This is exciting. Canada has a huge UFC fan base and the provincial government finally gave approval for MMA to be allowed here. Dana has been trying to get the Toronto market for a long time. He now has it. Ottawa, is Ontarios second biggest market and we have an 18,500 capacity arena. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

They have been to Montreal twice and Vancouver. All three were immediate sellouts. Toronto fans will go crazy over an event there. I wouldn't count out that if they had it at the Skydome, it would sell out. 65,000 seats. They are that into it. Put GSP onto the card, I would guarantee it. I've seen a couple of local cards across the river in Quebec. No namers in general, but they had to turn fans away at a 10,000 seat arena. Oh ya man, this is huge

ufc could have found the venues that will allow them to sell enough tickets to drop the ppv price. which would put them light years ahead of strikeforce if they move to ppv.
