While the number of UFC fans is currently behind some mainstream sports, like Major League Baseball (38% of Canadian adults are fans), the UFC is gaining momentum and might soon approach the fan base of other sports such as NBA Basketball (26% of Canadian adults are fans). Tonight, at UFC 100, welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St-Pierre defended his title in dominating fashion against Brazilian Thiago Alves. St-Pierre, know to fans as GSP, was born in Saint-Isidore, Quebec and trains out of Montreal. The controversial sport is still illegal in Ontario.
