How UFC 206 Went From Lackluster To Blockbuster

As well as the masses of hype surrounding UFC 205 in New York, the recent months have seen an opposing focus on UFC 206. Returning to Canada for the third time this year, UFC 206 will mark the first pay-per-view event held in the North since UFC 174 in 2014. That event, headlined by Demetrious

As well as the masses of hype surrounding UFC 205 in New York, the recent months have seen an opposing focus on UFC 206. Returning to Canada for the third time this year, UFC 206 will mark the first pay-per-view event held in the North since UFC 174 in 2014.

That event, headlined by Demetrious Johnson vs. Ali Bagautinov, ranks among the lowest-drawing PPV cards of all-time. The December 10 card is also the first time the promotion has returned to Toronto since 2013 with UFC 165. Fuelling the negative attention from fans was both the poor nature of the last PPV in Canada, and one former welterweight champion named Georges St-Pierre.

Rumours began spreading earlier this year that ‘GSP’ would be coming back to the UFC. With UFC 206 just around the corner, it looked like the stars would align nicely. Having been out of the game since vacating the belt after UFC 167, St-Pierre’s octagon return has been highly anticipated. Suddenly ‘Rush’ announced he was a free agent following failed contract negotiations, the promotion denied his exit and claimed he was still under contract. This well publicised rift caused some sects of Canadian fans to join forces and start a boycott on UFC 206.

Although St-Pierre is no longer coming back at UFC 206, a number of great fights have been added since that news. Here’s a breakdown of some of the best fights going down at UFC 206:

Cub Swanson-Dooho Choi

Cub Swanson vs. Doo Ho Choi

Featherweight contender Cub Swanson takes on surging ‘Korean Superboy’ Doo Ho Choi on the main card. ‘Beautiful Destruction’ has some wildly unique striking, and Choi is rapidly becoming known for his heavy hands, and is currently on a 14-fight streak. Watch out for this one.

Carlos-Condit[1]

Carlos Condit vs. Demian Maia

Former interim welterweight champion and WEC boss Carlos Condit will look to bounce back from a very narrow split decision loss to Robbie Lawler at UFC 195. Now ‘Ruthless’ has been dethroned by Tyron Woodley, the division is once again shifting, but hoping to capitalize will be Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace Demian Maia.

Maia submitted Matt Brown at UFC 198 to make it five straight wins, and his August 27 date with ‘The Natural Born Killer’ has a lot on the line. This one has all the makings of a great fight, so tune in to watch UFC on FOX 21 and see who emerges as the next title contender at 170 pounds.
