    A couple of news items came out today that give us a clearer picture of the UFC's plans for early Summer. First Tatame.com reported that the UFC has secured verbal agreements from Dan Henderson and Rashad Evans to face each other on June 15.

    Secondly, Joe Ferrarao, host of SportsNet's UFC Central program tweeted the following:

    I can confirm the UFC will host an event at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 15th. More news forthcoming.

    It seems a safe bet this will be UFC 161 following UFC 160: Velasquez vs. Silva II on May 25 in Las Vegas.

    Jake Shields vs. Tyron Woodley is also rumored for this card.

    Winnipeg in June? I hope they bring mosquito repellant lol. Better than January I guess. Those Brazilians would look worse than the Jamaican Bobsled Team in Cool Runnings. Seriously though, poor UFC guys.
