Title: Updates on UFC 311: Potential Shifts in the Los Angeles Lineup
UFC 311, slated for January 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, is still on the cards, according to UFC's PR X account. Despite the relentless California wildfires and their impact on the area, discussions about moving the event to another location were explored, but as of now, the Intuit Dome remains the venue of choice.
As reported by renowned combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani, UFC has engaged in discussions about the event's status given the wildfire crisis affecting Southern California. The Rams vs. Vikings playoff game, initially scheduled for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, was, in fact, moved to Glendale, Arizona due to the wildfires. However, UFC 311 is currently scheduled to stay in Inglewood. The UFC is keeping a close eye on the situation and is ready to relocate the event if necessary.
Fortunately, the fighters on the card would not face significant inconvenience if the event were to be moved to Las Vegas, with LAX to Las Vegas International Airport being a one-hour and 15-minute flight. Adding to this, the UFC's Performance Institute is located in Las Vegas, meaning athletes would have additional support facilities to prepare for the event.
UFC CEO Dana White and the promotion have already pledged and vowed support to the regions and people affected by the wildfires, taking to social media to express this commitment. White's hope is that the wildfires will be contained soon, and Los Angeles will have the opportunity to enjoy the UFC's presence following this natural disaster. A positive break from the reality for the affected people, the UFC's event could serve as.
Moving on to the upcoming UFC schedule, it has been three weeks since the UFC last held an event, making it feel like twice as long. On January 18, the UFC will be back with another action-packed Fight Night in Las Vegas. The main event at UFC Vegas 101 will see Mackenzie Dern take on Amanda Ribas.

- Mackenzie Dern (116) vs. Amanda Ribas (116)
