UFC 140 Set To Officially Return To Toronto On December 10th

The UFC is officially returning to Canada. Promotion officials announced Tuesday morning that UFC 140 will be held at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on December 10th, a week after ‘The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale'.

UFC 140 will be the organization's second trip into Toronto, and if it's anything like the first, the UFC is in line for a massive success. April's UFC 129 event at the Toronto Blue Jays' Rogers Centre -- headlined by Canadian icon Georges St. Pierre -- destroyed North American records by pulling in a live gate of $12.075 million while drawing 55,724 fans.

While the Air Canada Centre is a significantly smaller venue -- seating around 20,000 -- it is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown Toronto. The arena currently serves as a home to the NBA's Toronto Raptors and the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs.

As of this point no bouts have been officially announced for UFC 140.
