"Matt Serra and Georges St. Pierre will meet for the UFC welterweight title during an April event in Montreal, Serra confirmed to NBCSports.com on Friday.... The Long Island native told NBCSports.com's John Moody that his back has been rapidly improving and is excited about defending the championship, albeit in St. Pierre's hometown."
We first reported on this booking here, which will be the first-ever UFC show to be held in Canada. It's widely believed that the pay-per-view (PPV) event will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2008, at the Bell Center in Montreal and could include locals -- in addition to "Rush" -- such as Patrick Cote, Jason MacDonald, Sam Stout, Jonathan Goulet, Jeff Joslin and more.
