Remember when the
UFC wined and dined Toronto? Brought us chocolates and flowers. Flattered us.
Called us the Mecca of the MMA world. Said our fight fans were among the best
around.
Oh, what a
relationship we had. It seemed so perfect. They brought us cards with names
such as Georges St. Pierre, Jon Jones, Randy Couture, Lyoto Machida and Jose
Aldo. We thought it would never end.And then they walked
away, turned their back on us, ghosted us.

All we could do was sit and watch as the months turned into years without an
event in one of North America’s largest markets.
Well, finally, our
time has arrived. After more than three years, the UFC has returned to Hogtown.
But they haven’t
busted down the front door proclaiming their undying loyalty to us and
showering us with a blockbuster card.

card. Instead, they have returned with a card that, well, seems more
suited to a Fight Night in Moncton. (No offence to Moncton, a fine town if ever
there was one.)
No, the blockbuster
event we were all hoping for has already taken place many times, most recently
in November at UFC 205 in New York, where three title fights were on display,
including Conor McGregor taking the lightweight crown from Eddie Alvarez to
become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously.
And what does
Toronto get for its main event? Fifth-ranked Anthony Pettis, with just one bout
under his belt in the 145-pound division, battling No. 2 Max Holloway for the
interim featherweight crown. And, not surprisingly, although these are two
dynamic fighters -Holloway is riding a nine-fight win streak - fans are
underwhelmed.
There have even been
tweets from loyal MMA followers to boycott UFC 206, which is set to go Saturday
night at the Air Canada Centre, due to its lack of punch - some calling it the
worst pay-per-view card ever - and the absence of a fighter named GSP.
With a crowded fight
calendar - there is even a Fight Night in Albany, N.Y., on Friday - this is
just another event crammed into an overflowing schedule.

time Not that the UFC didn’t try. Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson
were slated to battle it out for the light-heavyweight crown in the main event
before Cormier had to pull the plug due to injury. How hard the organization
tried to fill the hole, though, we’re not entirely sure.
At any rate, the UFC
206 festivities kicked off on Wednesday with open workouts held at venerable
music house Massey Hall. And, holloway vs pettis though it was
free to the public, Joe Rogan will undoubtedly draw a larger crowd when he hits
the stage there on Friday night for a stand-up set.
It’s not that this
card isn’t without some intrigue. But much of it comes from what is happening
outside UFC 206 rather than in it.
