Rory/Wonderboy is one of the best fights they could have put together at 170. Not sure how it'll go but I like Rory's chances better if he can get it to the ground. He's a savage though so he'll probably stand with him.

Just a heads up the Asian festival will be held at Lansdown this weekend as well be prepared for very very long waits for buses/parking and restaurants/bars.

If Rory has fully recovered from the Lawler beating, he has a pretty good shot.

We've got an interesting middleweight bout buried on the prelims and some women's fight nobody gives a **** about on the main card. Oh, and the whole card is on obscure channels myself and many others don't get. Good jorb ufc.

Looks like a Bellator card, has me asking "remember when that guy was supposed to be good" for the entire card. A bunch of dudes that never took the next step.

Don't think that's really fair.

Which has literally nothing to do with anything in my post.

A big pay per view in Montreal a few years ago had about 10,000 yet this card which people are bashing it left and right will have over 11,000.

 

[dss97]

As a big Rory fan I'm worried, heart says Rory, brain says Wonderboy TKO.

 

[m9]

I like this card, it's a pretty ideal Fight Night.

 

[kurt]

Great main event fight.

No ones bashing the card. You're assuming we're attacking your city and got defensive quite easily.

 

[Suxnet]

Love both Rory and Wonderboy, so I can't cheer against either guy, but I hope it's a great fight.

Steve Bosse use to play hockey in that quebec goon league at one time.

 

[IamJust0ne]

No ones bashing the card.

Looks like a Bellator card

I think it's a great fight night. Two of the top WWs, Cowboy, Cote, and not to mention the Bosse/Alvey fights will both provide lots of fireworks

 

[jw2]

I was unaware that Bellator was derogatory. I'm watching right now.

It's usually a guy you've heard of, bs a guy you haven't.

 

[RonFournier]

Nice to see every fighter from Québec on a single card! The only one missing is GSP

The Létourneau fight should be good, she's essentially a brawling punching bag with lots of heart and a great chin. Aubin-Mercier has potential but his striking isn't very good. The Boss always gives a good show, and there's no doubt this one ends with a big KO. Patrick Côté has a pretty good chin so that fight is probably gonna be Cerrone showcasing his striking skills, but a KO by Côté would be absolutely crazy.

And then there's that amazing main event, it's going to be a war and I just can't predict a winner for that one.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I'm just going with Wonderboy. I like Wonderboy.

 

[darko]

Don't understand people *****ing about the fight cards. They can't all be great. Lesser guys gotta fight too.

Sam Alvey deserves to get cut after that performance

I missed that fight. Pretty bad?

Same here.

Vicious KO by Jotko.
