Canadian MMA Rumour Mill – April 4, 2019
Some huge news on this edition of the Canadian MMA Rumor Mill. The action is heating up with the MMA scene in Canada with tons of huge fights on the horizon.
…and now for the rumors!
- Toshido MMA fighters currently hold four XFFC titles however due to a dispute between Toshido coach David Lea and XFFC President Darren Cliffe they will be vacating those belts. Champions Matt Dwyer (MW), Justin Doege (HW), Steven MacDonald (LHW) and Blake Sigvaldason (BW) have all vacated their titles. Let’s hope the two sides can get together and sort out their differences and continue to work together in the future

Anyone know any details on the issue between Toshido and XFFC?
Whats the issue?
Started with XFFC demanding that Sigvaldason have an immediate rematch with Imperato. (3 straight losses)
Even tho Sigvaldason took it on 2 weeks notice.
XFFC guy then confused his organization with the UFC and himself with Dana White.
I’m sure they take consolation in still having Stoute as a champ and at least Imperato will always be the “you peoples” champ lol
Well-loved!
