Even though the promotion tried its hardest back then to remain functioning, even in a limited capacity.
One of the three events that got canceled was UFC Portland. Featured on the card was a heavyweight main event starring Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. Also on the card was the Welterweight clash between Brown and Luque. Now, the pair are rescheduled to meet inside of the octagon.
