Not sure if he can pull that off. MMA Weekly is the source.

Maybe he'd get shit thrown at him or something, but if that's how things actually are down there I guess it's not the paradise it looks like in pictures.
Some people just can't distinguish comedy from reality...

I don't think it speaks to a country's civilization...it only takes one or two idiots to create scary situation, especially with "mob mentality"
when the lakers with the finals and the city of LA gets set on fire it doesn't speak to the civilization of America

I'm pretty sure that if Chael insulted the south in that way and went to fight there there would be even bigger security concern becuase of legions of gun nuts there.

I understand guns can be a hobby the same way as anything else.

Here is what the US currently has to say about travel to Brazil. Not saying it is right or wrong.

@RWL but some people want the right to carry them to schools or trains. Do you really have a ton of thugs on trains?
Also do you realize why the "thugs" can easily get guns? Because loose gun laws make the supply of guns larger. It's not only harder to police but these laws simply make it easier to illegaly obtain guns. Also a larger % of real nuts will get guns. How many gun related crimes you have in the US? Not to mention famous cases like Virginia tech, columbine, assasination attempts on famous people and polititians. Such things are unheard of in here.
In most countries in Europe it's very hard to get guns and what may be strange for you they are much safer places and very few peoples have guns. We had an organized crime problem some time ago and due to a lower supply of guns (and it was much higher here than in the western europe) if you saw the mobs arsenal you would laugh.
btw. The 2nd ammendment was put into place when it was possible for the people to overthrow the government with guns. Right now first it's not an option anyone in the civilized world thinks about outside of crazy redneck paramilitary groups and second when you think about the how overblown US military is you stand no chance with your guns. If the govt really decided to fight you you would get smartbombed to hell.
