- While the books aren't quite closed on UFC on Versus 3 just yet – a stellar main event and hotly contested decision result have ensured that – the former home of the WEC is already looking forward to broadcasting its next event.
During Thursday's UFC on Versus 3 event, UFC and Versus executives officially announced UFC on Versus 4 will take place on Sunday, June 26.
Today, the UFC's vice president of regulatory affairs, Marc Ratner, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that a location for the event has yet to be officialy determined, but the promotion is eyeing multiple venues in the Midwest and East Coast regions of the country.
Multiple sources suggested to MMAjunkie.com that Milwaukee may be a leading candidate to net the event, but UFC officials declined to comment on the likelihood of Wisconsin scoring the card, but a February report by MMA Fighting suggested a yet-to-be announced Aug. 14 card, UFC on Versus 5, would instead land at the city's 20,000-seat Bradley Center.
The UFC made its debut on Versus in March 2010 with "UFC on Versus 1: Vera vs. Jones" and returned in August 2010 with "UFC on Versus 2: Jones vs. Matyushenko." Top light heavyweight contender Jon Jones was the victor in the main event of both cards.
Versus broadcast the first of four planned 2011 UFC events Thursday night with "UFC on Versus 3: Sanchez vs. Kampmann," which saw Diego Sanchez earn a unanimous decision over Martin Kampmann in a bloody, brutal three-round affair.
