UFC 97 (April 18th, Montreal) was supposed to be a triumphant return to the city that gave the UFC its fastest-selling, most well-attended event in history. But even though last year’s UFC 83: Serra vs. St. Pierre 2 was such an overwhelming success, the Quebec Athletic Commission may block the UFC from holding future events there under traditional MMA rules. As Sportnet.ca reports:
Due to circumstances surrounding
the fallout from an event held last week in Montreal, the Quebec Athletic Commission (under the Régie des Alcools, des Courses et des Jeux) is re-evaluating rules that govern the sport of mixed martial arts within the province, according to Sportsnet sources.
To date, the QAC has been following the Unified Rules of MMA in North America. But since laws differ by city, state or province, a commission can insist on its own rules, which could differ drastically.
Changes the commission may implement could affect UFC 97, the Las Vegas-based promotion’s second event in Canada…Sources say these could include a requirement for a much smaller cage than the UFC’s patented Octagon, prohibiting elbow and knee strikes and requiring that the referee halt a bout should a fighter get knocked down from a strike in order to ensure the downed fighter is okay to continue.
Representatives from the commission told Sportsnet.ca the UFC will have to follow the rules set forth by the commission if they wish to hold their show in Montreal. Marc Ratner, the UFC’s vice president of government and regulatory affairs, is fully aware of the new situation and is hopeful that ongoing discussions with the commission will prove that this will not jeopardize the UFC’s return to the province.
Obviously, there’s no way the UFC would agree to such a compromised version of their product, and they’re probably looking for a backup arena somewhere else just to be safe. (Which is a bummer if you’re a Canadian UFC fan, considering 13,000 tickets to the event have already been sold.) But here’s where things go from upsetting to just plain bizarre…
Apparently, the Unified Rules of MMA weren’t allowed in Quebec last year either:
Réjean Thériault, the communications director for the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux, which governs alcohol, racing, gambling and combat sports in Quebec, told CorusSports the UFC’s use of elbows and knees to the head do not currently fall in line with the commission’s policies.
The commission’s current policies only apply to boxing, kickboxing and mixed boxing and do not provide regulations on the use of a cage.
Thursday’s revelation was particularly curious considering the UFC held the highest-attended event in company history, "UFC 83: Serra vs. St. Pierre 2," in Montreal nearly one year ago. According to the report, the commission was unaware of the UFC’s 2008 event — attended by more than 21,000 people and generating $5.1 million in ticket sales — until just a few days ago.
Unbelievable. You’d think that at least one person on the board that governs combat sports would have at least a passing awareness of the UFC. Add it to your Google Alerts, guys, it’s not hard. We’ll keep you updated on the situation, but it doesn’t look good. In the meantime, shake your fist at promoter Stephane Patry and hapless fighter James "The Colossus" Thompson, who may have sunk MMA in Quebec for the foreseeable future.

Idiots. "Requiring that the referee halt a bout should a fighter get knocked down from a strike in order to ensure the downed fighter is okay to continue," (also known as the standing eight count) is one of the things that makes boxing MORE dangerous than MMA. I can't believe these kinds of misconceptions exist with people who run athletic commissions.

this is bullshit.

Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:35
WHAAAAAT? They didn't even KNOW the event took place? And they're the comminsion that regulates that sport? Wow...I thought things were bad in the US, you poor Canucks are screwed. I blame War Machine. he must have had a hand in this. ...actually, I know War Machine had nothing to do with this, but I just wanted to bring up his name to piss off the whiners who keep sayng "Waaagh...you guys are always talkin' about War Machine...waaaagh!" SHUT UP, WHINERS! war machine... War machine... WAr machine... WAR machine... WAR Machine... WAR MAchine... WAR MAChine... WAR MACHine... WAR MACHIne... WAR MACHINe... WAR MACHINE!!!
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:38
I thibk it's the fact that the card sucks, the commision wants the ufc to put on a better card. Take this shit somewhere else liddel vs shogun, leites vs silva who cares. I bet if they brought a better card they would have no problem.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:39
lol canadians fail
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:40
Gsp was the canadian athlete of the year. You would think these dumbasses would get a f'in clue. If gsp is truly the nations hero, then how did these guys not know about the previous fight? I'm calling major bullshit by commission on this one. The ufc should pack it's bags now and tell the retarded canadians to f off for trying to pull a stunt like this. Damn canadians trying to play stupid. What a joke.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:42
???Dana calls promotion team??? Dana : "Hey, did you remember to call Montreal last week?" Recent College Grad : "Uh, yeah, yeah Dana, we took care of that..." Dana : "Are you f***ing sure?" RCG : "Yeah man, no problems..." Dana : "Alright good, do you remember what I told you when I brought you into this business?" RCG : "Yeah of course, you said 'Do I want to be a f***ing fight promoter?'" Dana : "No, I said do YOU want to be a f***ing fight promoter..." RCG : "Yeah that's what I meant I just..." Dana : "F*** it bro, just f*** it..."
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:43
It was probably all just a matter of miscommunication, because I don't think there's anyone in the world, even Canada, that doesn't know James Thompson will eventually hit the ground.

