The UFC is gearing up for its seventh and final trip of the year to the MMA-crazed country of Brazil as “UFC Fight Night 32: Belfort vs. Henderson 2” is slated to go down this Saturday night.

The event takes place from Goiania Arena in Goiania and airs on FOX Sports 1 with preliminary card action streaming on MMAjunkie.com.

In the headlining act, familiar foes will run it back for a second time as former UFC champion Vitor Belfort will attempt to avenge an October 2006 defeat to former multi-division PRIDE champ Dan Henderson.

Henderson (29-10 MMA, 6-4 UFC) won the initial matchup against Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) by unanimous decision, but more than seven years later, both men are vastly different fighters and the rematch is almost certain to look like an entirely different affair.

Beyond the headliner scheduled for five rounds, the event is a classic for Brazil as the card is littered with matchups between local and foreign talent.

It wouldn’t be a facts article for a UFC show in Brazil without sharing the latest tally for matchups featuring fighters from the country against those from around the world, and the current count sits at 59 to 20 in favor of Brazilian fighters.

That’s a fact.

However, that’s not the only fact relevant to Saturday’s card, as with the help of FightMetric, we have 30 pre-fight facts for UFC Fight Night 32.

MAIN EVENT

Belfort’s 11 first-round finishes under the UFC banner are the most by any fighter in history. “The Phenom” has defeated his opponent by knockout or submission in all 12 of his UFC victories.

Belfort returns to the light heavyweight division for the first time since a fourth-round submission loss to Jon Jones at UFC 152 in September 2012.

Belfort’s only career defeats come to fighters who have won a tournament championship or held an undisputed championship in the UFC, PRIDE or Strikeforce.

Belfort is undefeated (4-0) in his UFC career when fighting in his home country of Brazil.

Belfort is the only fighter in UFC history to win back-to-back fights with a knockout stemming from a head kick.

Belfort is one of five fighters in UFC history to earn two knockouts stemming from a single kick to the head (Anthony Johnson, Paul Taylor, Yves Edwards, Lyoto Machida).

Belfort’s four career “Knockout of the Night” bonuses are tied with Roy Nelson, Lyoto Machida and Chris Leben for the second most in UFC history.

Henderson, 43, is the oldest active fighter on the UFC roster.

Henderson is 2-3 in UFC main event fights throughout his career.

Henderson has not finished his opponent in any of his seven UFC light heavyweight contests.

Henderson is the only fighter in UFC/PRIDE/Strikeforce history to hold two different weight class titles simultaneously, once reigning as the Pride welterweight (183-pound) and middleweight (205-pound) champion.

Henderson has beaten 10 former UFC/PRIDE/Strikeforce champions throughout his MMA career.

Henderson has earned 17 total knockdowns in his UFC/PRIDE/Strikeforce career, fourth only behind Mirko Filipovic (18), Anderson Silva (18) and Wanderlei Silva (27) in the combined history of the three promotions.

Henderson has landed 87.5 percent of his takedowns from the clinch in UFC/PRIDE/Strikeforce competition. His 48 takedowns landed in the three promotions are the fourth most ever by a fighter competing at 183 pounds or higher.

Henderson’s 31 takedowns landed in his PRIDE career were the most of any fighter in the now-defunct promotion’s history.

Henderson’s 942 total strikes landed in his PRIDE career were the fifth-most in the promotion’s history.

Henderson’s 42.9 percent takedown accuracy is tied for third among active UFC light heavyweights (tied for sixth in 205-pound history).

Henderson’s average fight time of 19:00 as a UFC light heavyweight is the longest in company history.

CO-MAIN EVENT

Cezar Ferreira (6-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Daniel Sarafian (8-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) face each other in a fight originally scheduled for “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” finale at UFC 147. Sarafian withdrew from the contest and Ferreira defeated Sergio Moraes for the six-figure UFC contract.

Ferreira’s 47-second submission of Thiago Santos at UFC 163 was the third fastest in UFC middleweight history (Rory Singer def. Ross Pointon, TUF 3 Finale, 0:44; Rousimar Palhares def. Thomasz Drwal, UFC 111, 0:45).

REMAINING MAIN CARD

Rafael Cavalcante (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has defeated his opponent by knockout or submission in all 11 of his professional victories. The Brazilian has been knocked out in three of his four career defeats.

Cavalcante’s four knockout victories under the Strikeforce banner were tied for the second most in history. Cung Le led the category with seven knockout wins.

Igor Pokrajac‘s (25-10 MMA, 4-5 UFC) landed 62 less significant strikes than Fabio Maldonado in his decision win at UFC on FUEL TV 3. The minus -2 strike differential represents the greatest deficit by a winner fighter in a UFC fight.

Brandon Thatch (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has finished his opponent by first-round knockout or submission in all 10 of his career victories.

Paulo Thiago (15-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) enters the event with a 2-4 record in his past six UFC fights after starting his career with the promotion with a 3-1 record.

Rony Jason‘s (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) submission of Mike Wilkinson at 1:24 of Round 1 at UFC on FUEL TV 10 was the fifth fastest submission in UFC/WEC featherweight history.

Jeremy Stephens‘ (21-9 MMA, 8-8 UFC) four knockout victories as a UFC lightweight are the fourth most in divisional history. His seven knockdowns landed are tied for the third most in 155-pound history.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Thiago Tavares (17-5-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC) returns from a nine-month suspension after testing positive for banned substances in his UFC on FX 7 loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in January.
