UFC 208 was originally scheduled to go down live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on January 21, 2017, but it has been announced by the UFC that is no longer the case.
UFC officials have announced that the event will be moved to February 11th in Brooklyn, originally set to be UFC 209, from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. UFC 209 will now be moved to Las Vegas in March which was originally set to be UFC 210:
UFC® announced today that its Jan. 21 Pay-Per-View event at Honda Center in Anaheim, California has been rescheduled to Aug. 5. The event will remain a Pay-Per-View broadcast. UFC 208 will be shifted to the Feb. 11 event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Anaheim will get a pay-per-view (PPV) event when the UFC returns there on August 5. The reason for the major shuffle is due to the lack of possible headliners for the previously scheduled Anaheim PPV, as all champions were either booked or nursing injuries.
The UFC 208 PPV from Anaheim was also originally set to go head-to-head with the Chael Sonnen vs. Tito Ortiz event from the Forum in Inglewood, California, but now it seems that spotlight will be all Bellator’s come January 21.
