Simon further reports that UFC 140 is likely for December 10 in Montreal
The Ultimate Fighting Championship will likely be holding UFC 140 in Montreal on December 10, 2011 at the Bell Centre. UFC Director of Operations, Tom Wright, appeared Wednesday night on Ringside Report Radio and confirmed plans for UFC 140 on December 10 in Montreal. We’ll do Vancouver on June 11 and then most likely we’ll be back in Montreal on December 10, Wright said.
While Wright stated that no final decisions have yet been made for UFC 140, he maintained that Montreal most likely hold an event in 2011. We know how important this market is to us and putting on great fights, Wright said. It’s a great venue (Bell Centre), it’s a great fan-base, it’s a great environment. The energy in that building is as good as any building in North America. We’ll always have a soft spot for Montreal.
According to Mike Chiappetta, Dana White just had a meeting with Diaz:
A little birdy tells me Nick Diaz just walked into a meeting with Dana White at the UFC offices.
