Quote:

Notes(at): UFC president Dana White reiterated Thursday that the UFC is coming to Montreal in April. The card is expected for April 19 at the Bell Centre. "No matter what happens Saturday night, we'd like Georges St. Pierre to be on that card so we'll see what happens."

I am glad that this event will happen. It will be good for GSP. If the UFC is doing this as a special for GSP, then that really shows the loyalty of the UFC towards GSP. It's like holding UK events that allow Cro-Cop to minimize his travel time (not that I know they did that especially for him, but it turned out that way).

It would be like having a UFC event in Moscow, Russia for Andre Arlovski so he can fight in front of his own people (or for Fedor, had he signed). I like it that the UFC has held more international events. I hope we see more from more exoctic places: Italy, Greece, Spain, Germany, Thailand, Austrailia, India, Brazil, Mexico, etc, etc.

I can't wait as this is the closest an event has been to my hometown. Looking forward to going to my first event.
