UFC 115 Event In Vancouver May Be In Jeopardy | MMARising.com

this is old but i just saw a realible facebook page say it's off and possibly going to cincinatti, but the page just copy and pasted the text not the link but here it is any way:


The planned June 12th UFC show in Vancouver, Canada appears to have bitten the dust today after months of wrangling with city officials, with the promotion already on the hunt for a new host city for the event.

A source told The Canadian Press that the show has been called off and that Cincinnati is one possible replacement city. A separate source confirmed the two sides hadn’t managed to resolve “insurance and other indemnification matters”.

UFC President, Dana White refused to comment on the situation

A planned UFC show set for June in Vancouver is on the ropes, apparently due to insurance and other issues.

A source told The Canadian Press that the show has been called off and the mixed martial arts promoter is looking at Cincinnati as a possible replacement city. The UFC has not officially announced the Vancouver card, other than to say that it planned to go there in June. The show had been pegged for June 12 at GM Place.

UFC president Dana White said he could not comment on any issues affecting Vancouver. But a second source said the two sides had yet to resolve insurance and other indemnification matters.

Vancouver councillor Kerry Jang said while the city has not yet confirmed the cancellation of the show, he assumes it is going to Cincinnati.

"It's disappointing but not really surprising given the hurdles we had to cross over with issues of liability and insurance," Jang said.

"This would not be a problem if province would have just done what Quebec does, indemnify the city. They've not done that yet, they pass it back to us, and if people want UFC in Vancouver they better go talk to the province about what Quebec does."

While the UFC has convinced more than 40 U.S. states to create or amend legislation sanctioning the sport, the situation in Canada is far murkier.

The Criminal Code offers an exemption of sorts to boxing but not mixed martial arts and that apparently is the sticking point in Vancouver, where the city wants adequate protection in terms of insurance.

Across the country, there is a hodgepodge of provinces and jurisdictions that permit the sport. Vancouver was one of them until city council withdrew its support while the matter was studied further.

In December, Vancouver city councillors voted 6-3 to approve a two-year trial period for MMA, opening the door for a UFC show that could generate millions for the local economy.
