UFC in talks to hold an event in Manaus, Brazil in front of 100,000 fans

It has today been revealed that the UFC is considering holding an event in Manaus, Brazil at the 100,000 capacity stadium there, something that would once again raise the bar in terms of records set not only by the Las Vegas based promotion but in the entire history of MMA.
Speaking earlier today to Tatame Magazine, Lorenzo Fertitta confirmed:

“We’ve met with the governor of Manaus and they want us to do a fight there. It’s interesting for us, because Jose Aldo is from there, so it’s maybe an opportunity to bring him back to fight in front of his home town. We’re talking to them, trying to find a day, maybe July or August. Maybe we’ll do 4 or 5 in Brazil. I think it’s more realistic.”

According to reports in the Brazilian press, the event would be held at Manaus’ Convention Center — popularly called “Sambódromo.” The sprawling, outdoor venue is over 400 meters long and can hold a capacity of over 100,000. The event currently holding the highest attendance record in UFC history is the recent UFC 129 event in Toronto which saw a shade over 55,000 attend.
