Filed under: News , UFC , Videos EDMONTON – As of Wednesday, UFC executive David Shaw said UFC 215 was on the “verge of a sellout” with just a few hundred tickets remaining for the pay-per-view event at Rogers Place. Of course, that was before UFC flyweight title challenger Ray Borg fell ill, forcing officials to cancel the pay-per-view event’s headliner just a few hours before Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was scheduled to hit the scale with champ Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC). A women’s bantamweight title rematch between champ Amanda Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Valentina Shevchenko (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is the new main event.
