Ed Soares says Dana White working hard to keep UFC 147 in Brazil

Anderson Silva’s manager Ed Soares told on Monday that the Chael Sonnen’s rematch against Anderson Silva is already signed for June 23, in Rio de Janeiro, but the plans could change.
“As of right now we have nothing confirmed (about a date and venue switch)," he said."Dana White says he’s trying to work out details in Brazil. A United Nations conference is going on the week of the fight. Originally it was in Sao Paulo so it wouldn’t affect it, but now that it’s in Rio they have to make the logistical adjustments. We don’t know if it will be moved. There’s a problem with getting enough hotels, and there’s possibly a problem with security. They’re trying to see if there’s hotels in the surrounding areas. They’re working out those details now and hopefully (we’ll know) by the end of this week, beginning of next week."
