The UFC should return to the Northeast of Brazil at the beginning of 2014. After holding an edition in Fortaleza, in June 2013, the city of Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte, should be the organization's next stop.
After a few weeks of speculation, Fabio Maldonado announced on his Facebook account that his next engagement in the Octagon will be in the 'City of the Sun'.
“My opponent…. It will be at UFC Natal, in March”, wrote Maldonado, citing the fighter’s profile Gian Villante, who will be his opponent in Rio Grande do Norte.
Despite speculation and Maldonado's announcement, the Ultimate organization has not yet made the event official in Natal.
