This is a future sports event that currently fails to meet WP:GNG or WP:FUTURE. The article points out the event is "far from signed" and "not officially announced" which indicates a rather non-encyclopaedic topic more suitable for a fansite. Fæ (talk) 04:42, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The Google hits for the event all say the same thing, the event is expected to happen Dec 10 in Canada. I don't think it's enough to deserve an article. --TreyGeek (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The article UFC 139 was recently deleted as an exercise in crystal-ballery, which makes this one even more crystally, which is not to say more ballsy. Carrite (talk) 14:23, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - UFC 139 was deleted due to the fact that it wasn't announced and didn't have a date or venue. However, UFC 140 has both and has been announced by the UFC themselves as well and has the appropriate references and resources.BEDofRAZORS666 (talk) 28 June 2011
- Keep There have been fights mentioned then confirmed to not be on this date. I think the information is relevant. UFC 140 is a confirmed event — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.141.172 (talk) 20:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - the first ref makes it clear that the date is not definite and the second ref makes it clear that the venue is not definite - so how can we have a page? TerriersFan (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Almost all the sourcing says when this event will not occur and who will not appear. Not every sporting event is notable and very few are notable before they actually occur. Exact reason we observe WP:CRYSTAL. BusterD (talk) 17:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
