UFC President Dana White was in Toronto this week for the UFC 140 press conference, and stopped by Toronto radio station The Fan 590 to talk about the UFC's return to the city this December and his thoughts on the city as the premiere location for MMA in the world. Here's what he had to say about Canada's place in MMA (transcribed by SportsRadioInterviews):
"Canada as whole, and I've said it for years, is the mecca for Mixed Martial Arts, but Toronto is off the charts man. It's so cool here. I love coming here, I love the people, I love the city, and when you think about Las Vegas, Las Vegas has been the fight capitol of the world for years but when it comes to the UFC, Toronto is it baby."
