UFC exec Marc Ratner not giving up on UFC 115 in Vancouver just yet

UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner says accounts of UFC 115’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Amid reports the UFC’s first trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has been moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, due to legal issues with the Vancouver City Council, Ratner told MMAjunkie.com the promotion will make a final decision regarding the June 12 event within 24 hours.

“We’re certainly working hand in hand with the mayor’s office and the city council, and hopefully we have what they want,” Ratner said. “The fight is still going forward as we speak.”
