VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Less than a month after city council gave it a two year trial, the UFC has decided on a date for its Vancouver debut. As News1130 first told you, UFC 115 will take place June 12th from GM Place.  It will be the UFC's fourth show in Canada, and just six weeks after a May 1st event in Montreal, the third in that city.

According to our own Geoff Rohoman in the News1130 Sports Centre, Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz could take place at the event.  It will be the third time the pair face off in the octagon.  Liddell and Ortiz are expected to fight at the conclusion of the 11th run of "The Ultimate Fighter" series, which debuts March 31 on Spike TV.
