It appears as though the UFC is targeting a stadium show for a heavyweight championship rematch between current champion Fabricio Werdum and former title holder Cain Velasquez.
According to Werdum, who spoke with MMAFighting.com, the UFC is targeting a pay-per-view event at Arena da Baixada stadium in Curitiba which holds 42,000 fans.
The event would take place in March.
“It’s not 100 percent yet, but the fight will happen in March,” Werdum told MMAFighting.com. “I wanted it to take place in Porto Alegre, but Gremio’s soccer stadium doesn’t have a roof. There’s a soccer stadium in Curitiba with a retractable roof, so it’s probably going to be there.
