UFC Announces Plans for 2012 Return to Brazil

With UFC 134 only days away, the UFC appears to already have its sights set on a 2012 return to Brazil. The UFC will this time be headed to the northwest Brazilian city of Manaus, the capital of Brazilian state Amazonas. UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta announced the news after a meeting with Amazonas Governor Omar Aziz and US Ambassador to Brazil Clifford Sobel.

The UFC will be targeting the Convention Center of Manaus for the 2012 event. The UFC will be looking to shatter its previous attendance records for the event at 100,000 seat arena. The UFC's current attendance record belongs to UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto with over 55,000 in attendance to see Georges St-Pierre defeat Jake Shields.
