vancouver ufc decision tomorrow A.M.
 

Heard today that the city of vancouver will decide tomorrow whether or not to sanction mma. If it goes ahead (sounds promising), likely we'll see an event for june 2010, GSP is rumoured to headline (assuming no significant injuries from Hardy fight)
Hope this goes through! ufc in my backyard would be sweet!

The city? or the province?

That would be cool. Put pressure on Ontario to step up.

The province would have to do it, they do have MMA events in Chiliwack but I think they say they are exhibitions to get away with it.

it's official....ufc is coming to vancouver next year. expected date is early june. UFC will announce a firm date in the coming weeks. Glad to see there are now 2 venues for Canadian events.
