Despite published online reports saying the UFC will head to Chicago in November, that will not be the case.
MMA Fighting spoke Wednesday to UFC vice president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner, who said those reports are not accurate and the promotion has not yet decided on a city or a venue for an expected Nov. 20 pay-per-view card.
“The circus is in town at the United Center,” Ratner said. “We’re looking at different venues – we had to wait for the NBA schedule to come out officially yesterday, and we’ll probably make a decision for Nov. 20 in the next week.”
MMA Bay Strikes Out Again, UFC 123 Not Coming To Chicago
This, of course, contradicts a popular rumor over the past few days that mainly stemmed from another case of MMA Bay’s famous “swing and a miss journalism.”
At some point the MMA community as a whole needs to just say “no more” and give up ever reporting anything MMA Bay reports. Just because they’re occasionally correct on a report (usually involving UK fights or fighters) does not mean that we should continue to overlook the fact that they are constantly wrong. No one should ever be willing to link to them on a story unless they are able to get verification on their own.
