The Octagon returns to Brazil on October 9 inside Jose Correa Arena in Sao Paulo. Hopefully for all concerned, “UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Shields” will garner better attendance and ratings than the last time the UFC ventured into jiu jitsu country.
Welterweights Demian Maia and Jake Shields headline the Fox Sports 1 broadcast. A pivotal 170-pound shootout with Erick Silva and Dong Hyun Kim serves as the co-featured attraction.
