|  Location Update on upcoming UFC events
Quote:
The UFC will, in fact, head to Portland, Ore., for a UFC 91 event on Nov. 15, and UFC President Dana White also confirmed the organization's traditional SuperBowl weekend card will take place on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.
As reported earlier this week, the UFC had been in talks with the Oregon State Athletic Commission to host an event at Portland's Rose Garden Arena. It'll be the UFC's first event in the state.
White confirmed that the upcoming event will feature a lightweight bout between contender Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson. He also gave an update on Wanderlei Silva.
Although Silva previously stated that he expected to return at the organization's year-end Dec. 27 card, White said the booking isn't a done deal and that he's "thinking [Silva's] not going to be on that (card) at this point."
The UFC's upcoming schedule now includes:
* UFC 88: Sept. 6 in Atlanta
* UFC 89: Oct. 18 in Birmingham, England
* UFC 90: Oct. 25 in Chicago
* UFC 91: Nov. 15 in Portland, Ore.
* The Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale: Dec. 13 in Las Vegas
* UFC 92: Dec. 27 in Las Vegas
* UFC 93: Jan. 31 in Las Vegas

too bad, but kinda expected it to be more than a year from the last one, so they can hit everyone up for Fight Club memberships again

I would assume that with the NYE and Super Bowl Vegas shows that one of them takes place at MGM Grand and the other one takes place at Mandalay Bay.

I grew up in Portland, OR. I would love to see my first live event there.

In our paper here in Oklahoma they quoted Dana as saying he hoped to come to Oklahoma City in 2009. I haven't heard that anywhere else though and it seems like they would do a Dallas event before/instead of here.

Kind of like how Colorado and Nebraska both got UFN's this year.

This is a side question, but I don't think another thread is necessary. Didn't the first page of the forum used to have upcoming events? Or were they listed somewhere else?
