UFC Ottawa is looming, and one of Canadian MMA\u2019s most promising, surging fighters foresees a big win over a former Alex Pereira opponent, vaulting him toward that April UFC card in Canada.<\/p>\n
The UFC is coming back to Canada once again and is back in the capital city<\/a> this time out. On the grassroots scene in the great fight north, Bobby Poulter will clash with former \u2018Poatan\u2019 kickboxing opponent and kickboxing legend Simon Marcus in a clash for the Unified MMA welterweight title at Unified MMA 66 on Friday, February 20th, in Toronto.<\/p>\n After mentioning how it seems like the UFC has been trying to fill out more Canadian dates in their promotional schedule in the last few years, Poulter said [via MMA Canada<\/a>],<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, definitely and I love that, man, because the more the UFC comes to Canada, the more opportunities we have. Because, you know, as a Canadian, we can\u2019t necessarily fill in short notice to the fights that are happening in Vegas or in the States. So like if they\u2019re here, that just opens the opportunity for me to be ready because after this fight, I know I\u2019ve heard rumors that they\u2019re coming in April.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf the UFC comes in April, I\u2019ll just be cutting weight. I\u2019ll be ready to go at \u201970 or \u201985 or 205 for that matter. I don\u2019t care. Like any opportunity to fight for the UFC, I would not even think twice. I\u2019d be signing that contract in a heartbeat. So this is the best opportunity for me at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Unified MMA 66, UFC Ottawa, and striving to become a \u201chousehold name for MMA in Canada\u201d<\/p>\n
