A good day indeed

Congrats guys, know you have been waiting an eternity for this to happen.

Awesome news !!!!!

Waits for MFC to put out a press release saying that they where "instrumental" in making this happen

cough*cough

In all seriousness, this is great news and hopefully the UFC and WEC will be filling up areas through out Ontario soon.

this is from the msn website

What they don't say in the story is that it's thanks to a group of Ontario MMA figures who have working their asses off behind the scenes with Sophia's office....



Some of them post here on the Canadian forum.

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love, in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

to the people that made this a reality-thank you for your hardwork and deadication-as someone wishing to compete someday this news is a huge motivating factor to train harder-thank you again

Thats awesome news!!! I did notice that the story mentioned W-1 and their inroads with their show, but as LTL ststed it's a count down till the large mouth Bass opens up about his tiny show in Edmonton being #1 LOL! W-1 makes that show look like a carnival.

I had to do a double take when I saw the headline on TSNs website, now maybe with the legalization of MMA in Ontario they'll get their shit together and cover it more.

 Oh yeah, this has to buuuuurn.

I am soooo excited about this.

I can't wait for the UFC in Toronto and all of the small promotions popping up around the province.

tis a good day frens

Awesome to hear.

It will be interesting to see what promoters will be the first to open up shop in Ontario.

I know maximum fighting has stated they will be hear in full force..

Yep.....the MFC will be out there shortly with about a dozen other shows but ONLY the amazing MFC will piss Everyone off from sponsors to politicions to gangs to fighters/management and venues, right down to the peanut vendors......No one knows how to F*ck himself with his big mouth more then Mark Paveldouche! Get ready Ontario......here cums da Scum.

Exciting stuff. Huge things in the next year.

:)

Excellent :)

It's a fine day folks.

The ban was joke. Everyone who knows MMA knows its not barbaric.. MMA gyms are the best places to be. It was always about the $$ with that ban..

Anyway, time for all Ontario folks to showcase what they got!

THIS BOAT! IS REAL!!
