Comments on: UFC Lobbying for Criminal Code Changes at Federal Level in Canada http://mmapayout.com/2009/09/ufc-lobbying-for-criminal-code-changes-at-federal-level-in-canada/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:57:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Derek Stewart http://mmapayout.com/2009/09/ufc-lobbying-for-criminal-code-changes-at-federal-level-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-596 Derek Stewart Sat, 05 Sep 2009 04:13:09 +0000 http://mmapayout.com/?p=5343#comment-596 When are the so-called "hardcore" fans going to realize all the effort and, more importantly, money that Zuffa is unloading worldwide to make this sport a success? I read over and over again how Zuffa should be ashamed what they pay their fighters. Obviously, the critics have no concept of what it takes to run a business, don't read articles like this, or appreciate that the trailblazing done today by Zuffa's legal team will allow them access to UFC, WEC, Strikeforce, and smaller regional promotions everywhere.

Local shows will go along with the different little changes to the rules the commission wants but the UFC wont. I dont see 2010 as promossing as some are reporting for canada. Here is my prediction, again 1 show in montreal with those modified ruled to make a couple goverment workers happy I hope to be wrong but I am from canada and I do not really like the look of MMA for UFC right now.

Hopefully that means we can see an event in our own hometown one of these years. I know we've been trying to get a UFC event in Winnipeg, but without proper sanctioning it's a dead issue. Generally I despise lobbyists and their efforts, but this actually makes me happy. :) Wow, great news for Canadians. Hopefully that means we can see an event in our own hometown one of these years.