I can't see their commission in these hard economic times just saying fuck off UFC. Go take your millions in possible revenue for Quebec elsewhere. I would like to know what happened in that other event that got their panties all in a twist. Get on it CP!
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:46
Friday at a Strikebox/Titans Fighting event in Montreal. That event, promoted by former TKO president Stephan Patry, aimed to utilize MMA striking rules, but negated the ground aspect of the sport. However, the commission advised Patry that the proposed rule changes would not be allowed, and that the show would follow MMA regulations instead. A private agreement amongst a majority of the fighters to keep the bouts standing was followed until the main event, when British brawler James Thompson took down Steve Bosse and began to ground-and-pound the Canadian hockey enforcer. The crowd of nearly 1,200 spectators erupted in disapproval, throwing chairs and beer cans. The commission called the contest, while the fighters had to be escorted out of the cage by security. That sucks.... If I was the UFC I would just cancle the event and move it back to the US... maybe some place close to the border?
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:46
My plea, come to Alberta UFC to hell with Quebec.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:49
um....oh yeah. I see that link now. Nm CP. Good work.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:49
Ugh this is depressing. Athletic commissions here are so pathetic, Quebec was really our big hope to get a foot in the door. The UFC needs to go shopping in the prairies. Sure there are more bible thumpers there, but Ontario is wound a little too tight to probably have any headroom for real MMA here. But damn I bet you could fill the Skydome with a good card, UFC is huge here.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:49
Its almost funny on a totally retard level that u can be the commision and claim not to have known that the ufc sold out their own arena and their own native son gsp was in the main event. what a crock of shit who do they think they r kidding. not just any ufc but the fastest selling highest gate and have a canuck in the main event, is that it? if theres a canadian in the main event its all good if not well enforce the rules what a fn joke i hope the ufc cancells this card there and never returns again. with hotels and food places gettin all the extra money they dont deserve. u guys on the commision have drank way too much molson and lebatts get a f'n clue and try to sell this bs to someone else. f**k canada.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:49
Heh, where is that guy UFC in Calgary... He is always pleading for a Calgary event...
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:50
Uhhh. It was James Thompson's fault. They tried to pull some Seth Petruzelli bullshit on him. The people of Quebec are solely responsible for this shit. fuck. shit shit. fuckshit.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:50
As much as Dana White and Zuffa sucks off these guys from the Athletic commissions you wouldn't think something like this would happen.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:53
As a Canadian allow me apologize for the fucking Québécois.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:54
Cancel the event and move elsewhere.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:56
wait a minute, before we get into the canada sucks theme lets get some things straight. -The American government started world war III -The are running a trillion dollar debt per year for the next 3 years (thats over $3300.00 per person per year, so if you have a family of 5 thats over $16,000 your government is over spending) -The only "terrorist attack" in the last 8 years on US soil was planned by... -80% of americans polled during the election though there was gonna be change. This has since fallen to 60% in less than a month. -They are trying to pass a law to have everyone chipped in the coming years. (keeps getting rejected by the people) maybe don't jump on the anti canadian bandwagon
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:56
theres only 2 possible explanations. #1 they r just plain full of shit. #2 they are so dumb they r willing to admit that they had no knowledge of the biggest event to hit canada since hockey and beer. either option doesnt look good and theese idiots dont deserve an event like the ufc. then again its a really shitty card maybe its excatly what they deserve and i hope they dont sell out of vaseline at the local drug stores. canada sucks anyway who cares.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 06:59
Looks like this will be the last UFC event in my hometown of Montreal. If it happens, of course. Typical. Stupid Quebec politicians and organizations playing their political games and sticking it to organizations like the UFC. Pathetic. Honestly, I'd rather have the UFC NOT come to Montreal at this point and give this overzealous commission a big middle finger.

