Check out the current card for UFC 198, which goes down on May 14th in Brazil.
The UFC will return to Brazil on May 14th for their biggest event there yet. UFC 198 will take place in Arena de Baixada in Curitiba, and is expected to draw over 40,000 fans. Because of that, the promotion has stocked the card with Brazilian talent, to the point that a bout between top welterweights Matt Brown and Demian Maia isn’t even on the main card.
The event will be headlined by a UFC heavyweight title fight between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic. The co-main is a very important fight for the middleweight division, with Vitor Belfort taking on fellow Brazilian Ronaldo Souza. In addition to that, Cris Cyborg will make her UFC debut against Leslie Smith, and Anderson Silva will fight Uriah Hall.
