Alexandre Pantoja on Steve Erceg & how to survive the Brazilian favelas | UFC 301 

i think Nina would feel alot safer going into the favelas with Poatan

bro pantoja is so likeable idk how people hate on him

Such a humble and likeable dude ❤️

Your videos have skyrocketed to my favorite thing about fight weeks. By far, your videos are the things I look forward to most!

As a brazilian, don´t go to the Favelas there is litteraly nothing that is worth the risk, all the favelar are dominated by drug dealers, and almost every day they get into shootings against the cops or other gangs. so if you ever go to Rio, just stay in the rich part, and obviously watch out for your phone and gold chains.

2:19 Pantoja about favelas "we have some drugs there, there's drugs everywhere" As a Brazilian I must say, most of Brazilian people would never step their foot in Rio de Janeiro, bc Hell de Janeiro is such a dangerous place where even poor people are kidnapped, crazy place.

It's actually safe for gringos (foreigner) to be in the favelas, if you have permission to be there, with most gringos do, because they usually buy tourism packages that already have a guy from inside the favela that is responsible to show them all the parts of the place. If you have a touristic guide your definitely safe.

Fantastic Interview ! That was so smooth.

Coming to Rio to visit a Favela is like going to Chicago to visit O'Block, just stay in the safe guys

As an Aussie I'm going for Pantoja this weekend, this guy is a great man because he is a good husband and father that's the most important thing

We need Paul Craig interview. Dudes funny as hell

1:55 the editor did Pantoja dirty… LMAO

Wow. That was great. Way to go Nina

Great interview Nina!! Always so funny!! Congrats 🎉🎉

Never go willingly to any kind of shanty town, guided or not.

I've seen many examples of people having negative reviews of Nina and her interviews, or the fact she gets to do what she does - but honestly, it's such a wonderful look into who fighters really are, ask fun questions and integrate jokes to the interviews. Shes definitely making MMA better overall, and more inclusive and interesting. Nice job and keep it up!

Favelas is the most insecure place in Brazil even for us Brazilians... Crime all over this places

Going to Rio and then going to a favela makes no* sense. That's like visiting the US and going to a trailer park for sight seeing

Hell yeah, go to the favellas with Pantoja, I'd be hyped for that content

Wow! This guy is my perfect neighbour, lovely guy with a lovely family and would be welcome anytime to pop around for a beer! Wishing him all the best.. Beautiful interview Nina.. Thanks Xx

Y’all who’s hating should research this guy and where he came from. He’s a real fighter. AND STILL

Wiping your hand before shaking someone elses is so real Nina, I see you

This one is gold!

Actually “parallilepipedo” it’s a Greek 🇬🇷originated word of geometry as many others in Spanish and Portuguese languages “παραλληλεπίπεδο « Pantoja such a great guy like many Brazilians ❤️🇧🇷

What's interesting about favelas, places controlled by drug trafficking with people held hostage by drug traffickers, being Brazilian I think it's ridiculous, the romanticization they make of favelas, I don't live in Rio, I live in Curitiba, everyone from Curitiba finds this romanticization of favelas ridiculous, lawless place dominated by crime

Best UFC interviews hands down!

Man I love these interviews

I bet Paul Craig was a good crack with Nina

Favela is an incredible place to visit here, everyone is friendly and if you meet a drug dealer just act like a Jurassic Park movie: Don't move, don't breathe, don't do eye contact. If they confront you don't worry you will be remembered.

Pantoja is such a humble dude. I wish you well my friend. ❤

seperation anxiety couldve been fixed at puppy stages if you dont make it a big deal about when you leave and when you come into the house like dont give them all the attention when you first enter it will help alot..

Dude i love this guy 😂 he knows she's scared of the favelas so he kept pushing that button : *"We go we go"* *"uh... ok"* *"Yeah after fight we go"* 🤣🤣

Awesome interview

"So, here's the thing about favelas."

She has the best laugh. Love it!

I like this guy. He's bumpin up his country saying drugs are everywhere.

NINA IS THE BEST RU-vidR/JOURNALIST/COMEDIAN/FIGHTER/INTERVIEWER AND ATHLETE ❤❤🔥🔥💯💯

What a cool guy. This and the Aldo interview were a great watch

So basically, the way he said to stay safe in Brazil is to not go there . But it's super safe . 🙄

foreigners literally go on safari in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, that's crazy.

