Planned March event in Las Vegas removed from UFC schedule
For the second time in 2017, a planned UFC event has been scrapped by the organization.
Officials confirmed a card scheduled for Las Vegas on March 3, which was to serve as UFC Fight Night 106, will no longer take place.
The card was to serve as a lead-in for the UFC 209 pay-per-view event the following night at T-Mobile Arena.
It had been announced in November, but no fights or venue had ever been officially announced.
The organization previously postponed a scheduled pay-per-view event that had been set for Jan. 21 in Anaheim, California. The city will instead get an event on Aug. 5
UFC 209, which will be headlined by a welterweight title rematch between Stephen Thompson and champion Tyron Woodley, will still go on as scheduled.
