Yes, and if you think Brazil judges are biased I suggest you contact Lyoto Machida and Demian Maia explain to them how the hell they lost to Phil Davis and Jake Shields respectively in their own backyard. Especially Machida.
While you're at it you might want to contact a couple other Brazilian fighters who — if the judges were biased — should have got the nod over the American but didn't. A couple of prominent examples that come to mind include: C.B. Dolloway > Daniel Sararaffian and Rivera over Munhoz (Correct decision but close fight but I've seen go the other way)
There are of course those weird splits that have gone the other way towards the Brazilian guy like Shogun > Corey Anderson. Though I believe that was a very close fight to score myself. Then there ant some LOL moments such as Tim Means getting a lulzy split decision victory over Marcio Alexandre when it was obviously unanimous or Carlos Eduardo Rocha somehow getting a judge to score the fight for him over Jake Ellenberger. But on the whole it seems to balance itself out. All told, it doesn't appear to be anything worse than what we see stateside or anywhere else in the world.
Regarding the judges who awarded the Brazilian fighter the fight were mostly judges from the states. i.e. In the following sample size:
- Sararaffian = U.S judge (Derek Cleary)
- Alexandre = a U.S judge (Tony weeks)
- Rocha = U.S. judge (Adelaide Byrd)
- Munhoz = U.S judge (Howard Hughes) The two Brazilian judges actually scored it for Rivera
Finally, the UFC almost exclusively uses two out of three U.S judges for every Brazilian card. Just saying, I wouldn't where the fact that this event is being held in Brazil change your fighter preference.
