If this the UFC’s return to Calgary, I’m hoping for a big title fight for this card… Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman hopefully, although it’s been rumored for a card in July so that might be out.
The only other Champs that don’t have bouts already scheduled for this time period are Renan Barao and Demetrious Johnson and neither will make up for UFC 149! GSP or Diaz could be ready in time but it would be somewhat of a quick turnaround.
Calgary is UFC 161 then Nov 2013 is Edmonton.
Edmonton deserves a UFC card, tons of fight fans, fighters and fight promotions run out of northern alta, Big fight city. I really hope its true!
Well-loved!

If you are not signed with this UFC there should be no reason that you get to fight in the UFC just because your hometown is hosting a UFC. The UFC roster is filled with stacked fighters that can be flown in for the undercards. There is no need to fill the undercard with local fighters. The UFC has tons of money to fly in the fighters currently on their roster. And with the price of admission, this is what the fans want to see. Big name UFC fighters fighting in their hometown.
Hot debate. What do you think?

If the UFC comes back to Toronto I’ll go and hopefully they show a lot of locals on the undercard. No doubt about main card, only those who are worthy. But I love seeing locals in the big show

UPDATE: Added Soa Palelei vs. Stipe Miocic
Pat Barry vs Shawn Jordan added per Ariel Helwani’s twitter.
Even I thumbs downed that
Updated:
Sam Stout (19-8) vs Isaac Vallie-Flagg (14-3)
lol eric! maybe he was talking about derek perez?
Hope Stout can pull out win vs Vallie Flag and get a win streak going
LOL! True.
Vallie-Flagg is a lot like Court McGee. Awkward style, super active, comes straight forward, accurate wth his strikes. Not much power though.
Update:
Sean Pierson (13-6) vs T.J. Waldburger (16-7)
I’d love to see Eric Perez on this card as a middleweight.
Hot debate. What do you think?

@MAD
I don’t think he can cut that much weight to make it 185. It has to be catchweight at 195!
Just kidding Eric! You’re still the man homie.
Jake
WOW great card,
how about ottawa, on next??
Delorme will be fighting Edwin Figueroa.
Updated:
Roland Delorme (8-1) vs Edwin Figueroa (9-2)
looking forward to watching Mitch “The Bitch” Clarke fail for a 3rd straight time and get sent back to Lloydminster to defend his belt against Jesse Veltri or some other clown
Hot debate. What do you think?

Although I never felt (and still don’t) think Mitch fought good enough guys to get into the UFC, I RESPECTFULLY (unlike STFU) think that Mitch will loose and be cut. I think we will see his true skills when he fights and beats top Canadian talent outside the UFC.
Wow stfu, you’re rhyming at a second grade level. Nice to see such a well educated troll!
