After thirteen years, the UFC will make its return to Brazilian soil in 2011. According to GRACIEMAG.com sources, Ultimate Brazil will be held in November of next year, in Rio de Janeiro.

The venue, according to sources, will be the HSBC Arena, in Barra da Tijuca, where sporting events and concerts by bands like Green Day, Bob Dylan, and R.E.M. have performed in the past. The UFC crew, including Dana White, has already approved of the location, after visiting Rio some months ago.

Headline it with Wanderlei Silva vs Vitor Belfort. 13 years later they can have a do-over.

Hate to break it to you but the Gracie's aren't that competitive in top-level MMA anymore. BJJ maybe but not UFC. Get Jose Aldo, Junior Dos Santos, Thiago Alves, Anderson Silva, Charles Oliveira, Lyoto Machida... then you got a mega card with a badass Brazilian from each division.
