UFC President Dana White says they could have easily beaten the attendance record of 55,000 from last April’s UFC 129 event, by scheduling a stadium event in Brazil for UFC 134 instead of booking the HSBC Arena which seats 14,000. Instead the promotion took a conservative approach for their second visit to the South American country, but will look at breaking the record next year with a stadium event that could see as many as 100,000 fans in attendance.
