Gracie Fighting Championship: Evolution - Postponed
The Gracie Fighting Championship: Evolution, scheduled for January 20th in Miami, has been postponed. No reason was given for the postponement, but the Fight Network has suggested lagging ticket sales are the reason.
From the GFC website
The Gracie Fighting Championships: Evolution event will no longer be held on January 20th. We will be strategically rescheduling our show for another date shortly.
We sincerely regret whatever inconvenience this may cause those of you who have made plans to attend the event. Please stay tuned as we will be back soon, and will produce some of the greatest MMA available in 2007.
The event was supposed to feature UFC vet Nick Diaz vs Thomas Denny, Renato Verissimo challenging Jake Shields as well as a heavyweight main event of Wes Sims against Jeff Monson. Monson was a late replacement for Mario Sperry, who pulled out of the fight earlier in the week.

GFC is going to be getting a lot of negative heat because of this. I’ve heard some of the guys who were fighting and helping to run the event will not be returning if they decide to put on another one.
Also the event is now officially cancelled, not postponed.
It’s one thing to call an event off a few months before it is scheduled to happen if necessary but 8 days before? That’s insane and sucks horribly for everyone involved…

Wow this really sucks. Guys like Nick Diaz will definitely be pissed to hear this.
