WEC General Manager Reed Harris recently confirmed the good news for Canadian fight fans that the UFC sister-promotion will be bringing its unique brand of cagefighting across the border in the next few months. June 20, to be exact. The WEC has already requested and received the date from the Calgary Combative Sports Commission, according to our [...] Props: MMAWeekly Quoteworthy: “We’re going to go up to Canada, and we’re hoping to do that in the next few months. We’re looking at a few different cities and it’s really going to depend on dates and venues, and things like that. Again, we have television concerns and so there’s a lot of elements that go into [...] “It’s my meniscus again. It’s been torn for a year and a half now. I ain’t dumb enough to fight this guy injured, especially after so much trash talking between me and him. He’s a tough fighter and I guarantee his leg kick would have done more damage to my knee.

I’ll fight (Couture) and try to invert the score. How do I think it’d be? Just put us there, my friend … That’s how we see the things.” Newly re-signed UFC star [...] “You know what, during the taping of the show … We got into it every time we faced each other, you know?

Props: Gazeta do Povo
Quoteworthy:
