- The UFC on Versus 2 show, scheduled for August 1st in Salt Lake City is moving locations. An announcement is expected soon, with the new location being San Diego. UFC on Versus 2 will be headlined by Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko.
Dave Meltzer has confirmed that the UFC on Versus 2 event will now be held at the San Diego Sports Arena. The UFC cited poor ticket sales in the Salt Lake market for the move.
This is big news as its the first time in a long time UFC has had to move due to poor sales, this is incredible as one of the hottest prospects in mma headlines the show.

Personally, I was shocked that they scheduled the event here, and even more shocked they scheduled it on a Sunday.
There's an old joke...why do you always take two mormons fishing? Because if you only take one, he'll drink all your beer.
Even though a lot of mormons would go to the UFC event on a Saturday....there's nothing in the religion that is anti-mma...there actually is an active mma scene here and some good fighters and gyms.....but on a Sunday, any active mormon isn't going to attend. Not only that, mormons are notoriously cheap, and having the event on Sunday gives a lot of fence-sitters the excuse not to go without saying they don't want to spend the cash. If the mormons had come first, the jews would be telling jokes about them.
You'd have to live here to understand....I'm surprised it was ever scheduled, and not the least bit surprised it's gone.
