part of an iconic national team for a sport not called soccer. They're well-known, but they're not huge or anything, definitely not draws either. If I were to hazard a guess to why they're picked, Globo's trying to keep the 35+ women watching Big Brother (still a huge thing is Brazil) tuned in to TUF, since that's the lead-in and all.

1st AD posted:TUF China is being produced by the channel it broadcasts on, but based on the look and feel of the production this season of TUF Brazil looks like it was done in-house. Globo is fuckin' massive, when they actually make an effort they can do "good production values". I watched just a bit of season 1 and it was a lot lazier than this one in terms of production and editing. It helps that they're trying to "modernize" all of their shows, despite having soap operas with the same plot on primetime since 1980 or so. Anyway, enough of random Brazil tidbits. Chael being a better coach than Wandy comes to no surprise whatsoever. He also picked the best MW hands-down from what we've seen on the qualifiers. Also, terrible TUF fights, yay! Can never get enough of those.

To be fair, Chael doesn't have "Imma kill you" heat in Brazil, that's more people assuming that all Brazilians are fuckin' Wanderlei Silva. Most people don't care or vaguely know that he said some poo poo about our country, and after the second Anderson fight it's basically water under the bridge

In our defense, 70% of the typical MMA-watching-Brazilian (think the same as the USA but less fat and more tan) thinks Wandy is so dumb they'd rather back a xenophobic North-American WASP than him. Well, that and he's bad now and we give up on athletes who are bad because gently caress losing, so... Also, it should probably be a soccer ball or a butt. Blanka is fine too, I guess.
