The city of Porto Alegre could be the stage, in 2013, for the biggest event in UFC history. According to Carlos Eduardo Paes Barreto, director of the new Grêmio Stadium, Ultimate's directors have already approached the club from Rio Grande do Sul to negotiate the holding of a fight program there.
“We received proposals from the UFC. We held some meetings to discuss this issue. At the appropriate time, we will provide more details on the subject”, commented Carlos Eduardo.

With capacity to accommodate 60 people, the arena, which opened last Saturday, has enough space to break the organization's attendance record. UFC 129, held in April 2011, leads the list of the biggest Ultimate audiences of 55 thousand fans at the Rogers Centre, in Toronto, Canada.

“We have already spoken with the UFC to understand the demand, feasibility and how the public could view fights in an arena of this size”, added the director.

Mau opened and is already earning big!! Congratulations Grêmio!! This is Grêmio! Teaching others!!!
There was already a Saturday at the inauguration, what a shame that was
IT WAS INAUGURATED IN A HURRY SO THE PRESIDENT WHO BATTLED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT COULD INAUGURATE AS THE PRESIDENT. IF WE HAD TO WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR, HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPENING THE STADIUM THAT FIGHTED SO LONG TO BE BUILT.
The mule!!! There is nothing closed or you didn't read the article correctly..
bahh earning big… ahhahaha
Little do you know that for the next 20 years, Grêmio earns absolutely nothing for the stadium.
hahahahahaha
My God, go to hospital… find out about the contract before writing nonsense on the internet!… Grêmio has not gained anything from the Arena for 20 years; There has never been greater nonsense than this...
I think you didn't see it lol
5.1 – box office results of all events held;
5.2 – 100% of income from championship and friendly matches;
5.3 – 100% of the income from games that Grêmio is entitled to in its opponents’ stadiums, and other income described below;
(Clause Three – items 3.4, 3.9 and 3.9.1 of the contract)
6. Grêmio is obliged to only use the Arena for all its
championship games, tournaments and friendlies, due to the fact that the income belongs to
OAS.
(Clause Three – items 3.5 and 3.5.1 of the contract)
How much nonsense are you talking about, does GREMIO receive a percentage of profits? I don't think you know what that is. And there's another thing: OAS's contract with GREMIO IS PUBLIC, Now REMENDÃO's is secret, no one knows what is written...
My friend, the company OAS is entitled to only 30% of revenue for 20 years. It will be good for everyone.
Grêmio takes 40% and OAS 60% if you inform yourself correctly.
I guess my dear, 35% of the profits belong to Grêmio and 65% to OAS, or vice versa, I don't remember.
..It is 35% of the revenue for OAS and 65% for Grêmio.
Congratulations Gremio. The sale of the boxes alone pays for the investment.
This event is great and the Gremio arena is barely over!
This is Brazil and anything is already a party, that's why we have a lot of thieving politicians.
Timão, with its own resources, built the Arena, which is already starting to produce positive results for us fans…
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO THIS BOY (BAGADÁ) IS REFERRING TO (WHEN TALKING ABOUT OWN RESOURCES), OR HE WORKS FOR CONSTRUCTORA OAS, OR HE'S NOT A GREMIO FAN, OR HE'S A TOTALLY ALIENATE GUY.
He meant without public money.
As my master PAULO COUTO, mathematics professor, would say. Now let's learn a little rule of ARITHIMETIC: PERCENTAGE or PERCENTAGE. 65% for GRÊMIO and 35% for OAS. Who is the real MAJORITY owner?

Lula's own resources?
The guild arena did not use public money.
Own resources??? HAHAHAHAHA
Well, the year ended with a great joke!!!!
It's great to read posts from envious guys hehehehe. bunch of clueless...
Will the main fight be SAIMON X LOSS??
hahaha
You have to create different things because the main thing is bad, football.
You're right Antonio Marques, Inter is doing well, great team, great campaign and organized. I almost forgot, especially playing in a stadium that offers conditions to its fans. That's right, you're absolutely right...Inter is an example!
It looks like they are already trying to invite Dinho to one of the fights.
Well, how could Charles…
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Dale Saimon!
THE REAL OWNER HAS ALREADY STARTED MAKING PROFIT AND WE ALL KNOW IT’S NOT ABOUT GRÊMIO…
Newton, 70% of the profits belong to Grêmio and 30% to OAS, this is public and well-known. Now, in the new patch, does anyone know how much will be left for the former owner and how much will go to Andrade Gutierrez?
There's nothing like making an educated guess without knowing the facts, just to try to narrow down the facts.
I think you'd better look at the Gre-nal duo's contracts!!!
Or do you not have the courage????
Go take care of your hole, sucker!!!!

