Brazil has always been known to be a passionate and fiery crowd when it comes to MMA, and some even think the fans there are wild enough to give their home fighters an edge over their foreign rivals. From throwing things to the famed ‘ Uh, Vai Morrer!’ – “ You’re going to die!” in Portuguese – the Brazilian crowd has always been a sight to see when it comes to UFC events. But Peru’s Kevin Borjas doesn’t think the home advantage will be at play when he fights Alessandro Costa in the opening bout of UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro. “First of all, Alessandro Costa is now Mexican,” Borjas said when asked bout his opponent in a Spanish interview with MMA Junkie .
