UFC to canada
Dana White renewed his claim that the UFC will hold a show in Canada before the year is out, according to the Canadian Press.

He even went as far to say that it will happen in Montreal sometime in October.

Here’s the snip:

“The mixed martial arts circuit will be in Montreal in October, UFC president Dana White told The Canadian Press. He did not provide a date for the show but said the decision to come to Canada was made Saturday.”

Not too long ago White promised to bring the rubbermatch between then welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and the man who he beat for the title, Matt Hughes.

In fact, the Bell Centre in Montreal was penciled in as the venue for UFC 69 on April 7. For several different reasons that fight and event in Montreal never happened — St. Pierre wound up fighting Matt Serra in Houston, Texas, instead.

This time around it will hopefully work out. However, I can’t imagine the UFC holding a show in Canada and St. Pierre — the hometown hero — not being on the card.

“Rush” has a fight with Josh Koscheck at UFC 74 on August 22. Can he be ready by October? And if so, who will he fight? Or, will he not be on the card?

There’s a whole lot of questions that need to be answered. But, for now, Canadians can celebrate (again) the imminent arrival of the UFC north of the border.

Wonder if the Canadiens will have the same fair judging for their fighters like the Irish did…

Pass an eye test, testify that you have watched MMA at least once, and be of the nationality of whatever country the bouts will be in.

Hmmmmmmm, 12 hours away by car (I live on PEI). It would be nice if it coincided with the Quebec open (International JUDO Tournament). That would be just Gravy………….. and make for a great trip.

It would be cool to see Karo Parisyan there and tie in pretty good too.

I cant see GSP fighting there unless he loses to KOSCHECK and that I dont wanna see happen.

I hear king of the cage is coming to atlantic canada in the next few months.

why do they need a bunch of canadians to perform? GSP would be nice but to only have a bunch of canadians, thats overkill, i’m sure they could appreciate the show without it being all canadians fighting.

its the first show in canada, dana white is gonna give the fans some hometown boys to cheer for, all these guys except maybe gsp will be there, and i think gsp will be there anyway, he’ll want to fight in canada just like all these other guys will, just like the texas boys wanted to fight in texas and the fans wanted them there and the ohio guys wanted to fight in ohio and the fans wanted them there, just like everyone was claiming ireland last night and the fans loved them, c’mon dude, its obvious…j mac, stout, cote and starnes are all good fighters anyway dude, it’ll be a good card

That Clay Guida decision pissed me off yesterday.

I picked Tyson Griffin to win, but after that showing I think Guida clearly edged out the win.

Too bad it is not in BC like in Vancouver, or I’d go see it, Montreal is way too far away.

it would be pointless to not have gsp on the montreal card
its like going to england and not having bisping fight or ohio and not have franklin fight, you only need to have him there the first time then after that you can throw whoever
plus it would be better for the fighters to have less of a break between the fight with hughes or serra

they better have a phenomonal card nothing like this ireland card save griffin guida

it’s surprising that Dana would do a show in Monty without GSP. Doesn’t he know the truckloads of money that would unload in ticket sales, merchandise, and complete insanity? I think we’re missing something here.

GSP will definetly compete in October. Win or Lose in August he will have to compete in his hometown. You know he wants it and he would be a great draw. Who he fights would be the question??? If he losses there are many choices. If he wins…that would be the tough choice being that the winner would get shot. Maybe top talent from PRIDE?

Canada is better than the UK or Overseas. I just have a harder time getting all pumped up for a day fight. Maybe it was just the UFC 72 card I don’t know. I wish Dana wasn’t so hell bent on going world wide with PPV. I mean the US call the baseball championships world chapionships with a couple of token canadian teams.

Huh? Eh? How a BOUT that?

I dont care who he fights KOBE Bryant, The Rock, or even Jenna JAmeson i dont care, as long as he fights in October!!!!!! then talk sh*t about him being fragile n fighting only once a year. Some one please slap Dana in the back of the head. He is making alot of poor decision lately first he put the 170 division on hold, then he had to make this stupid UFC 72 which i did not buy. THen now this Going to Canada without GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t see Gsp fighting in October if he beats Koscheck, only if he loses. I’m sure he would be there though win or lose, not to fight but present. I also am Canadian and am looking forward to the UFC finally showing up here.

I know that’s what I thought, but it is still a good reminder, he is still one of the best, it is all relative, had everyother fighter been in his situation, they would be in the same boat.

I doubt it would piss him off that bad, because surley he would still fight Kos in the next event in canada, so its not like he would just get another opponent. However GSP having homefield advantage in this competition may sway the result…

Montreal? That isnt Canada lol. Why there, so all the fighters who arent Canadien can be booed by the rude French people? Should have had it at the MTS centre in Manitoba, everyone who knows anything about Canada knows Winnipeg is the party city. Its also right in the middle of North America, so no one would be too far from it travel wise.

I’d love for Ontario to lift the Ban of MMa fighting so we could have a UFC in Toronto, taht would be insane. There are not many UFC fighters who are from Ontario because they have to go to the States or another province to train. But man there are so many insane UFC fans here.

I’m also happy that there won’t be a time change like when it goes to Europe. People already knew who won before spike aired UFC 70 and than 3pm was kinda stupid for UFC 72. As long as St.Pierre, Macdonald and Stout fight I don’t really want to see the other fighters on the main card. Saint Pierre could fight the winner of Mash and Diego since then they will have equal preperation time (if he beats the blanket koscheck)or I guess fight the losser if he losses again…I don’t think he will though. Macdonald could fight Martin Kampmann if his injury heals up or maybe set up a Kendall Grove fight some how to see if he truly is the TUF killer. Stout can fight and lightweight,maybe Guida because they are both coming off 2 UFC losses.