Way to go Canada. Do everything in your power to spare us from that horrible card.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 07:15
Here is the problem: "which governs alcohol, racing, gambling and combat sports " Why are combat sports governed by the same agency as ALCOHOL AND GAMBLING? Shouldn't there be some time of actual athletic commission? It sounds like "combat sports" is perceived as a vice by these guys, not a legitimate sport.

Before you all go off ripping on Canada as a whole, keep in mind that the part causing problems is French and the rest of Canada doesn't even want them. These are the same people that give cigarettes to babies.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 07:36
Why are the americans on this page saying Canada sucks? Just because they came out with this annoucement the whole country sucks???? Thats why everyone hates americans.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 07:39
Just because the commission says they don't like the violence doesn't mean us Canadians dont. Remember it was us Canadians who still has the record sell out last time it was in Montreal. Personally I wish UFC was more violent ie: Soccer kicks, Stomps, Knees to a ground opponent!
Fri, 02/13/09 - 07:44
I just have to say that I have lost faith in OBI. Your repeated screams of "War Machine" have deafened my ears to you. Its kinda nice its this quiet world without WM.

You only have yourself to blame Dana...you fucking tard!
Fri, 02/13/09 - 07:59
Well there is obviously more to this story than meet the eye. No way in hell they didn't know about the UFC in Montreal last year. It happened at the biggest stadium in the province and would have been advertised everywhere. Not to mention GSP was on the card and he is celebrated here in English speaking Canada and I can only imagine my neighbors a few hours to the east love him even more. I call shenanigans. Perhaps they are trying to extort some extra cash out. Oh, not to mention, anyone who has watched a TKO event knows they do follow these rules. Dig a little deeper Ben & Ben.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 08:03
On a side note, what the hell is wrong with all you Quebec bashing assholes? The ones from Canada that is. Quebec is part of Canada and is a nice province. Learn to love your country dicks. You think there's not 1000's of ways to insult you guys from out west?

Lets pile on Alberta, cause we are the only Province to not have PST, and a Provincial Debt. 3. Lets Pile on the West for Bailing out the Enitre East Coast bar sceen to get workers for the oil sands 4.

Canada > USA In the USA, they use your tax dollars to kill people in other countries. In Canada, they use your tax dollars to give everyone free healthcare. I don't want to get in to it about politics, it's too painful to do so on this website because the average MMA fan is a clueless sheep. Waste of my time.

No, Ricky, we are not Canada's shitty underpants, although, I would believe that Canada has shitty underpants (Seriously, it's about time you changed those, Ricky. They're a bit gamey) America is the well endowed groin area, as evidenced by the shape of Florida. We're hung like a state, baby.

Alright, Ricky, I will. Enjoy your UFC event...
Fri, 02/13/09 - 09:25
Brad, traditionally Quebec has been full of fuckups, this one notwithstanding. Although you have brought us the lovely poutine and your strip clubs are fabulous, you've also brought us referendums costing millions of dollars, the federal Bloc party (which sucks tons of cash out of the government), and last but not least, Celine Dion.

Fri, 02/13/09 - 10:08
The sheer lack of knowledge about this subject is incredible. I just moved to Quebec from Phoenix and all you hateful Americans are making me ashamed of my home. So what if it doesnt go through here it will not affect America in any way. If you buy it on pay-per-view it doesnt matter where the event actually is. Also there are just as many crooked politicians and athletic board members here as there are in every state in America. Get over it.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 10:19
All the fun anti-Quebec stuff aside....this makes no sense. Why would they want to make it so that their hometown hero, and Canadian Athlete of the Year, GSP, could never fight in his home province again? I assume this will all be ironed out soon. I just can't believe the upstart Strikebox...I'm sorry, Titan Fights started this whole mess with some pathetic no-ground-game gentleman's agreement BS in a James freaking Thompson fight.

