First of all i know im not alone in saying im sick of seeing our local fighters in a UFC show. Just because the event is in Canada doesn't mean we all want to see Bocek, MacDonald, and Doerksen fight. I want to see the top talent in thier respective weight classes. I really don't care where they're from. I know you figure since GSP is the main event in Montreal it doesn't matter who else is on the card it will still sell out regardless. The sad thing is you're probably right but I plan on going to this event live and think it could use at least a decent co main event.
I gotta disagree. GSP/Koscheck was enough to sell the card on its own, but Alves/Howard, Miller/Oliviera, and Almeida/Grant are all very nice undercard bouts.
the last event was strong in comparison and realistically there weren't many contenders on it
Macdonald vs Salter
Yoshida vs Guymon
Hague vs Beltran
Grant vs Hendricks
Davis vs Goulet
Doerkson vs Lawlor
Kimbo vs Mitrione
Stout vs Stephens
Kos vs Daley
Shogun vs Machida
Riddle vs Waldeburger
Struve vs McCorkle (fight i am 2nd most looking forward to lol)
Miller vs Oliveira
Hazelett vs Bocek
Almeida vs Grant
Miller vs Doerkson
MacDonald vs Natal
Alves vs Howard
Gsp vs Kos
I think it at least deserves a good co main event. Us canadian fans are fuckin loyal and have the largest concentration of fans.
i was just looking at the card and thinking the same thing
needs a co-main bigtime
Wait, McCorkle/Struve isn't the headliner? Who is this GSP chap I keep hearing about.
Who would be available for that good co-main? rashad, JDS, umm marquardt, diego, even chuck or rich franklin?
wanderlei vs marquardt!
the card is missing 2 fights compared to the last card in MTL maybe i have jumped the gun and those sons a bitches at UFC are working on it! One can only hope!
ttt i demand justice!
Holy shit thats alot of great matchups.
They seem to always fuck over the Montreal fans. It's going to backfire hard one day.
They should just add one more quality fight to this card to make it alright.
lol those are not a lot of great match ups. take away gsp fight and thats shitty for a shine card
Vicious Psycho - lol those are not a lot of great match ups. take away gsp fight and thats shitty for a shine card
So you're saying that if you completely remove the main event, the card gets much worse? No shit, sherlock.
I know they can make exciting match ups but this isnt the organization for up and comers. everyone in the UFC should be an established fight either gunning for the title or to weed out those that won't make the cut. This is the big leagues. Only three-four? people on that card are higher paid fighters. kos, gsp, alves, MAYBE almeida. The rest get peanuts and someone who works at mcdonalds full time makes comparable money. its bullshit and yes montreal gets fucked over every time.
Well like I said Dana is always the one preaching about how boxing PPV's only have one good fight and u pay tons of money, well guess what this is. im sure some of the others will be exciting match ups but that doesnt change the fact that they are not top level in-contention-for-the-title fighters. KOTC has exciting cards too.
Vicious Psycho - lol those are not a lot of great match ups. take away gsp fight and thats shitty for a shine card
You have already said on the thread the line up isn't finished yet you continue saying its shitty.
Seriously dude stop talking to yourself or if you want to continue doing it, the least you could do is listen too yourself.
well even still the rest of the card isnt phenomenal. its 2 months away so they better finish it soon if they arent gonna give the co-main time for a proper training camp. it seems like every event outside of the USA is shitty. lol its so true! look at the upcoming events in england, germany, and canada. then look at the one in the usa. do some fighters refuse to fight internationally? i know BJ Penn is one of them
