UFC Managing Director of International Development Marshall Zelaznik had the following to say about the news:”It is great for our fans and for the UFC to be able to stage events in new parts of Brazil. The UFC is exploding everywhere in the country, and Minas Gerais, being the third biggest state in the country, seemed like the perfect place for this.
