As expected, two long-awaited rematches will co-headline the UFC’s return to Brazil.
Officials today announced that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will rematch Chael Sonnen, and “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” coaches Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort also will meet again at UFC 147.
UFC 147 takes place June 23 at Joao Havelange Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. It’s expected to set a new UFC record attendance.
