With the announcement of 210 in Buffalo, the first thing I thought of was a friend I have in western New York who recently ran into Stipe in Cleveland for a pet adoption and Stipe mentioned to this person that he was fighting in Buffalo next. At the time last week, even though the news actually leaked in November but was said to be a hoax, I speculated it might be a fight night at best because of Buffalo's size. Obv last night changed that.
Cleveland is only 3 hours from Buffalo, it's got more of a Steel Belt vibe like Detroit and Cleveland than it does Boston or Brooklyn. And it's less time to Toronto which brings a shit ton of Canadian fans down to Erie County accompanied with all the peeps from Cleveland that will come out to support their boy. Maple Leafs games in Buff are always packed, so a UFC event anywhere from 10-100 minutes from Ontario, will be packed as fuck. Would not want to be working border patrol on a day like that.
Glad to see UFC do right by a hot bed of MMA fans in western New York that live this sport 24/7. I lived out there years back and every other month you would talk to people who went to UFC 7, and are still going today, or who are cousins with Harold Howard in the Falls across the bridge.
