With all of the Brazilian fighters expected to be in attendance(including UFC legend Royce Gracie), I think it's safe to say that the announcement will involve the UFC returning back to Brazil to host an event. The UFC has held one event in Brazil known as UFC Ultimate Brazil which took place in October 1998. This is the event in which a young Vitor Belfort blizted Wanderlei Silva in less than a minute to win via TKO.

There making the official announcement:
- If Silva gets past Belfort, and Shogun defends the takedown well which will ensure a victory against Rashad Evans THEN Silva will permanently move up to 205lbs. and face Shogun in Rio in Summer 2011. I WISH.
- Or. Realizing that there will be an influx of money coming from the Olympics and the World Cup, the UFC will begin setting annual PPV cards in Rio and sponsoring some Gracie World BJJ Tournament.
- Rickson Gracie will return to competition for a one-shot fight against . . . ???

I can’t really doodle at work without drawing suspicion so I write and crap tends to come out. I try to keep it entertaining.
I’m waiting to see Rickson pop up in another Hollywood blockbuster film.
