Oh Canada!..
Looking awesome for a great fight card in le Quebec.
This is great news for Canada, hopefully MMA will get sanctioned in Toronto and Vancouver next.
Looks like a great card so far! Jason MacDonald should get Bisping as an oppenent that would be a good fight!
They need David Loiseau in this.
OH MY GOD!!! HUGE!! GET READY FOR THE MOST PEOPLE AT AN EVENT! 21,273 FANS, PLUS THE FLOOR!!! SOLD OUT FOR SURE!!!
Rumour has it (very reliable source), That Takanori Gomi will be making his UFC debut.
It doesn’t even matter cause WAR GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW.
Unbelieveable card. That’s just the undercard. Unreal! When do tickets go on sale!?!?!
tickets…? How much do you tihnk they’ll be and when will they go on sale? Cuz i really want to go but i gotta come from Ottawa.
[quote post="4479"]They need David Loiseau in this. [/quote]
They need the old David Loiseau, the new david sucks.
Karo Parisyan (18-4) is penciled in to meet Thiago Alves (13-3) in a welterweight tilt at UFC 84 in Montreal, Canada, on April 19 at the Bell Centre, according to the MMAWeekly.com rumors section.
Wow, another huge fight. I live in Toronto and won’t be missing this card. Plus Rich Franklin in one fight, and Shogun in another! I’ll be pretty hung over for the drive home.
Ottawa? Dude, some friends and I are making the drive from Regina! Theres no way that Im passing up this show!
When are the tickets going on sale.Does anyone know anything about packages yet we are coming from toronto.
This is looking like a great card I’m thinking they may put Jardine in to fight Shogun. They should match up well.
Isn’t this supposed to be UFC 83? UFC 82 is set for March 1st and UFC 83 for April 19th. If UFC 84 is set for April 19th, then when the hell is UFC 83 taking place?
they should try to put a canadian in every fight or at least the majority of them…………come on this is like the only event in Canada and we gotta let the Canadians show off
ps……..
St.Pierre is going to kick the crap out of that fool Serra…..GSP!!!!!
I’ll be going for this one from Edmonton if I can get tickets before they sell out. Anyone know when they go onsale? GSP will walk away with the title without a doubt.
Regina?? We are coming from Calgary! Staying at the Marriot Chateau Champlin. My BF and I just got back from Vegas where we stayed at the MGM for the Hatton Mayweather fight! Let’s fill up a hotel with Canadian pride like the crazy Brits filled the MGM!Can’t wait to see St.Pierre in those little shorts again.

UFC 83 is overseas on March 8 by the looks of things, probobly free on spike.
I’ve got about 20 people coming from Boston, MA to see this fight card. If anyone finds out when they go on sale PLEASE post. Can’t wait to watch GSP kick some ass…and sorry but I have to do it…GO PATS!
When will tickets go on sale?

Holy, just moved to montreal, awesome timing!
Tickets arent on sale yet obviously, but word is they will be anywhere from $100 (blue section) to $400(red section) everything in between, and who knows for the floor seats!
Call the bell center directly to find out when they go on sale.

