| Ultimate Fighting Championships UFC in Vancouver sells out in 30 minutes |
|
Tickets were scheduled to go on sale to the general public Thursday and it's unclear as to whether any tickets have been set aside for the public, or whether the entire ticket allocation has been sold out. Pricing in the secondary market was already up over CAN$400 on various sites online. The event will be the first Canadian UFC pay-per-view fight card outside of Montreal, which has held two events previously and is due to stage another on May 8 when Brazilian karate specialist Lyoto Machida and kickboxer Mauricia Rua fight for the light heavyweight title. Former champions Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell and Rich (Ace) Franklin are scheduled to headline the Vancouver fight card after Tito Ortiz was removed from the main event for undisclosed reasons. The Vancouver sell-out would be the fastest in UFC history, assuming all tickets are indeed sold. The fastest-selling event previously was Montreal's UFC 83 at the Bell Centre, which sold out just one minute into tickets being made available to the public. Other fights on the card include: Heavyweight bout: Mirko Filipović vs. Pat Barry Welterweight bout: Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago Welterweight bout: Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald Lightweight bout: Tyson Griffin vs. Evan Dunham Lightweight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman Heavyweight bout: Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel Welterweight bout: James Wilks vs. Peter Sobotta Welterweight bout: Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick Welterweight bout: Mike Pyle vs. Jesse Lennox
