UFC 147: Belfort vs. Silva 2 Set for Brazil's 'Mineirinho' Arena
UFC 147 finally has a home.
The promotion announced on Friday that Brazil's Estadio Jornalista Felipe Drummond, aka "Mineirinho," in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, will host the event on June 23. This will mark the third time in less than a year that Brazil hosts a UFC event.
The main card, headlined by Vitor Belfort vs. Wanderlei Silva, will air live on pay-per-view, while the prelims will air on FX.
UFC 147 was originally supposed to feature Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen 2 inside a Rio de Janeiro soccer stadium, but the UFC was forced to change locations (and main events) after the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) conflicted with the planning of the event.
The "Mineirinho" arena is the largest indoor arena in Brazil and can hold approximately 25,000 fans.
"It is great for our fans and for the UFC to be able to stage events in new parts of Brazil," Marshall Zelaznik, UFC Managing Director of International Development, stated in a press release. "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. Not only has Mineirinho received some major acts through the years, but it is also located in a central and touristic area of the city. It will certainly be a fantastic experience for the fans."
In addition to Belfort vs. Silva 2, the card will feature the featherweight and middleweight finals of TUF: Brazil, Fabricio Werdum vs. Mike Russow and more fights to be announced in the coming weeks.

Rich Franklin Gets Call to Face Wanderlei Silva In UFC 147 Main Event
UFC 147 has its main event, and the promotion has called upon one of its most loyal employees to make it happen. Rich Franklin has accepted the challenge to fight Wanderlei Silva on short notice, the promotion confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.
The fight, still scheduled as a five-rounder, will be contested at a 190-pound catch weight.
Franklin is replacing Vitor Belfort, who broke his hand in training last week.
The bout will be a rematch of the UFC 99 main event, which Franklin won via unanimous decision. It marks Franklin's return to action after 16 months off from the octagon.
His last two fights have both come as a light-heavyweight. His most recent was at UFC 126 in Feb. 2011, when he lost to Forrest Griffin by unanimous decision. Prior to that, he knocked out Chuck Liddell at UFC 115.
Franklin had been scheduled to fight at UFC 133 last August but was pulled from the card after an injury to his scheduled opponent, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Not long after, Franklin had shoulder surgery that his kept him out of action since. He had been expected to return in the summer against Cung Le at UFC 148.
He'll have just over three weeks to prepare for Silva at the June 23 event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil's Estádio Jornalista Felipe Drumond. Few other matches have been announced for the event, which will host the finals of the Brazilian edition of TUF.
In one, heavyweight contender Fabricio Werdum will take on Mike Russow as the show's co-main event. Another will pit featherweights Yuri Alcantara and Hacran Dias.

Armoedige hoofdpartij.
Voor Werdum ga ik wel kijken.

Als Werdum van Russow verliest dan kijk ik nooit meer mma.

ga het lot nou niet testen door zulke rare uitspraken te posten
als werdum echt verliest en alistair overeem moet door een wonder invallen voor cain ga jij mij vertellen dat je die party niet ga kijken omdat werdum van een dwaas verliest (wat in mma altijd kan gebeuren) 1 lucky shot van een heavyweight met die kleine handschoenen
Ik neem ook aan dat Werdum hier niet veel moeite mee zal hebben.
Hij heeft al tegen heavy hitter Nelson gestaan en tegen Overeem.
Ik gok op een mooie triangle choke.
UFC 147 Main Card Changed After Injury to TUF Brazil Finalist Daniel Sarafian
With less than one week to go until showtime, the setbacks to UFC 147 have yet to slow down.
This time, it's the Ultimate Fighter Brazil's middleweight title match that has been hit, as finalist Daniel Sarafian is unable to compete after suffering an arm injury. Instead, his spot will go to the man that he defeated in the semifinals, Sergio Moraes.
Moraes will square off with Cesar Mutante in the new middleweight final.
While the TUF Brazil finalists are not widely known to the worldwide UFC audience, the lost final is just another is a string of issues that have plagued a show that was once expected to be one of the biggest in UFC history.
It was originally designed as a starring vehicle for the long-awaited Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen rematch, bound for a soccer stadium that would hold upwards of 50,000 fans. Those plans were soon scrapped when a United Nations convention scheduled for the same week as the show in Rio brought pressure to move the event elsewhere.
The UFC did, moving it to Belo Horizonte, but sent the main event back to the United States, replacing it with a Vitor Belfort vs. Wanderlei Silva matchup. That bout, too, would never make it to the starting gate, as Belfort broke his hand in training and was eventually replaced by Rich Franklin.
Sarafian had stormed through the TUF Brazil middleweight bracket, winning each of his last two fights by finish -- one by KO, one by submission. Unfortunately, he'll have to wait to make his official octagon debut.
Below is the amended UFC 147 card.
