Nover listened to recording of boos while training for UFC bout in Brazil

UFC featherweight and The Ultimate Fighter veteran Phillipe Nover has come up with a new way to deal with the pressure from the crowd as he prepares to take on Renan Barao on Brazilian grounds next Saturday.

As Nover told Sportv he downloaded 15 minutes of booing, so he can get used to the atmosphere.

"I guess it's a mental weapon, because I know I'm fighting in Brazil against a hometown hero, Barao. I prepared myself by downloading 15 minutes straight of old boos, because I know I have to mentally prepare for the situation.
