UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami (also known as UFC Rio) was a mixed martial arts (MMA) pay-per-view event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on August 27, 2011 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3][4] The event was the second that the UFC has hosted in Brazil, since 1998's UFC 17.5: Ultimate Brazil. UFC 134 was awarded the 2011 event of the year by Sherdog.

Background

UFC 1, 2, and 4 Tournament winner Royce Gracie was briefly linked to the event, but the rumors were refuted by UFC president Dana White.[5]

Maiquel Falcão was scheduled [6] to take on Tom Lawlor at this event, but was released from the promotion in regard to a 2002 assault charge.[7] Lawlor was instead moved to UFC 139 to take on Chris Weidman.[8]

Mackens Semerzier was expected to face Iuri Alcântara at the event,[9] but was replaced by UFC newcomer Antonio Carvalho.[10] However, Carvalho was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by newcomer Felipe Arantes.[11]

Alexandre Ferreira was expected to face Rousimar Palhares at this event.[12] However, Ferreira was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Dan Miller.[13]

Mike Swick was scheduled to make his return against debuting Erick Silva on this card. However, Swick had to withdraw from the bout due to a knee injury and was replaced by Luis Ramos.[14]

This event was awarded Sherdog's 2011 Event of the Year.[15]

Broadcasting

UFC 134 featured two preliminary fights live on Spike TV in the US.[16] The UFC 134 Live Prelims aired on Spike TV and were simultaneously broadcast on the digital sign above the Doubletree Hotel in the "Little Brazil" section of Times Square in New York City.[17]

The entire card, including preliminary fights, was broadcast in Brazil through Pay-per-view channel Globosat Combate, and the main card was also broadcast by RedeTV!,[18] marking the UFC's Brazilian broadcast television debut. Joe Rogan did not do commentary for this event because of a prior commitment. Kenny Florian substituted as a commentator instead.[19]
