A well-placed UFC source told MMAjunkie.com that the promotion has penciled in June 12 as the date for an event in Vancouver, B.C. at the 19,000-seat GM Place.
Back in December, the promotion cleared a legislative hurdle in holding an event within the city limits of the 2010 Winter Olympic host site; the Vancouver city council agreed to sanction events as part of a two-year pilot program.
Although the city has just reopened its doors to the sport, several MMA gyms thrive in the area, including Revolution Fight Team, where UFC vets Bill Mahood and Denis Kang have trained.
No match-ups are rumored for the June 12 event, which follows the UFC’s third annual trip to Montreal’s Bell Centre on May 1. After hosting just two Canadian shows to date, the UFC now plans to do two Canadian shows in a mere six-week span.
