Video analysis: UFC announces it's hitting Brazil in 2011

The UFC will continue its worldwide expansion in 2011. The promotion will hit a nation that already produces some of the best fighters in the world. Now it's time to make more money from the Brazilian MMA fanbase and build the sport even further. Dana White and UFC president Lorenzo Fertitta were in Brazil today to announce the UFC will hold a fight card in Aug. of 2011 in Rio de Janeiro.

Who will be on the fight card? Could it be the capper to Season 13 of "The Ultimate Fighter" with coaches Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva meeting in "The Axe Murderer's" homeland? Why now? Yahoo's lead MMA writer Kevin Iole answers those questions. Iole said the presser had an impressive collection of legends, current and future, on hand.
