It's decent by TKO standards, but nothing to write home about. Average LFA card is probably better.

Yep, Canada's MMA isn't what it used to be....

 

[Flex Plexico]

Oh shit- Icho Larenas!

that dude was jacked...

I remember him from an old UFC

 

[The_Renaissance]

Good card but why the fuck is a prospect like Dyzcka fighting fucking Larenas instead of for the title?! especially when there's no opponent announced for the title fight!?

Also, Barriault will be in the UFC soon I reckon.

That guy was arrested in Mexico in 2010.
After a shooting in a club, also related to drug trafficking.
I found 2 article on this, in french & spanish tho (sorry)

Later moved to Argentina, build a pretty good boxing record there.

Dyczka got strip of the title last december.
failed a drug test for.... weed -_-'
4 months suspension
Can't fight right away for the title he was stripped.

And yes, Barriault will be in the UFC by the end of the year imo.

Makes sense.

Him vs. that Pessoa (8-0) guy will end up being a very cool title fight. Also that Sakho guy (1-1) that Dyzcka beat recently might be one to watch at 205lbs, way too stringy for HW.

The winner of Dyczka Vs Pessoa will probably get call up in the UFC.

Sahko have a pretty good kickboxing back groung.
He was close to 230lbs Vs Adam, so He will be a big-strong LHW for sure.
Fun to watch, might become a fan favorite in TKO

Great spinning kick KO around 1:25

UCC back in the day was fucking amazing. Wish it could get back to that level.

 

[executionermma]

Good card, will watch. Sakho opponent announced by now?
