UFC FIGHT NIGHT 70 — SAT. JUN. 27, 2015 MACHIDA VS. ROMERO
At the HARD ROCK CASINO
The event was originally expected to be held at the Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil.[7] However on May 15, the event was moved to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.[6] This is the first time a Ultimate Fighter Brazil Finale will be held outside of Brazil.
The event was expected to be headlined by a welterweight bout between Rick Story and Erick Silva.[8] However, due to the venue change, the bout was moved to the co-main event spot and the event will now be headlined by a middleweight bout between former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero.[6]
Also featured on the card will be the lightweight and bantamweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4.[9]
