Why the hell does Jones always fight in Toronto?

[WonderBrah**]

Enough is enough. We don't even like him. Why is he always fighting here?

 

[Edmond Rousey]

No legal fights in his home state of NY. He also fights in NJ.

You know, I really have no idea why? Perhaps when he competes there seats are sold and PPV numbers do well?

lol agreed
still though, its nice to see that the ufc likes to put their biggest stars on the toronto events.

The first two fights were short notice replacements.

I have no idea why they keep scheduling him to fight in Toronto either, but since I just moved here, I'm glad that I finally get a chance to see him fight in person.

Gus wanted Sweden (obviously) or Las Vegas. So he gets Toronto. Makes sense.

 

[Dart Feld]

Maybe Canada should start producing better talent so there can be a Canadian champ to headline for their cards.

Best shot right now is...Grant.

Nope. The Toronto shows that he headlines don't even sell out. There's basically no buzz at all for his fights here.

 

[Arne Rud]

I still hope for Sweden

I didn't know you spoke for the entire population of Canada.

The arena holds a lot more seats than Vegas, MMA is not legal in MSG, and the location is close to where Jon grew up.

Did you know Jon went to Tristar before he ever went to Greg Jackson's?

canadian white girls are pretty hot.

anyway does he always sell out a stadium when he fights up north? maybe that why? i don't know.

I speak for the entire city of Toronto.

He can fight somewhere else in Canada. We're sick of him here.

And they don't give him the time of day. Have you not seen the 5/10 he put a ring on?

And p.s. the hispanic chicks here are WAY hotter.

Yeah, fuck the recognized P4P fighter coming to town to fight a guy that many people think could beat him.

I guess that what they say about Toronto sports fans is true.

I have no problem with this....I'll be there live.

Yeah, I'm sure that he'd have the exact same luck pulling now that he's a millionaire pro athlete as he did when he was a HS kid in small town NY.
