very badly managed by the UFC the streams, they should have two channels, one all Portuguese and one all English

I love the translations
“there were a lot of polemics raised…”
I love the intricacies of how people try to put words into English which don’t translate exactly.

I think she had a brain fart, ohh, Portuguese stream only Portuguese now, maybe the English one was fixed as well?

nope
they just took out the translations altogether.

I've been meaning to learn Portuguese,
I guess now is as good a time as any.

This is pretty lousy, considered
UFC is mainstream now, and it’s time to step it up. That means, at a minimum, professional translators for Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and English available for this stuff.

luta olimpica
they just choose to say wrestling though, kind of like ‘rounds’, there’s a Portuguese word for it too but people mostly use ‘rounds’

WTF happened to the translator?
and why were we hearing both the portuguese > english and english > portuguese translators when we did have them?
uggghh
Ouch, that answer of big Nog brought sadness...
if he loses, his whole family and students will be there.
"We're going to have a belt dispute"... lol
I love translations

Damn someone needs to check Big Nogs birth cirtificate
He’s at least 50 years old!

Why does everything Anderson says sound the same?
It sounds like he’s repeating the same sentence over and over.

I bet Dana loves having Ariel ask if Anderson is still thinking about leaving the sport.

When Zuffa bought Pride they had Wand on to hype the Chuck fight. And the above was uttered. lol

Is there different accents in portuguese like southern, and jersey in english?

It just gets lost on translation to English

I'm bailing on this shit.
Not one word of english.
The interpreter wouldn’t have been so bad if she just wouldn’t have translated Portuguese into english for what is most likely 100% english speaking web stream.
It's the last question!

Can Nog actually see out of those slits he has for eyes?
It looks like his sockets have been permanently swollen

Someone needs to tell Forrest to calm down.
He’s just so intense.

Is it just me.....
….or does it feel like the UFC has officially “made it” w/ that Budweiser logo behind them. I know they’ve had BudLight for sometime now but I dont know, seeing that reminds me of the big time HW boxing bouts of the late 80s and early 90s. Or hell, even DeLaHoya/Trinidad. Like its that big fight atmosphere. Maybe its just me. Hell, I dont even know if thats going to be in the middle of the octagon, thats my assumption as I usually see the BudLight or BudLight Lime logo in that exact same spot during pressers and weigh ins, its usually cuz its gonna show up in the octagon.
