UFC IN VANCOUVER! Its OFFICIAL!!
« on: August 27, 2009, 11:46:44 PM »
Looks like UFC will be in town in June.I give a ton of credit to the Dana white and the UFC (Zuffa)  lawyers for getting it done! I think its great for the our city and Canadian MMA athletes.It would be awesome to see North Van's Denis Kang win a fight at home.and the rest of the boys too! :) :)

what are your thought? will you go?

cheers!

I didn't think this was confirmed yet, but if so - that's great!  Will I go... Probably not.  But this is great for the city to get a major event in town!

I wanted to go to the GSP fight in Montreal, but my firstborn was due the next week. I wasn't able to convince my wife that I was certain he wouldn't come early. J/K. I wouldn't have missed that for the world.

If UFC comes to Vancouver. I will be first in line for tickets.

I think it great it's coming our way. Whether I go or not will depend on what the card is. I'm enough of a fan that I could be lured by a good card, but not enough of a fan that I would go just because it's coming. Should be exciting either way though.

I'm sure for a first time in Vancouver, it will be a good card. Probably GSP and maybe Ortiz vs Shamrock 4?

PLEASE NO!!!! I hope I never see Shamrock on another card. The guy couldn't beat Dana Whites grandmother.

I cant wait for this. Time to start saving the money now for some tickets.

LOL. too funny. ;D ;D

I can see GSP vs Mike Swick if Swick keeps wining a couple more fights. I think Denis Kang will be in the card for sure too. It would be bonus if Machida and Anderson Silva get on the card too!! ;D ;D wishful thinking.

Cant wait!

Was only kidding about Shamrock. I wouldn't watch that if they were fighting in my backyard for free. Has Kang had his 2nd fight in the UFC yet? Disappointing debut.

I think KANG is already a really good fighter. He has fought lots of places, not just the UFC. I guess the loss he suffered will make it all the more sweet if he were to win his first UFC fight in front of a home crowd in Vancouver.

That is a good match up and very good publicity for KANG.
