The UFC has postponed its March show in Montreal.

UFC 145 was scheduled for March 24 at the Bell Centre. But the UFC has shelved it for the time being, citing complications in scheduling and a desire to deliver a "championship card."

Tom Wright, the UFC's director of Canadian operations, says he expects Montreal will still stage a show later this year.

Most of the fights announced for the March show will be shifted to a card slated for April in Atlanta.
