[EmpireWF]

Nothing is official yet, not even the location of the show other than it being in Brazil and on June 16.

Originally planned for Sao Paulo, but local laws may prohibit it so the back-up plan is Rio.

Expected fights so far include....

Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen 2 for the 185 championship
Vitor Belfort vs. Wanderlei Silva in the coach's fight after TUF: Brazil
Fabricio Werdum vs. Mike Russow
Middleweight Finals from TUF: Brazil
Featherweight Finals from TUF: Brazil

Confirmed today: 80,000 seat soccer stadium in Rio for Silva-Sonnen 2.

May be a must buy show.
