This sports non-event (think you have to call it that as it never actually happened) fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:MMAEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate any lasting significance, the sources are just of the routine coverage type any sports event gets in the lead up to it.

- Delete The event never happened and the article fails to explain how a non-occurring event is notable. Seems to be a perfect example of why event article should not be created in advance of the event as per WP:CRYSTAL. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete The world is full of events that never happened. I see nothing to show this cancelled MMA event produced any long lasting effects. Papaursa (talk) 18:52, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This event didn't happen and would probably not have been notable even if it had taken place. Astudent0 (talk) 17:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as sporting promotion. Exactly why we have WP:CRYSTAL. BusterD (talk) 13:36, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
