Canadians in Combat – June 2020

Top MMA News will be focusing exclusively on Canadian MMA and taking a step back from posting UFC, Bellator, PFL and other fight cards unless they take place in the Great White North! With that being said at the beginning of each month we’ll be posting a list of Canadian fighters that will be competing outside Canada.
It’s been a long 2+ months since the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the majority of the world including all MMA and sporting events but there’s some hope on the horizon. Several Canadian fighters have been booked to compete in June and more are rumored to be in negotiations for the upcoming weeks.
As the fights occur we will update this post with the results and Top MMA News will remain your #1 Source for Canadian MMA News. All the fights this month are likely emanating from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
