GOIANIA, Brazil -- The UFC couldn’t reach the same success in its second trip to Goiania.
A year and a half after Vitor Belfort vs. Dan Henderson drew 10,565 fans to the Goiania Arena, Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night 67, headlined by Carlos Condit vs. Thiago Alves, set the UFC’s lowest attendance number ever in Brazil with approximately 3,500 fans.
The fight card is not to blame, though, according to UFC general manager in Brazil, Giovani Decker.
"We know Brazil is going through an economic crisis," Decker said at the post-fight press conference.
