BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Brazil long has been considered the spiritual birthplace of MMA, and now it’s suddenly becoming one of the UFC’s top markets.
UFC executive Marshall Zelaznik today declared the debut season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil,” which concludes at Saturday’s UFC 147 event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a resounding success and said the promotion is already planning on a second edition of the series.
“We do anticipate another season,” Zelaznik today told MMAjunkie.com. “It’s certain that we’ll do it.”
