UFC's Vancouver Gig Cancelled

It looks like the UFC won't be going to Vancouver in June after all.
A source says the show has been called off and the mixed martial arts promoter is looking at Cincinnati as a possible replacement city.
The Vancouver card was slated for June 15 at GM Place and the UFC lobbied hard to get the city to open its doors to the sport.
But it appears the deal fell through because the UFC and the city could not reach an agreement on other details around the show.
The UFC has already held two shows in Montreal and is pressing to have Ontario sanction the sport.

I think people should lobby for Saskatchewan to get a proper "fighting" commission to sanction events like this. EXCUSE ME we now have a 15,000 seat arena suited to an event like this. Screw T-Dot...
