AUCKLAND, New Zealand – What looked like a well-planned 2014 for the UFC’s Canadian team is now anything but, as a pair of shows intended for the country are no longer sure things. UFC Managing Director of Operations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand Tom Wright today said Toronto is still in the running as a potential host site for September’s “UFC 178: Jones vs. Gustafsson II” event, but that a previously announced December visit to Montreal, expected to serve as UFC 181, is likely no longer in the cards. “We’re still trying to figure out where 178 is going to be,” Wright told MMAjunkie after today’s event in Auckland, New Zealand. “A decision hasn’t been made. I’m waiting to hear from (UFC executives) Lorenzo (Fertitta) and Dana (White) on that, and we’ll probably find out next week because we obviously have some planning we have to do.
