I'm torn over the recent announcement that GSP will be stepping in to fight Hughes. While this promises to be a great fight, it probably means that a Montreal UFC event will be put off yet again. I just don't see them holding a UFC in Montreal without GSP fighting. Dana White said he would be in Montreal in January with a UFC event. If GSP wins then he could have the title match against Sera in Montreal but with Sera's injusry and GSP fighting in late December, we won't probably see that fight for months. We Canadian UFC fans get shafted again! Dana, are you renegging on your promise?

I'm Canadian and im aruging against your point. Say it was originally going to be serra vs hughes.. and the winner faces gsp. GSP wouldn't fight till april at the very least against Hughes or Serra, and if UFC was going to montreal as you claim in January, GSP wouldn't be on the card anyways... he's first in line for a title fight and a champion rarely fights another opponent 1 month after winning or defending a title. In the same breath, Dana claims to bring the UFC to Canada a bunch of times because it was origianlly thought that GSP was going to beat serra.

The January event UFC 80 is in Newcastle, England altho it is the 2nd(i think) of Jan unless there is a another UFC in late Jan or another Fight Night an event Canada looks doubtful.

I don't think we are arguing, really. I think we are saying the same thing. Dana White said in an interview on Fight network that he would be coming to Canada with UFC in a January event and said that the city would most likely be Montreal. Anyway, my point was that we won't be seeing a UFC event in Canada till probably the second half of 2008.

WHAT?!

This was one of the best cards we've ever seen BEFORE the Serra/GSP change. I think a lot of people would agree that while Hughes v Serra has draw from TUF... it isn't the fight most anticipated. Silva v Liddell is huge (even though it would have been bigger in their prime), especially after Chuck's failed attempt to meetup with Wandy in Pride (that meeting was thwarted courtesy of Rampage). A lot of people have been looking forward to seeing Sokoudjou in the UFC and Machida is a fantastic opponent for him. The Boogey Man's return should also be exciting. I could go over EVERY fight I want to see and why... but changing Serra for GSP did very little in the ways of attracting me to the event.

Anyone else thinks that this is the worst time for putting Chuck vs Wand fight? I mean they should be fighting each other in their best, not worst time of career...
I just don't feel the hype...

[Damone]

Liddell vs Wandy would've ruled in 04, when they were both at their best. Now, it just seems like we're getting to see an old porn stars flabby boobies for the very first time. The hype is gone.
