In an interview with Sportsnet’s Aaron Bronsteter that was released last night, UFC President Dana White confirmed the rumour that the UFC will be coming back to Canada.
UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. Blanchfield will take place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, on November 2nd, and so far there are 4 Canadians slated to fight.
Jasmine Jasudavicius, Marc-André Barriault, Jamey-Lyn Horth, and Chad Anheliger will all be competing.
There is room yet on the card to add more bouts, so hopefully Calgarian Hakeem Dawodu or another will get the opportunity.
