Canada's been getting alot of love recently. The only UFC love shown to the East Coast in the past 2 years was a crappy event called Evans vs Bisping......[/quote] It is a balance of knowing who to contact and having sponsors put up some good cash. We are dedicated to having a big UFC name host most of the PPV's at different venues across the Toronto region. I don't know, but the fighters do love it up here. We, as the sponsors show them a great time, and they keep wanting to come back. They realize that there is a really good fan base up here and people pack the places to come out and see their fav. fighters. Some big names planned for future events as well. Anytime you want to make the trek...let me know and you can hang with us at the events. Cheers.[/quote] And for anyone who hasn't been there, Toronto's a GREAT city! It's a lot better April-September than the dead of winter of course, but it's a lot like Chicago....really clean awesome city right on the water. I'm not a Cannuck fyi....but Toronto's dope!

Surely Mania can sponser Jon now. What's the story now Mania? Surely Fitch wouldn't mind another sponser.
