UFC_115_posterAfter missing the chance to fight at UFC 113 in Montreal this weekend, David Loiseau (19-9) will get his moment to fight on Canadian soil at UFC 115 against Mario Miranda (9-1).

UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin will take place on June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The bout between Loiseau and Miranda will take place on the preliminary card.

Loiseau had been a late replacement for an injured Nick Catone at UFC 113, and was to fight in front of his hometown of Montreal, but failed to receive his license in time and was replaced by another Canadian, Jason MacDonald in the bout against John Salter.

The delay in licensing was due to an open investigation into the sale of the XMMA, a Quebec based mma promotion Loiseau once owned part of, to a group of individuals who are being investigated by the authorities.

Loiseau has eight bouts under the UFC banner going 4-4 over the past seven years. He earned a victory over Chester Post at a MFL 2 Battleground event last February in his last match. In his last UFC appearance, at UFC 97, Loiseau lost a unanimous decision to Ed Herman at the April 2009 event.

Miranda made his UFC debut in his last fight against Gerald Harris, losing the first fight of his career by TKO at UFN 21. The Brazilian almost earned a spot on “The Ultimate Fighter 11″ but instead earned a contract with the UFC.

UFC 115 now appears as follows:

Main Card

    - Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
    - Patrick Barry vs. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic
    - Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
    - Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
    - Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin

Preliminary Card

    - Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
    - Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
    - David Loiseau vs. Mario Miranda
    - Peter Sobotta vs. James Wilks
    - Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
    - Jesse Lennox vs. Mike Pyle

Dana-WhiteIt took just 30 minutes for UFC 115 to sell out according to UFC president Dana White, who posted the news on his Twitter page on Tuesday.

    Vancouver sold out in 30 mins!!!! Thank you vancouver we worked hard on getting it there. Thank you mayor robertson

UFC 115 will take place on June 12th at General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Tickets for the event never even made it to the general public or to UFC.com newsletter subscribers, as all tickets were purchased by members of the UFC’s official fan club, the UFC Fight Club. Members pay an annual fee and are given early access to ticket sales.

If UFC 115 truly did sell out in 30 minutes, it would make the event the fastest selling event in UFC history. The previous record was held by another event held in Canada, UFC 83 which was held in Montreal as Canada’s first-ever UFC event. It sold out in less than a minute once tickets became available to the public.

The full card for UFC 115 appears as follows:

Main Card

    - Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
    - Patrick Barry vs. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic
    - Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
    - Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
    - Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin

Preliminary Card

    - Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
    - Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
    - Peter Sobotta vs. James Wilks
    - Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
    - Jesse Lennox vs. Mike Pyle