Dude, don't you know how to read, read the newspaper, see what a contract says or are you pretending to be blind?
65% of all profits from the event that takes place at the Arena belong to Grêmio.
so much envy, don't make it so that your team's patch contract is exactly the same….20 years paying a percentage….am I lying?
Get informed before speaking.
65% of the revenue comes from Grêmio, the other 35% comes from OAS.
Your team, even with public money, will not reach the feet of this stadium.
Quite repressed.
how much envy, what a pain in the neck huh….
And how is the AG patch going? 330 million for that gambiarra, in 20 years it will just be written off… hahaha
If you have water and keep the grass as it is, it's already good for playing football!
Already that potreiro of yours? What a great stadium, huh, but the pitch!
“We all know” comma….only you still think like that because you are uninformed!!! A little reading is good, and prevents us from talking nonsense!!
Okay, and who is the owner??? inter, Mazembe??
There are people who don't know the meaning of partnership, even though they keep a smaller part of the profit from the event, this is already much more than what we had in the Olympics, not to mention that even with the partnership the association will make a profit in all the games, something that in the olimpico only had it when the stadium was full... and apart from the heritage of a R$ 600 million stadium that in 20 years will be entirely owned by the club... without a team partnership, no one in Brazil will build a stadium like that
In the case of the chorolado, the big winner will be Andrade Gutierrez, then. The partnership was made along the same lines as Arena, o/t/á/r/i/o.
A lie told several times seems true, the Grezembistas insist that the stadium is theirs, but they will only play there when the OAS has nothing to bring more money into its coffers.
Newton, who is the real owner? Does the saint count but not the miracle? Hug.
THE REAL OWNER IS GRÊMIO. IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT, WAIT TO SEE THE TEAM THAT GÊMIO WILL BUILD WITH THE PROFITS FROM THE ARENA!!
Envy kills man.
take care of your patchwork.
Seriously, the stadium belongs to OAS, the construction company that will rent it to Grêmio for 20 years and the collection from events at the stadium will all be from OAS, congratulations on the beautiful stadium as well as the city of Porto Alegre which has two First World Stadiums of the greatness of RS
It was already Saturday at the inauguration of the arena, what a shame about that lol
Newton is extremely uninformed or malicious, I haven't come to a conclusion yet. During the next 20 years, 100% of the Arena's revenue will come from Grêmio. After this period, 65% of Grêmio; 35% of OAS. As simple as that, any literate person, capable of reading newspapers, contracts and the like, can discern it.
Elbow pain must be really bad... I can't watch news about Grêmio without someone UNHAPPY making a bad guess... but on the other hand I understand, those who didn't have a team to support and life was just drying up Grêmio... get out OLHO GORDO
For those who are a little out of the loop, Grêmio takes 65% of everything raised at the Arena. China business.
For those who are out of the loop, Grêmio receives 65% of everything raised from the Arena. Now that's an enterprise.
Just the fact that the words “Arena do Grêmio” and “biggest UFC in history” are in the same sentence already brings profit to Grêmio.
The money that will be paid is a mere consequence.
I'm not from Rio Grande do Sul, but congratulations to Grêmio, I saw the opening party, the stadium is beautiful, everything is very organized, first world. so jealous.
Newton, I'll teach you arithmetic: 65% for Grêmio and 35% for OAS. Who is the real MAJORITY owner?
THE REAL OWNER HAS ALREADY STARTED MAKING PROFIT AND WE ALL KNOW IT’S NOT ABOUT GRÊMIO… 2
If it were up to them they would still be in Azenha.
Dude, it's going to bother you man, you forgot that Inter had a loan request denied by Banrisul to do the repairs, and your construction company was dropping out, so they made a contract practically donating the stadium just to say that they're doing something at the stadium, jealous of the guild, let's see the situation of the arena in 20 years and that of the mendão in 20 years, it will make you sick...
Bah, what a beauty. Who knows, maybe we'll celebrate a title in our stadium. Even if it's Junior Cigano or Spyder.
The guys don't know how to read, read the newspaper, see what a contract says or they pretend to be blind.
65% of all profits from the event that takes place at the Arena belong to Grêmio. And it comes in color here to mean the opposite.
which newspaper? Zero Hora, from the RBS group, which includes MAIJOMA, which helped build the arena? You're a fool who believes that! The smart guy, if the arena belongs to Grêmio, why does he have to pay for the members to enter??? The president himself, in an interview with the radio that you believe (Gaúcha) in June, said that the arena does not belong to the guild! and the 65% you talk about concerns football matches (ticket office). other events all the income comes from OAS… the lack of titles must have affected you….
WE WANT FOOTBALL – ARENA, it is for gladiators and death for Christians.
