6. UFC 176 Was Cancelled
Reed Saxon/AP/Press Association ImagesNo, it was not postponed. I can almost hear Dana White yelling to who ever is writing press releases for ufc.com: "Don't say cancelled. Don't use that m-----f---ing word! It's postponed. Say postponed!" Well, you can dress up a pig but I don't suggest bringing it to the ball. Actually, I don't suggest dressing up a pig in the first place, but that's up to you. UFC 176, however, is not postponed. It is cancelled. The fights have all been moved to other cards. UFC 177 will be the next event. UFC 176 will not be held two months from now. You're not going to see a sequence where we get UFC 177, UFC 178, UFC 176, then UFC 179. It's not happening, so don't drink the Dana White/UFC kool-aid on this one. For the second time in UFC history, an event has been cancelled - and it's for the exact same reason as UFC 151: when the main event of Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes fell apart due to an Aldo injury, and no replacement could be found, the card was too weak to stand on its own. Welcome, once again, to the over-saturation of UFC events, where fights are spread too thin, and a single injury can kill an entire event. To add insult to injury, it's estimated that over $800,000 U.S. worth of tickets had already been sold. Ouch!
