1 day ago | ufc.com | E. Spencer Kyte

After taking a step back over the last year, Cameron Saaiman is all smiles as he counts down the days, hours, minutes until he can stride out to the Octagon again on Saturday night in Kansas City. “It doesn’t feel like it’s been a year, which is actually crazy,” began the South African bantamweight, who faces off with fellow Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) grad Malcolm Wellmaker in a combustible preliminary card bout this weekend at T-Mobile Center. “Everything feels familiar; it’s weird.

“I showed my toughness, I showed my endurance, I showed everybody I’m here to prove I’m one of the best 125’ers,” he added, finding a silver lining to the decision defeat. “On April 26th I’m gonna prove a point.” Flick, who takes on Matt Schnell this weekend in Kansas City, has struggled with consistency over the course of his UFC tenure.

As we continue our Canadian-focused march through the history books as we head towards the promotion’s return to Montreal next month, we’ve already covered the top fights to take place in both the host city and the country as a whole. Now it’s time to dive into the moments that have transpired here in the Great White North.
The 10 | The Best Of The UFC In Montreal

In order to understand why this one makes the list, you have to know how we got here. Machida and Rua fought a little more than seven months earlier in Los Angeles, with Machida winning one of the most debated and unlikely decisions in memory at the time. I watched it at a bar with some friends, and I distinctly remember a loyal Machida fan stomping out of the joint in a fit, certain — as the rest of us were — that “The Dragon” was about to lose the light heavyweight title.
Belal Muhammad Welcomes All Doubters

6 days ago | ufc.com | Zac Pacleb

All that work is currently aimed at his first title defense at UFC 315 in Montreal. Originally, many believed he would face the undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov. The two even faced off following Rakhmonov’s win over Ian Machado Garry at UFC 310, but an injury changed those plans, and after some shuffling, Australia’s Jack Della Maddalena got the call. Muhammad joked that he was surprised as anyone and took a little satisfaction in the fact that Della Maddalena was originally slated to face Edwards.

A handful of talented non-Canadians passed through the city as well, underscoring just how much of an epicenter for the sport Montreal was at the time. Less than a year before making his UFC debut, Rich Franklin competed at UCC 10, which took place in Hull, Quebec, defeating Yan Pellerin.

“It was amazing, but you must remember that I come from Mexicali/Tijuana, where it is also the cradle of boxing,” said Chairez. “Julio Cesar Chavez also trained there, and they have an amazing team, so my boxing is of a good level. It was an honor, and I'll be back.”Oh yeah, Julio Cesar Chavez, “The Lion of Culiacan” and perhaps the greatest Mexican boxer to ever lace up the gloves. The 62-year-old hall of famer just happened to be Octagonside at Arena CDMX for Chairez’ fight with Vergara.

The former collegiate track athlete moved to Dallas brandishing a 0-3 record inside the Octagon, having dropped her short-notice debut to Tecia Pennington before losing consecutive decisions to Loma Lookboonmee and Luana Pinheiro. A good athlete with a tremendous work ethic, Saud was impressed with “Sampage” as soon as she turned up on the mats.