Wow... you can invite some guys from General to the preliminary fights...
Give him Grêmio.
The biggest UFC in history was the last Grenal
At least the UFC doesn't depend on grass?
Because what a mess for someone who spent more than half a billion!
A fighting event in a football stadium? What a mistake, how are the guys in the upper stands going to see anything?
On the big screens? I prefer to watch at home!
haha, the ibira guy doesn't even know what he's talking about! I haven’t been to an ARENA yet to see the quality of the vision everywhere…
It's one thing to watch football and another to fight!
Will you be able to see the details of an arm lock?
It is not the same as taking a throw-in or a penalty
For those who went to the Arena, which is my case, you know what it's like to watch an event from both the lower and the upper… sorry friend, but it's a stadium where you can't see properly! Oh! I've been to a few Gre-nais and I know what I'm saying….
The reindeer will only be from Grêmio in 20 years, so the blue ones will have to pay to play!
Dude, all you have to do is have a GREMIO HEADLINE and the colorful baba-eggs will appear hahaha
Beating up the last GRENAL!
Beating at the opening of the Arena!
Now fight between brutes.
tsc tsc tsc!!!
GREMIO and UFC. World-renowned entities, and united for the greatest fight spectacle, in the most MODERN and BEAUTIFUL stadium in Brazil. And make him jealous of the colorful ones on duty. I even envy the contract that Grêmio made with OAS. They learned what the world of football is like from 2006 to 2010, and they think they can say something about Grêmio. They're really pathetic...
and the UFC itself will have to ask OAS…
Words from Fábio Koff – President of Grêmio: “The Arena is not and will not be Grêmio’s. It belongs to OAS, Grêmio will have no other assets. NOT 1 METER. Grêmio will have to pay for its members to enter the games, everything around it is OAS property, Grêmio will have to ask for permission to train”.
Thank you for posting the message.
Due to the delay in yesterday's publication, I thought it was a Grêmio member mediating the publications.
Congratulations on your impartiality… here in the South it’s like that: extreme rivalry!!
wake up avalanche boy. In 2006, Inter were already three-time Brazilian champions, something that Gremio (which closed in 2001) is still not today... but congratulations, you are renting a beautiful stadium.
known worldwide.. kkkkkkkkk..hauahauah… potato plantation?? this is very good.....
Oops, the Gremistas didn't read the contract. The group has rights to the arena (65% of tickets) only in games in which it plays. Other events are solely and exclusively from OAS……
When will the Arena open?
Not because that was just for political reasons!
The stadium wasn't ready and they opened it anyway, did you see the news in the German newspapers? lack of water, electricity and grass that looked like a potato field! Is this the image that the club is conveying to the rest of the world?
Why didn't RBS write an article about the problems? Did they do a masterful job but forgot the details?
ARENA’s profits are divided as follows:
65% = Grêmio + 7 million annually (bonus paid by OAS)
35% = OAS
EX:
Projected profit for the first year: 120 million
Grêmio: 78 million + 7 million (OAS bonus) = 85 million
OAS: 42 million
Realize that it's a great deal for both of you. Because Grêmio leaves a financially deficient stadium (Olímpico) and goes to a very profitable one. And OAS recovers its investment (600 million) over the 20 years of the contract, in addition to receiving from Grêmio the Olympic area valued at 50 million.
I don't even like ufc... I'm not even into the gremio arena... I'm just here to laugh at the comments and a bunch of crazy people insulting each other over what doesn't lead to anything... haha... meanwhile the fifteenth salary of the deputies is being approved and no one argues anything..
Gentlemen, what matters is that we will have two great
stadiums at our disposal with all the comfort we deserve, GREMISTAS OR COLORADOS, we really have
is that we change our behavior, because otherwise we will have
to rent stadiums on the outskirts for professionals to play
matches, since the fans(some elements unable to behave in public) continue with these
demonstrations of war that lead nowhere. Let's hope,
demand, and sing our team songs.
hugs,
reivax
I'm an old Grêmio fan – 63 years old. I feel injured as a Grêmio member by this “Arena do Gremio”, which is not Grêmio’s. Dr. Helio Dourado warned of this deception 5 or 6 years ago. Some Grêmio fans fell for him. Now look: We no longer have a stadium. The guild pays 20 million a year to OS, for members to watch the games; Olimpico was valued at, believe me, only 50 million. We owe 800 million. Grêmio doesn't run anything in the "Arena do Gremio", and certainly many other scams that only time will clarify. What a wonderful deal. With the delivery of the Olimpico, they destroyed the soul and pride of the true Grêmio fans. These Grêmio fans who only know how to applaud Paulo Odone & Cia's desires for greatness are doing Grêmio harm. But now it's too late. I think we're going to become a teammate. I am very disappointed with all of this. It's regrettable. Hugs from a Grêmio fan.
