UFC 83 Bell Centre April 19th!!
- Thread starter Special K
- Start date
I too would take boxing over MMA although I am a fan of both, the undercard at UFC 83 totally sucks, other than the Lutter vs Franklin fight there isn't a fight that appeals to me, Dana knew that the place would sell out so he filled the undercard with Canadians and nobody's.
The best place to watch the fight is at a bar like Champ's for ten bucks and then go see a beautiful SP afterwards
(my plan), the food and beer is also much cheaper.

I used to be a boxing fan, and get all the big PPV fights, but now I follow MMA only. I find boxing too contrived, it is too far away from being a real fight. I find the ground fighting interesting, now that I understand it better. The ref is supposed to stand them up if they get stalemated, though the sometimes take their time doing so.
I'm assuming you don't have to pay for PPV events then Doc, because each UFC is $39.99 and most Boxing PPV's are $54.95.
Nope never heard of them, don't think we can get those things here. We used to be able to get cards for our directv boxes but they'd get zapped in no time and you'd be totally out of satellite.
From what I understand the tickets sold out shortly after going on sale...how much did a decent seat sell for? I wanted to go, but missed the boat lol.

Wow! no kidding! take lots of pics if you can! ?I rember going to an maa match a while back neer the stadium...this was when it was still pretty underground and i was so close i was cringing at every blow. lol its kind of like a car wreck the first time( you just can't look away).
Many of people are not a fan of the increase in grappling and submition thecniqes being used in this sport...I have to admit it does take alot of the excitement out of it. I hope for your sake the fighters realize how big a deal this is for mtl fans and supporters-and take the risk of showing off a bit
then again the last thing we need is a new version of wwe lmao.

The weigh in for UFC 83 is at the Bell Centre today from 3pm-5pm, it is free and open to the public, I am going to try to be there, also after the fight tomorrow night there will be two after party's, one will be at Newton which will be hosted by UFC fighter Patrick Cote and there is another one at some other bar which will be hosted by UFC fighter and Ultimate fighter team captain Forrest Griffith, I would imagine you would have to be there pretty early after the fight to get in.
By the way I am picking ST.Pierre by TKO in the second rd.

GSP is one of the nicest guys Ive met. Ive ran into him and his friends several times and Im always amazed at how down to earth and unaffected he is! Mind you, this week all the fighters are in town, to watch or to fight and there ALL really friendly.

I was at the weigh in on friday and the bell centre was packed, it was worth going too just to hear the loud booing that Serra got, there were some fighters after the event that went outside in front of the bell centre to take some pictures with the fans, I would also go to the fight but not for $250.00 and up, that is some serious SP cash that we are talking about.

I will pass on paying the $250 + as well. I heard that they lifted the ban that they normally have on local bars from showing this event. I am thing Champs, Le Cage, any other locations showing this one?
Joe.t said:
Damn that Joe.t is a smart man, I sure as hell wouldn't bet against him because he certainly knows his stuff when it comes to predictions.
The fight itself was total domination by GSP, he must have broken a few of Serra's ribs with those vicious knees, it will be interesting to see who he fights next, I'm with you Doc, the UFC is great but I also prefer boxing over UFC any day of the week.

That was the Kaleb Starnes vs. Nate Quarry fight...I heard that after that fight Kaleb took a plane to Boston and plans on running the Boston Marathon tomorrow!
On another note the best fight of the night was on the undercard that happened before the main television telecast and was shown after the GSP/Serra fight. Jonathon Goulet from Victoriaville, QC and a Japanese guy, great two way fight ending in the 2nd round with Goulet knocking out the Japanese guy.

Those who missed this one missed a hell of a fight, I stuck around after the majority of the people left and I'm glad I did as this was clearly the best fight of the night, what a war going back in forth finishing with a dramatic knockout by Goulet who showed great heart and courage after nearly getting stopped at the end of the first round, Goulet was one of the guys signing autographs in front of the bell centre on De la Gauchetière street after the weigh in on Friday, the guy has the heart of a lion as well as being a cool guy.
