It was revealed that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will defend his belt against Chael Sonnen on July 7th at UFC 148 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is big news as it was widely believed the defense would occur at UFC 147 on June 23rd, in Silva’s stomping grounds of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. UFC President Dana White said during a news conference in Rio de Janeiro that ”We wanted to do the fight here (Brazil) in a soccer stadium”, and “First we tried Sao Paulo, then we tried some stuff done in Rio”.
What this does to the main event is simple, it gives the home field advantage....
