One of the richest man on the planet, Eike Batista, Brazilian entrepreneur and president of the EBX Group, announced today he’ll sponsor the twin brothers Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira and Rogerio ‘Minotouro’ Nogueira in their upcoming fights at UFC 140, against Frank Mir and Tito Ortiz.

Ranked 8th on Forbes’ list, Batista explained the choice on a press release, in his website.

“We increased our support on the national sport with the sponsorship of the brothers Rodrigo Minotauro and Rogerio Minotouro, MMA fighters, who’ll do their last fight of the year at UFC 140, when they’ll fight the heavyweight Frank Mir and light-heavyweight Tito Ortiz”, said the note.

 Maybe he doesn't make as much now, although I doubt it, but I know for a fact that Big Nog was driving a fucking BAD ASS Yellow Lamborgini(B/c lamborgini's symbol is a bull) when he was UFC Champion.

that is awesome that someone with that much capital and prominence is supporting the sport like that.

the opportunity for UFC in Brazil is just huge.

 MMA in Brazil is blowing up. I love it.

Good stuff - lot of kids down here don't have much, and their opportunities are close to none.

By supporting a growing sport like mma, these kids may find a way out. Like Diego Brandao for example or Thiago Silva, guys who had nothing but decided to give it all to achieve something.

I wish some of the states would stop looking at mma in a negative light (violence etc) and start looking at how this sport could be very beneficial not only for kids, but for anyone really, whether it may be a career for some, or a pass time for others.

 wow, dude is just throwing them some serious cash....Which is nothing to him, but still an awesome gesture.
