UFC 142 main card set with five bouts
The main card for the UFC's return trip to Brazil is set.
The show takes place Jan. 14 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, and Brazilian UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (20-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) meets Chad Mendes in the championship headliner (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
Four other fights – with four other Brazilian fighters – are slated for the pay-per-view lineup.
Those bouts include middleweights Vitor Belfort (20-9 MMA, 9-4 UFC) vs. Anthony Johnson (10-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC), middleweights Rousimar Palhares (13-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) vs. Mike Massenzio (13-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC), welterweights Siyar Bahadurzada (20-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Erick Silva Silva (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), and lightweights Terry Etim (15-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) vs. Edson Barboza (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC).
The UFC recently returned to Brazil in August for UFC 134. It was the UFC's first show in the country since UFC 17.5 ("UFC: Ultimate Brazil"). The event sold out in just 74 minutes, and the UFC has vowed frequent return trips in the coming years.
