Michael Bisping vs. Tim Boetsch moves from UFC 148 to UFC 149 in Calgary
The ripple that began with Silva vs. Sonnen II's displacement has spread to UFC 148. Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that a middleweight bout between Michael Bisping and Tim Boetsch has been shuffled from UFC 148 to UFC 149.
While the shift has yet to be made official, the bout is expected to serve on the main card of the July 21 pay-per-view event, which takes place at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

UFC 147 now reportedly heading to Minas Gerais, Brazil on June 23
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
UFC 147 may have its home for June 23, as Tatame.com reports that the event will now come to the Journalist Felippe Drummond Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The card needed a new venue when problems arose in Rio de Janeiro. A United Nations conference in the city left the UFC without enough available hotel rooms for the event they had planned, and led to them removing the Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen rematch from the card.
The event is now expected to be headlined by a Featherweight Championship bout between Jose Aldo and Erik Koch, though that fight could still take place at the UFC 149 card in Calgary in July.
There could still potentially be an issue with this site, as the UFC will require an engineer to determine if the site can hold the UFC's lighting structure.
Penick's Analysis: The event just needs a location at this point, so if this venue works they'll move forward with it. Getting into a different city in Brazil will perhaps allow for better tickets sales, as it means they're not exhausting one city financially with three straight events in less than a year. Aldo on top will help this card immensely as well, though if it winds up being Wanderlei Silva vs. Vitor Belfort in the top spot, it could see a massive drop in potential pay-per-view buys.

UFC VP says Strikeforce champ Ronda Rousey helped bolster MMA?s hopes in New York
On April 18 in Albany, N.Y., the New York state Senate voted 43-14 to approve a bill that would legalize and regulate MMA in the state. It still needs to pass the Assembly and then be signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in order to become law.
The bill has passed the state Senate before, but this time around, said Marc Ratner, the UFC's vice president for governmental and regulatory affairs, the job was made much easier with Rousey's testimony.
"She got up there and she really made a great presentation and I think she had a significant impact," Ratner said. "We [as executives] can talk all we want to them about the positives of MMA, but to hear it from someone like her, a fighter, someone who is very articulate [and] who made her points very passionately, it definitely made a huge impact."
Several senators approached her, she said, and told her her presentation changed their minds and caused them to vote in favor of the bill.
"MMA has a bad rap among some people," Rousey told Cagewriter. "It's marketed sometimes in a way that is not what the sport is. You hear the marketing, 'Two men enter. One man leaves,' but that's ridiculous. It's not what this sport is. They just do it to sound dramatic. It's like a movie preview. The whole movie isn't just running around and screaming and explosions, but they make it seem like that [in the trailer] so people go to the movie. There's a lot of quiet time and dialogue and there is a plot. What they're doing is like they're comparing a commercial for 'The Bourne Identity' to actually sitting there and watching it for two hours."
She spent time explaining the nuances of her specialty, the arm bar. She pointed out that she'd been arm barred "more times than I can count," and pointed out that she wasn't out snapping bones. She said she doesn't think she's ever broken an opponent's arm.
That, too, worked.
"I explained everything behind it and after I did, they were like, 'OK, that's no problem, it's not barbaric,'" Rousey said.
Her best point, though, may have been when she told the senators that there was actually already MMA going on in the state. She made them aware that there is a robust amateur scene there, but it isn't as safe for the fighters and the fighters aren't able to make a living, like they do when they're professionals and compete where the sport is regulated.
That point struck home with many of the lawmakers.
"In New York, you could fight and have people do MMA," she said. "But they have to do it without the proper medical checks. They have to do it without getting paid. They have to do it without any kind of regulation or oversight. [Amateur MMA in New York] is unsafe the way it is now, because they're missing all the things we have in pro MMA.
"We're not asking them to bring in a bunch of people and tell them to kill each other. That's not what's going on. That's how it was being presented. I wanted to point out that amateur MMA is here already, but we want to get it regulated so it's safe and there is regulation and it is safe and everyone gets paid for what they do. I want to be able to work in any state in my own country. Can you imagine, we're in 2012 and I still legally can't do my job anywhere I want in my country?"
The tens of millions of dollars poured into the legalization effort by UFC owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta and president Dana White will be primarily responsible for MMA's passage in New York, if and when it occurs.
But Rousey's day on the hill shouldn't be forgotten. On that day, the lady was a champ when it came to wooing the legislators.
