History

[edit]

Ultimate Brazil was the first appearance of the UFC in Brazil, and the second UFC event to take place outside the US. The event was arranged through the initiative of Sérgio Batarelli, formerKickboxing andVale Tudo fighter, promoter of theInternational Vale Tudo Championship, WVC (World Vale Tudo Championship) and manager of multiple Brazilian MMA fighters.[1]Ultimate Brazil marked the first UFC event (other thanUFC 9) to not utilize the tournament format which, aside fromUFC 23, was abandoned completely in following events. The event featured the first ever UFC Lightweight Championship fight, as well as a Middleweight Championship fight.

Ultimate Brazil was part one of what the UFC called "The Road To The Heavyweight Title" (not to be confused with theevent of the same name), a tournament of sorts, spanning four events, to crown the new UFC Heavyweight Champion followingRandy Couture's relinquishing of the belt.

UFC Brazil marked the first appearance ofPedro Rizzo, who would go on to become a top UFC heavyweight contender. The event also featured the first UFC appearance of futurePRIDEMiddleweight ChampionWanderlei Silva in a fight against formerUFC 12 heavyweight tournament champion and futureUFC Light Heavyweight ChampionVitor Belfort. Belfort became the first person to knock Silva out, with an impressive 44 second knockout after a barrage of punches.
