With UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro set to take place on Saturday, the Las Vegas-based promotion has already confirmed its next trip to Brazil.

Sherdog.com has confirmed with a source close to the Las Vegas-based promotion that the UFC will hold an event in Sao Paulo at Ibirpuera Gymnasium on Sept. 22. No fights have been announced for the card, which will likely be a UFC Fight Night.

Including the upcoming card, the Las Vegas-based organization has held a total of seven events in Sao Paulo. Most recently, UFC Fight Night 119 took place in Sao Paulo on Oct. 28 and saw Derek Brunson take a first-round knockout victory over Lyoto Machida in the evening’s main event.
