UFC, yes. Smaller mixed martial arts events in Vancouver, not looking good

July 14th, 2010 · 5 Comments

Chris Parry at the Vancouver Sun wrote about this earlier and I followed up this week to see whether there’s any likelihood that the city’s UFC event would pave the way for future MMA bouts.

Apparently not, because any other events would likely be put on by smaller promoters and no one sees a way for them to be able to fulfill the financial demands the city puts up the way the UFC did.

    Ummm Frances,

    The link above starts out thusly:

    ‘For the third time in five years, Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly has warned city councillors to curb levels of alcohol consumption that have made a few elected officials stand out even in a town known for its hard-partying ways’

    Shurely, the Mayor of Halifax is not scolding our own council for partying after the last UFC event, though I note some were in attendance.

    Although I think they were drinking when they allowed UFC 1115 to happen in the first place. 🙂

    Thank fucking Christ, as the mayor would say. Someone who’s making a joke.

    Lol!

    I think there should be a special bout where the two brothers who beat up those dudes have a cage fight with pitbulls seized from grow-ops.

    Ron,

    I would take that bet to the casino!