@ BULLET TOOTH TONY I have a question. You said "you really should step back and realize you are the most hated people in the world", blahblah etc. My question is: yeah, we are the most hated people in the world, and what the fuck are you gonna do about it? :) P.S. The whole "talk like this in canada or whatever country yr offending and you will get turned over" statement goes both ways. P.P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the UFC, the LARGEST FUCKING MMA PROMOTER IN THE WORLD, created in America? The company that is being talked about on this particular post? Oh yeah, I'm not wrong. Americans fucking suck, right?
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:05
Who gives a shit. All of you bragging about how great your country is never did a godamn thing to make it that way, you just happen to live there. If you were to have been born over here or vice versa you'd be having the exact same argument in reverse. Stop being a bunch of dumbasses.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:08
I'm an American for the record, and no I don't think just because two people happened to bang in this country and I happened to pop out that it makes me any better or any worse than a Canadian. I'm better than you for my own reasons.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:11

Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:22
James: A lot of Americans bash anything and everything. Dead or living. Doesn't matter. This whole thing doesn't really have anything to do with the back and forth country argument. You know; there is a reason even boxing hates going to Quebec. They either give them a hard time or try rig it for locals. "It's just a bunch of Canadians being pussies.....again." Yea, too bad 70% of Canadians would knock your lights out. Then you'd go home get a gun and commit and murder/suicide. Who's what now?

@ Fedor a million ankles I am happy to pay taxes that my government uses to kill people from other countries, because the sons of bitches need killing. I only wish I was still in the Army so I could get in on the killing. If only we hadn't had a pussy named Carter as President when Iran was fucking with us. I would much rather see my taxes used to fight and kill terrorists than see them used to pay the hospital bills/welfare for some scumbag bitch with 14 kids.

Fri, 02/13/09 - 12:32
If you know anything about Canada, you'd know that Quebec tries to act like its own country - even tried to separate a few years back. So even if something seems retarded, if it's different than the rest of Canada, they're all for it. Montreal fans will riot in the streets (burning shit and smashing windows) after their team WINS a hockey match in the playoffs. Kind of the opposite way to do things. This is just another fail for Quebec. Believe me, there isn't that much good coming out of Quebec besides some MMA fighters, some chicks and Schwartz's smoked meat sandwiches. Quebec is Canada's creepy relative that you don't want to leave with small children.

Oh and when I say Montreal fans rioting. It's in their own city. Retarded.

Yeah and don't forget the black helicopters keep circling our houses. The govenmenrt is trying to control our minds through fillings in our teeth. 3000 Jews were telephoned the night before 9/11 to not go to the twin towers. And President Bush pulled the most magnificent, birrliant, no error, perfectly executed self attack on the US. I mean not one single mistake, it was perfect and we only had to blame some towelies. Also Rapture watch out, I'll go and your going to be left behind. Ha ha ha ha.

Its not Canadians its the dumbass government........we don't have bombs so they have to make themselves feel important somehow. I"m Canadian and if they pull this shit I hope ufc never comes back here again.

If they cancel the event and reimburse everyone for the tickets, do you think the UFC will offer refunds on Fight Club memberships that were purchased to enable us to buy tickets via the pre-sale? They sold out in 20 minutes last year. Unfortunately, it took me 3.5 hours to get through on the phone!

I think we are still bitter about the time you tried to separate from us. Your lucky you have the city of Montreal, Tremblant, and GSP or there really wouldnt be any reason to like you!

I wonder how the QAC feels about taking on a born again ex-professional steriod abuser/fighter, turned D.A.R.E. spokesman, turned F.B.I. informant, aboard to smooth things out?

Better playing stupid than being from a country known almost exclusively for actually being stupid.
Mon, 02/23/09 - 05:59
The states suck. They couldn't lick Canada's asshole if they tried, eh? And about you guys being able to kick our asses lets go back to the war of 1812, we wiped the floor with you or how about recently when GSP wiped the mat with you precious BJ Penn, Matt Hughes and Matt Serra
