UFC eyeing summer 2011 return to Vancouver

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - It's been almost four months since the UFC came to Vancouver.  Today UFC Canada President Tom Wright will meet with the City of Vancouver about a future card at Rogers Arena.

News1130 spoke with Wright, who wouldn't confirm it's coming back, but hinted strongly at a possible summer show.  "We have these meetings all the time, to make sure we're on the same page, so that we can move forward and hopefully have a situation where all the events leading up to the 2011 card are managed more smoothly.  We're well ahead of things right now - it's only the month of October, so we are six to nine months ahead of things."

The UFC brought their MMA show to Vancouver this past June, headlined by a fight between Chuck Liddell and Rich Franklin.
