Brazil's tourism ambassador has threatened to choke Emmanuel Macron and called his wife Brigitte “ugly” amid a continuing war of words between the French president and the Brazilian government over the fires in the Amazon rainforest.

In a video posted on social media, Renzo Gracie accused Mr Macron, who has criticised Brazil’s response to the devastating blazes, of “talking rubbish” about his country.

“The only fire going on is the fire inside Brazilian hearts and our president’s heart, you clown. Come over here you’ll be caught by the neck, that chicken neck. You don’t fool me,” said Mr Gracie, a 52-year-old mixed martial arts fighter appointed to public office last month by Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's far-right president.

In a subsequent interview with Brazilian news outlet UOL, Mr Gracie complained tourism appeared to be declining in the country due to the “false fires”, claiming without evidence that the burning of the rainforest was at normal levels.

7. Too many brown people; makes him uncomfortable

Plus, he knows he'll be met with large protests - as both he and Bolsonazi have become quite unpopular in Brazil.

Not a whole lot of diplomacy happening there.

4. OMG Renzo Gracie is the tourism ambassador?

He does provide entertainment strangling people in the ring but that qualifies you to be a tourism ambassador?

I do understand thugs, I live in Trump dominated America.

Renzo Gracie finally opened up.

The MMA veteran was arrested a week ago at 1 OAK club in New York and charged for gang assault after sending a nightclub doorman to the hospital. During an interview to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour on Tuesday, Gracie told his side of the story.
