"We’re coming (to Ontario) next year. I’m very confident we’re going to be there next year. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be. We’ve put on two successful events in Montreal.

But other than a boring main event, I don’t think there’s anything up in Montreal that they saw that would keep us out of Ontario."
UFC President Dana White reveals his continued plan of securing a show in Ontario, Canada, at some point in 2010. White has expressed a desire in the past to hold a UFC event in Toronto at the Rogers Centre in front of as many as 50,000 fans. Considering that one of the world's most popular fighters is a Canadian named Georges St. Pierre, that may not be such an unrealistic goal. He will however have to wait until mixed martial arts is legalized by the Ontario Athletic Commission because the sport is currently banned in that part of the country...for now.
