  • Typical of Canada fights, they always bring in tailor made fighters to go against their best in hopes of giving them a championship run.

  • Ahhh, but they don’t! Mbilli has faced some tough ones not premier fighters. Adonis Stevenson faced a lot of fighters during his days. You could probably say that about Bute. Lemieux faced a lot of fighters too. Although beterbiev is Russian, he calls Canada home, he has fought everyone. You could say the above have all had success too. I know I’m missing some must be the fumes from sitting on the toilet as I write this.
