UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum will reportedly get his wish of fighting rival Cain Velasquez in a Brazilian football stadium in their rematch, as the Brazilian confirmed the bout is likely to take place in the Arena da Baixada stadium in Curitiba, which seats 42,000. Werdum hopes the bout can take place in March.
As Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com reported, he said:
It’s not 100 percent yet, but the fight will happen in March. 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.
