More likely to be relocated to Vegas if Abu Dhabi can't sort an arena out, especially since Strikeforce are now trying to book a Vegas show the same date.

Yeah looks like abu dhabi have got it sorted out, was announced by Marshall Zelaznik (uk ufc president) that the uk would be getting the event if abu dhabi couldnt sort out a venue but it looks like its going to be open air unfortunately!

UFC middleweight title contender, Chael Sonnen will not be the man to replace Vitor Belfort at UFC 112 on April 10th in Abu Dhabi following a discussion earlier today with matchmaker, Joe Silva. Sonnen revealed to CageWriter.com that the main reason was that he wouldnt be able take place in any sparring until March 9th after being medically suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission following his UFC 109 win over Nate Marquardt. UFC President, Dana White revealed that there is currently no one in the frame to face Silva on the card, although he would prefer a title defence be made by |

It's official.
Demian Maia has been tapped as Vitor Belfort's replacement for the UFC middleweight title fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 112 from the Concert Arena from Ferrari World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on Saturday, April 10. MMAmania.com (www.mmamania.com) confirmed the news with a source close to the situation earlier today. Belfort's shoulder injury that forced him to pull out of the title fight yesterday shook the MMA world to its core. Discussion as to who would step in to face Silva in the main event at UFC 112 immediately took center stage with names like Chael Sonnen, Thiago Silva, and even Randy Couture getting thrown into the mix. But as UFC President Dana White announced last night, Silva would fight at middleweight instead of taking on a top light heavyweight. And though Chael Sonnen earned number one contender status with his victory over Nate Marquardt at UFC 109, the cut he suffered during the fight will not heal in time for Sonnen to get his shot. Instead, the man who submitted Sonnen at UFC 95, Demain Maia, gets the lucky break. Weird how things work out, i bet Marquadt is gutted after being number1 contender for so long then getting overlooked for belfort and then losing to sonnen |
