Is Rio Heroes actually Illegal??

I've heard conflicting info. 

Can anyone from Brazil actually confirm its legality or illegality?  Is true Vale Tudo legal/illegal in Brazil?

.

I know there will be a bunch of clown-ass answers, but if someone can actually confirm its legal status that would be nice.  Thanks in advance.

It's only legal on Indian Reservations there.

Damien, call me when you get a chance.

It's not Vale Tudo so I think their safe regardless.

good question

IIRC true Vale Tudo has been outlawed there for many years now.

I think alot of it had to do with Sergio Batterelli's events.

Actually, being an illegal event adds something to it.

anyways ttt for someone in Brasilia to answer

Why from Brasilia? The fights were in Rio.

Vale Tudo is not outlawed everywhere in Brasil but in the mega city of Sao Paulo it is. In Rio it is not.

if you're not from Brasilia your answer does not count.

; )

I would say no because the american owner might have trouble getting a visa running an illegal business in brazil. He puts his name out there.

I mean why Brasilia because its a city.

I am a resident of Sao Paulo!!!!!!!!

"Vale Tudo is not outlawed everywhere in Brasil but in the mega city of Sao Paulo it is. In Rio it is not."

Good info.  So it's handled in a similar manner to the US, where MMA is legal in some states but not in others?

i'm just jokin around Jahz.
