It will have to change course and move halfway across the country to do it, but Shine Fights’ lightweight tournament will go on as scheduled.

On Saturday, MMA Fighting was first to report the news that the promotion had been denied a license in Virginia for its Sept. 10 lightweight grand prix at the Patriot Center in Fairfax and would be moving the event to Oklahoma.

On Monday, Shine Fights COO Jason Chambers made the move official on his Twitter account. Less than a week before the event, which is scheduled to air on pay-per-view, Shine will move to the First Council Casino in Newkirk, Okla.
