A day after the organization officially announced UFC 115 for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the June event has already sold out.

In a post on his official Twitter account, Ultimate Fighter Championship president Dana White stated tickets for the June 12 sold out in 30 minutes.

UFC Fight Club members caused the sellout before tickets event went on sale to the general public and a day before a designated pre-sale for UFC.com newsletter subscribers.

The UFC Fight Club is the UFC's official fan club, and annual membership dues give members the first opportunity to purchase tickets.

Today's pre-sale for the members began at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). At 1:44 p.m. ET, White posted, "Vancouver sold out in 30 mins!!!! Thank you vancouver we worked hard on getting it there. Thank you mayor robertson."

Really?... That card looks like shit if you ask me...

That's what I was thinking, although if Fitch/Alves is on it then it'll be alittle better.

Yeah, if that fight becomes official it might make it a 7 out of 10. I wouldn't pay to see it live anymore than I'm going to pay for it on PPV though.

They need to just throw BJ/Edgar rematch on this bitch lol

They both took some slight damage that fight. My vote is Anderson vs Sonnen/Vitor.

I wish... That'll probably be the 117 co-main or main...

Probably because it's the first card to be in Vancouver.

I think this card is the shit. It doesn't have any huge fights but a main card of Chuck-Rich. Alves-Fitch, Crocop-Barry, Thiago-Kampmann, and Griffin-Dunham? That's got action packed written all over it. Hopefully Condit-MacDonald and Yvel-Rothwell will be on the prelims as well

This is UFC 99 all over again

Yep... That would have been a good Spike card, but it only did 350K or so for a reason. This one might get a little boost from Chuck, but I think after losing 4 of 5 his fanbase isn't loyal enough to give it too much...

The card isn't big in names but has interesting matches and some guys who could be coming around.

IDK? I am not really hyped about the main event, that is true, but I enjoy watching Thiago vs. Kampmann and Griffin vs. Dunham. Those should be some good fights. I agree by looking on the surface that this card looks not very good, but these end up being really good fight cards when it is all said and done. 109 & 108 wetre better than anticipated, but nobody bothered to buy them in great numbers, but they were still entertaining.

all this mens is ticketmaster and stubhub have bought all the tickets

just like when Pac vs Clottey was sold out for months and there were still tickets for sale the day of the fight

For the casual fight fan this card doesn't have much, true. But for the hardcore this is one of the best cards since 100 in terms of real quality matchups here. Yvel vs Rothwell has amber-lamps written all over it. Thiago vs Kampmann is a fight that will definitely be entertaining as will Griffin vs Dunham, I'd like to see if Dunham can hang with Griffin standing or if Griffin can stay out of subs that slick. Chuck vs Franklin is going to be exactly what we all expect from these guys. Franklin won't go down easy, neither will Chuck. This card has the promise of tons of action. This always happens right after an influx of title fights. With every title in the UFC having just been defended/already scheduled to be defended in the next few months this is a pretty solid alternative from the sounds of it. What kind of fan you are will determine your level of excitement here, as it is with all cards really.

Will it get a ton of buys? Probably not. Will it give us plenty to talk about the day after, and in positive fashion? Probably.

Totally with you Ludo. This might not do huge numbers but I will for sure be buying. Solid action from top to bottom and there will be some killer fights that night

Have you seen Griffin fight? All he seems to fight is black belts and has been in some bad positions and fought out of them.



The dos Anjos fight comes to mind.
