This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy, the event is still about three months away, the numerous primary routine sources quoted just cover the announcements of who is going to appear which NOTNEWSPAPER explicitly says "is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. There is no attempt in the article to demonstrate what the lasting significance of this event will be, there will I have no doubt be 11 winners and 11 looser but beond that any significance at this stage will be pure speculation.
For the avoidance of doubt this nomination has nothing to do with the events notability or not, as a professional sports event, meeting the WP:GNG is not in doubt, however that is no guarantee of a subjects suitability for an article in an encyclopedia if, as in this case, it fails the inclusion policy.

• Keep: It's an upcoming UFC event. Why delete it and redo it later. Leave it up and people can build on it as information becomes available. At 3 months out, we will start seeing the fight card come together over the next couple weeks. Absolutely silly to try to delete it.Willdawg111 (talk) 15:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
• Merge An article 2013 in UFC should be created to omnibus this and other UFC event articles not yet ready for stand alone articles. Kevlar (talk) 17:53, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
• Delete: It's not even UFC 155 yet, and already we are setting up the card for 158. We don't even know if that's the official card, yet. Wait awhile, and recreate it when it's more sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.214.85 (talk) 23:03, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
• Keep: This event has a title fight that has been years in the making, it will have lasting significance. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 12:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
• Keep: This will be more relevant as we get closer to the date no point in deleting it now then remaking it later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.249.47.202 (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