yeah its looking like they changed that now, it will be in the us
Great, great card!
Does anyone know when tickets go on sale for this even?
GSP by 3nd round tko. The first round will be gsp firing off some inside leg kicks against Serra. Serra will try and mix it up like he did last time but gsp will stay out of the way and keep a good distance frustrating serra. Halfway through the round gsp will take serra down and put him against the cage. He will control him there and work him over with a little GnP further frustrating serra. In the second serra will come out and try and throw a bomb which gsp will duck and take serra down again. This time he will be more aggressive and open up a cut with a glancing elbow. In the third gsp come out and targets the cut with some jabs and takes down serra again and targets the cut. The fight gets stopped halfway through the 3rd round due to cuts. War!
I wonder who Shogun is gonna fight. I hope it’s Machida or Thiago Silva.
Rumours of Hamilton Ontario’s Jeff Joslin, who lost to Koscheck , will make an apperance in Montreal as well.
Damn, Canada has some major talent!
I hope Cote fights instead of commentary
I would love to seee him fight a big name!
Or at least some one who make a great fight!
Nate Quarry
Martin Kampman (if healthy)
Chris Lebean 2
Ed Herman
David terrel (if healthy)
SSSSSSSSSSick fights coming in 2008
when are tix available?
OMG I cant wait!!!! when do the tickets go on sale?..AND GSP BABY!!!!!
Tickets will go on sale Feb 10. Official announcement of date and venue – on Feb 2. (but it’s April 19 @ the Bell Centre….UFC 84).
Tickets are alleged to start @ $125CDN to $1000 for floors and $1500 for VIP packages.
As for the card…GSP and Serra are NOT confirmed. GSP will be there for sure, but MAY NOT be fighting. My guess is that it depends on Serra’s health. I’m sure there’s a push to have this and Dana would be hard pressed to come up with a title fight if this fell through though….let’s hope Serra is ready.
This is one UFC not to miss!
K I’m sure everyone knows now that 84 is the May card in Las Vegas but just to establish that in the thread here…
I’ve heard that Wanderlei is fighting Keith Jardine. This card is really looking solid with the 3 205 lb fights plus the main event. Just a really nice card being put together. They’ve gotta start having more PPVs though. 1 a month isn’t enough. It should be 1 every 3 weeks there abouts
What about Mirco, when is he going to fight again?
awesome looking card.
cris,I have followed you for a long time ane you and brock lesner r my favorite fighters in the ufc.Cris i hope you win the belt kick some ass bro.your friend josh m p.s.if u ever get in Naples FLA lets train or just hang out.thank you JOSH M
cris hit me up in FLA,NAPLES we will train or party.
Its looking to be a great card so far , a lot of good fights worth watchin. I just hope that Tito doesn`t leave after this event and that Wanderlei does not drop down to 185 i don`t think it makes sense for him, hes home is 205 even though he looks leaner latetly than he did at PRIDE, Wandy is one the few who still have a chance at taking that belt from Rampage. I `ll probably order this event on PPV hopefully it lives up to the hype especially BJ vs. Sherk.
That seems like a really good fight card. The fight that really drew my attention was Silva vs. Jardine. That should be a real good fight.
Looks like all that is left is one more fight on the main card and another non-televised bout to get to 10 fights. But I have to say right now this is one of their best. The main event is basically 50-50 for me and 3 BIG LHW matches. Hopefully they throw on a HW fight with Gonzaga vs. Sylvia or something like that.
They should think about calling this “the battle of the 205ers” with 10 LHWs going at it. Going to be great!

what are you talking about? i thought Gomi signed with WVR. and UFC only does exclusive contracts.
is it just me or when you look at the title for this PPV do you see “wii” all the time? lol, i keep reading wii at first glance
I have to say that usually i like to see Tito get battered… i just plain don’t like him!!!
But characters like him are good for the sport & a good win & performance over a top, if slightly boring fighter in Machida will surely make Dana have to put his hatred of Tito to one side & offer him a new contract that he would deserve on merit, not just because he is a top ppv draw!!!
It’s time for Tito to step up to the plate & prove to everyone he’s stil a top 205 pound contender & not just a celebrity has been!
Also, come on BJ do everyone a favour & punish Sherk & prove to everyone what a cheating punk he really is!!!
I & my soapbox have left the building……..
The way it will be !!!!
Tito Ortiz (15-6-1) vs. Lyoto Machida (13-0)
Rashad Evans (12-0-1) vs. Thiago Silva (12-1)*
Wanderlei Silva (32-8-1) vs. Keith Jardine (13-4-1)
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (4-3) vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (12-7)*

Dong Hyun Kim (10-1-1) vs. Jason Tan (5-3)*
B.J. Penn (12-5-1) vs. Sean Sherk (33-2-1)

Actually he didnt even tap (verbally or otherwise) Matt even admitted to losing the first two rounds and knows what would have happened if BJ wouldnt have broken a rib, we’ll see when they fight again.
PS: Reagan huh, that the name of one of BJs brothers LoL Your a Penn man HA!
