I wish they'd vary it up a bit more. They're going back to Brazil already and they seem to be spamming Montreal.
:huh They've had 5 cards in Montreal in 4 years. And two of them were GSP fights. Plus Brazil is a huge market for them and they are very keen to grow the brand presence there. It's only the UFC's second card ever there and to be honest I expect and want Brazilian cards to be at least a thrice-yearly thing. I think they'll try to stack Brazilian events with Brazilian fighters against foreign fighters, and I think that'll lead to some great fights. :smoke :hat
Anyone would think that American pay per view and television rights fees bankrolled the entire sport.
