Better than UFC 200? UFC 198 sells 32,000 tickets in just 90 minutes

UFC 200 is expected to be the most talked-about pay-per-view (PPV) fight card of the year (see it), but UFC 198 looks to be giving it a run for its money.

The Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic-led heavyweight championship main event sits atop a line up featuring a who's-who of Brazilian superstars like Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort, Ronaldo Souza, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and Mauricio Rua, among others (full line up here).

UFC 198 takes place Sat., May 14, 2016, inside Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil.

"It was a dream come true having an event in this stadium and it's going to be a big success," UFC Brazilian executive Giovanni Decker said during Wednesday's press conference (via MMA Fighting).
