If the UFC won’t sign Ryan Ford I’d like to see him fight for an organization like this!!
Yeah World Series of Fighting would be good for Ford as well. Dana needs to give his head a shake and sign the Real Deal!
Only from assumption but if what is “hear say” why he is not in the UFC does that go for over seas to like Japan, China, Asia, Australia etc? Ford would be a huge huge grab for some of the promotions if its possible I am just far to poor to travel,,, so I have no idea what you are required to do to travel those places.
WSOF I think puts Ryan in same spot as UFC but definatly curious and would love to see him ONE FC cause hell I would love to toss with Baroni or any of those guys so I know Ryan would enjoy every minute of it not to mention I hear they compensate you well.
Who manages Ryan? have they looked into over seas or is it not doable?
Just as far as I know, Ryan ford isn’t allowed to fight out side of Canada due to his past. don’t know if he has got that off his record by now. But UFC won’t sign anyone if they can only exclusively fight in Canada.
This event will air live on The Fight Network at 7am et, not sure if it includes the prelims or just the main card.
