Canada may be one of the hottest places for MMA right now, and it shows through the talent that is showing up in the UFC and regional promotions.
Pioneers such as Georges St. Pierre have made MMA a popular entity in the country. Emerging players like Rory MacDonald have taken his lead to create new contenders from Canada.
Here are the best prospects from Canada.
Below are the other installments of this “prospect” series.

Jake Ellenberger walked out of the Octagon Friday night with an uneventful unanimous decision win over Jay Hieron. The win avenged a loss he had to Hieron six years ago, which must feel great for the Nebraska native.
So the question is, what’s next for Jake Ellenberger?
Ellenberger was considered one of the top contenders going into his last fight with Martin Kampmann. He was defeated by the durable Dane and had to go back to the drawing board.
In Hieron, he defeated a teammate of Kampmann, which may not ease the pain of the Kampmann loss, but may give him some reassurance.
Ellenberger is still a top guy at 170 pounds.
One loss doesn’t immediately take you out of the mix, nor does a boring win.
Beating Hieron was a big deal. He is a very scrappy veteran that is completely underrated. He is a guy that arguably beat Ben Askren during his time in Bellator.
A lot of welterweights are currently tied up at the moment. A guy like Josh Koscheck definitely presents an interesting matchup as both guys are great wrestlers with powerful hands.
If that is not a fight people want to see, a fight with Nick Diaz when he returns would be awesome. Both men are good strikers with different types of ground games.
Diaz is a jiu-jitsu guy with amazing submissions. Ellenberger is a power wrestler with powerful ground and pound.
Diaz is a volume boxer and Ellenberger is a power boxer. That is an interesting pairing right there as well.
That would be the best option in my opinion. That is, if Diaz comes out of his “retirement.”

It wasn’t the most exciting flyweight fight your going to see, but we have ourselves a No. 1 contender in the 125-lb. division.
John Dodson earned himself a second-round knockout against Jussier da Silva in a very slow developing fight. Once he found his range, he clipped da Silva several times before finishing him with strikes on the ground.
What we’ll remember from this fight
The ending of the fight is what we will remember. The rest of the fight was nothing to write home about, but Dodson surely gave us a nice knockout to make up for it.
What we learned about Dodson
John Dodson and his good all-around game. He showed great takedown defense and power, especially for a 125-pounder. He is a definite threat to Demetrious Johnson, especially because he has just as much speed, if not more, than Johnson.
What we learned about da Silva
Fighting strikers that can defend his takedowns are going to be a problem for da Silva. His striking looks green, even though his grappling is second-to-none to anyone at flyweight.
What’s next for Dodson
Demetrious Johnson. Plain and simple.
What’s next for da Silva
Jussier da Silva needs to go back to the drawing board. I would give him the loser of John Lineker and Yasuhiro Urushitani at UFC on Fuel 6 in China.

It is being reported by mmajunkie.com that Jeremy Stephens was arrested in Minneapolis this morning, and his fight with Yves Edwards may now happen now.
As being reported by MMAjunkie:
According to a Minneapolis Police Department representative, Stephens was arrested at the Marriott City Center Hotel, which is this week’s UFC host hotel, and arrived at the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility at 10:44 a.m. CT local time. It’s currently unknown when Stephens is scheduled to be released from the facility.
Obviously, it is weird why Stephens was detained is unknown. There is no way it could have been from drinking or partying, seeing as it is fight day and almost 11 in the morning.
If this fight is scrapped, it would be the second fight in 24 hours to be cancelled. Yesterday, a bout between Dennis Hallman and Thiago Tavares was cancelled before the weigh-ins.
After scrapping of the Hallman-Tavares battle, Hallman was released from his UFC contract. If this fight is called off, it would not be surprising if Stephens was released as well, as this would be embarrassing to the UFC.
That would be a shame. Stephens is an exciting fighter with a good fan following. He is rarely in boring fights and has earned his fair share of fight night bonuses.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this situation.
Update 1: It appears that Jeremy Stephens is being held without bail on a felony charge from another state. Seeing as Stephens is from Iowa, it could be from there, as that is where he lived before moving to San Diego.
Update 2: According to Dana White via Twitter, the fight will still be on.
Update 3: I just looked at UFC.com and the fight between Edwards and Stephens has been taken down. This could be a sign that this fight is officially scrapped, despite Dana White’s assurance on Twitter.
Update 4: I checked UFC.com again, and the fight is back up. I am utterly confused. I just assume Dana White is right and this fight will occur.
