Up to 70,000 fans are expected to fill up the Etihad Stadium today in Melbourne, Australia to watch UFC 193: Rousey Vs Holm, and officials have issued a statement today regarding security concerns after last night’s orchestrated terrorist attack in Paris which left over a hundred people dead.

Word of the Paris attacks, which included an assault on a theatre venue with guns and explosives that was to take the lives of at least 80 people, began to spread around the time the UFC 193 weigh-ins were taking place yesterday.

The incident has shocked the world and so even thousands of miles away in Australia, Within hours of the attack a joint statement from the UFC and the Etihad Stadium had been released to reassure fans that they were taking every precaution to ensure their safety at the venue.
