Brazil's first international-standard multi-use venue, complete with helipad, bars and parking for one thousand cars, is one of the most adaptable of the kind, with fully retractable stands to cater for the biggest stars or more intimate corporate events. Global bands from Ozzy Osbourne to Oasis have graced the HSBC stage in recent times, but August 2011's visit from the UFC fighters was one of the most eagerly-anticipated events in the arena's history and lived up to the billing, with Dana White calling it the loudest event in UFC history.
