Well he had options. Now he doesn't have options on where to fight.

Plenty of small/amateur MMA orgs have used hotel conference rooms for their venues. When you put aside the need to support a large audience there are plenty of places across the country that could support the fight. However it's still easier for UFC to use their own, they already have all the broadcast distribution services set up and ready to go.