I just hope for your sake Kos doesn’t show up in the best shape of his life with the intention to kill like serra did. cause if so it doesn’t matter if GSP has the eye of Bruce lee, he’s going down. Also even if he had beat Serra he would still be human, just ok.

Spida, there is NO WAY Silva would throw Fisher and Stout back into the ring so soon. Lightweights are the new thing in the UFC, Fisher is gonna fight more high powered 155 fighters and they are gonna put on a show, same with stout. Maybe next year we will see 3.

But…
Do you think GSP is gonna retire a champion? Dude couldnt even get through the backhand eating Serra that I dont think has ko’d anyone else in his career. I dont think that GSP is one of the best fighters in the world… his record might read differnt, but you have to be able to stand strong in atleast ONE title defense before you can grab that title. The jury is still out on GSP. Does the guy have talent? Hell yeah he does… but until he applies it correctly and constantly, we have another Randleman/Belfort on our hands.

And lemee guess, Matt Hughes isnt one of the best fighters in the world either?

Spencer should skip lauzon, and move right to Roger Huerta, cant wait to see those two get down.

But…
Do you think GSP is gonna retire a champion? Dude couldnt even get through the backhand eating Serra that I dont think has ko’d anyone else in his career. I dont think that GSP is one of the best fighters in the world… his record might read differnt, but you have to be able to stand strong in atleast ONE title defense before you can grab that title. The jury is still out on GSP. Does the guy have talent? Hell yeah he does… but until he applies it correctly and constantly, we have another Randleman/Belfort on our hands.

And lemee guess, Matt Hughes isnt one of the best fighters in the world either?[/quote]

why would i say matt hughes isn’t one of the best fighters in the world??? he definitely is…will gsp retire champ? i have no idea, the dude is what like 25 years old…will he be champ again? i guarantee it! the ww division is a tough one man, and it seems like its getting tougher and tougher with guys like koscheck and diego and now sakurai and maybe nick diaz coming back better than ever, and maybe adding some more pride 160 lbers, its gonna be tough for anyone to dominate that division like hughes used to, but to me gsp is a great fighter and definitely one of the best in the world simply because of the guys he’s beat and how young he is…

stout was exposed by florian and would probably get beat by most other 155 lb fighters in the ufc that don’t just want to stand and trade…plus fisher just lost to a more high powered fighter when he fought franca…i think the ufc should get the 3rd fight up asap to get all they can out of these guys’ rivalry…the canadians would love this fight, its a perfect time and place for it, thats just my opinion…

If he loses? either way he will be injured, I dont know why people dont get that. The dude is constantly hurt! he can fight maybe 3 times per year, maybe only 2. it’s looking like 2 this year, one being his worst lost ever. Where as guys like Crocop and others from pride are used to fighting every 2 months. CC had like 6 fights in 04. theres a guy who “Deserves” to be called great.

Hi All … Yep Montreal would be huge. There would probably be fights in the seats cause our Quebec brothers wont take any frenchie bashing crap.

October should be a big card. Certainly a title defence. Gsp has to fight maybe even Matt Hughes for #1 contender. Watch for Jeff Joslin. He runs a kickass school out of Hamilton Ontario and he’s working on his standup but his ground is Tres Sic.

Viv la UFC en Canada!!

What year are you living in? GSP beat Hughes in November of 06′ and fought Serra in April of 07, which is his only fight this year. If he fights in August it could be his last fight until he fight the winner of Hughes/Serra which could be next spring.

If you think anyone who’s fighting the best guys is going to win every fight you’re dreaming. Gsp does apply his talent corectly and consistantly that is why he ONLY HAD ONE BAD FIGHT. After Gsp dominated the best at 170 then he has one bad night and you compare him to Randleman and Belfort, those two are on and off like a light switch, up and down like a whore’s shots.

What I don’t get is why people don’t look up the word, “constantly” in the dictionary. It doesn’t mean ONLY 2 injuries in Gsp’s whole career. 2 does not = constantly. Gsp doesn’t fight much, where have you been? From his first fight in the UFC he has fought every second one up to BJ Penn ( UFC 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58) and in the last year he fought 2 times, not bad for being constantly injured. I challenge you to name one guy in the UFC who fights more than GSP. So pull your head out of your ass , and then maybe you will clearly see the truth that GSP is rarely injured. His fight record proves this ,end of story.

You have never seen how GSP responds to getting knocked out and having to come back from it. We might never see the same guy in the octagon again, and he might come back better than ever. Only after he comes back and proves he wont let the ko keep him from putting it all on the line will I ever call him great. So many before him were called great until a devastating loss changed the way they fought, So I just saying now is a pivotal time for him, not a time to declare that he is the best, This is his test.

What the hell u putting Rush in a comparison to Randleman/Belfort, u must be on crack there is no way GSP is in their league. He had one bad fight on his mma career n he fought the best in the world. He already prove himself to be the best. oh yeah one more thing GSP will retire with the 170 belt and even the 185 belt.

in this sport you can’t let one bad fight destroy a guy’s legacy, you guys are so glass half empty, look at his wins against the best in the business, not his one bad loss…i guess cro cop never knew how to apply himself either when he got ktfo out by randelman(a never has been) and gonzaga(a hasn’t been yet)

I didn’t say guys who have fought more fights. I said ,” who fights more than Gsp”. The whole post is about time frame between fights so I’ll reword it for you , Name a guy who fights “MORE OFTEN” than Gsp , name someone who fought every second UFC for 7 fights in a row. You said,”GSP is always injured” and I was saying his fight record proves otherwise.
