I am a big UFC fan and enjoy watching it, but at the same time I can completely understand why the city wouldn't allow it. I know I'm in the minority of people in this city that would enjoy it, and lets face it majority rules.
About Richmond, their city council has already refused UFC in the past and has stated just last week that it has no intention of hosting an event, Joe Rogan has stated that he's going to try in Coquitlam then.

Jlousa, wouldn't you agree that if regulated you wouldn't have those types of incidents. They had bodog at PNE coliseum a few years ago. It was sold out and there was a heavy police presence just because of the type of crowd it was. Regardless I think there are many UFC fans out there, but we just aren't complaining enough. Also the city does have more pressing issues to deal with right now
