    It will be closer to 80,000 capacity for the UFC. Remember, they don't need that open field. It will be covered with seats.

    The capacity is like 45,000 for football games. If they can add 35,000 seats on the field, you'll be correct.

    What victory would be better than beating the best fighter in the world, unbeaten in almost six years, in a soccer stadium in the champion's home country that is full of 60,000 screaming fans who hate you?

    If Sonnen beats him then it has to be the biggest win in MMA history. Maybe even top Werdum Fedor. Silva has shown since the first Sonnen fight that he is still a machine.

    The atmosphere at this event will sure be something to see. If Sonnen did happen to get lucky and win I hope he makes it out of there alive.

    :lol:
    Believe me, if he enters in the ring with a Palmeiras t-shirt, and Anderson with a Corinthians t-shirt, I bet there will be many palmeiras supporters rooting for Sonnen (by TV, because in Rio no one is Palmeiras) ! :lol:

    I wouldn´t though, and I´m a Palmeiras supporter.....

    Too bad this will be in Rio and not in São Paulo....

    If Sonnen has any brains he'll enter the octagon wearing the Brazilian national costume and be very polite in what he has to say.