Muitas Bênçãos em sua luta ALEXANDRE

Great interview Nina. One of your top 10 Salute 🫡

What a gentleman and Still 🙏

Going to a favela with Pantoja would be a prime piece of content industry plant Nina

Appreciate the honesty in your videos, it's rare these days

good brazilian guy, good on what he does, humble and also engaged with social causes

ninas looks and personality makes her a 11 out of 10 fr

As a Brazilian, Rio is like one of the worst of Brazil these days. The nature is still there, but no much more. It´s not the violence only, but the culture there is bronken too. But if you know the rigth guys, like Pantoja and Aldo, you can go to some Favelas (because there is a lot of them), not anywhere but somewhere.

I'd totally go to the favela if Pantoja was offering to show me around

Nina!!!!! Cartellll!!! Wooo, NINAA

What a fighter. After that Moreno win to become champion I became a huge fan.

Casual reporter: Congratulations on winning the title since the last time we talked. Pantoja: Thank you Nina: Has anything new happened since the last time we saw each other? Pantoja: I won the title. Nina: And you haven't had any supernatural experience.

“A Pitbull is Thiago Alvez” - Pantoja💀 at the last second

Nina is the best

Nina please go into the Favelas and make a video😂

You have to massage the gums to keep them from chewing everything up. We have a girl named Nalla we say she's Russian her full name is Nalla Kockoff

Great guy👌💪

Hes a great Champion, very likable guy. Nina cracks me up, she thinks she's gonna be held hostage at the favella lol😂😂😅

Dope interview and nina you gotta go

Pantoja is a good dude man

To those poor good people who are stuck in those favelas i wish you find your way out and a better life for yourself and your families ♥️

Love Pantoja, down to earth, funny, cool, tough champ!

Rio de Janeiro is so good... we, brazilian, call Hell de Janeiro

Lesson of the day is Pitbulls. They will renovate your house without asking 😅

Such a wholesome interview

I hope Nina takes pantoja up on the offer to film something in the favelas that would be cool

He should have been fighting Mokaev

Im 5 mins in and its sounding like Colby was right years ago about Brazil

lmao that masvidal pitbull misunderstanding makes so much sense

I used to be not the biggest fan of pantoja after he beat Moreno. But slowly but surely I’ve been a fan, and this vid only made me a bigger fan

A gata da Nina tá no Brasil

You can go, we go

Nina drop the Myktybek Orolbai interview!!

Hi nina❤

We are going to miss you if you don't come back nina.

Of course its very safe to go to a place dominated by drug dealers 😂

🐐

I heard rumors she did playboy. Eddie bravo told me to look into it. I did. I'm happy now.

Beautiful

Yes , yes go in the favellas , ask to visit the favellas of "the city of God" movie , the favella of the guy Zè Pèqueňo 💯💯💯💣💣💣

Pantoja definitely thee man..

NINAAAAAAA!!!! WILL YOU BE AT UFC STL???? PLS SAY YES PLS SAY YES.

He loves Power Beats got me LMMFAO 😂😂😂

Stillllllll the champ

They got the best lean (codeine/Prometh syrup) right now in the favelas

Chael said it best lol I'm not going to repeat 😂

They need a PI in Brazil think of all the legends that have come from there too many to count

I don't think going to the Favelas is the best idea lol

Go to Favel with Poatan,Pantoja and Do Bronx

Alexandre Pantoja casually invited Nina Drama to the favelas LMAO

WE NEED MIKTYBEK DA GOAT🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Man I’d feel really bad for Pantoja if he loses the belt, especially in his own country. Must feel absolutely horrible.

This is actually sad, because it is all true

My ocd keeps screaming at Nina in every video to trim her eyebrows. Don't get me wrong Nina you're gorgeous, it's just those little tufts by your nose trigger me so bad.

Hope she interview Barboza, he so nice, I love Pantoja, but he is like a car, start some fights in 9 gear, very unpredictable I saw his fights, never the same. If you are reading this, in my opinion the most dificult word in both language is entertainment, me and my son speak english, and i ask him to say this word in portuguese, he is like me, we don't know, but I got in google 'entretenimento' speak even worst, try, put on google and listen both ways to talk.

Ask the-MMA-bosses to book open-weight division for strongmen to fight the NFL players 😊

Pantochad

Yass, Love the top its so cute.

7:12 lmao Nina from the Bronx but not knowing these rules is funny

Nina in the favelas would be crazy 🤣
