‘Canadian Gangster’ Olivier Aubin-Mercier vows to defend home turf against Alexander Hernandez at UFC on FOX 30

CALGARY, Alberta — Canadian lightweight Olivier Aubin-Mercier has only lost once fighting on home soil and never against an opponent from outside his country.

He doesn’t see that changing this Saturday when he takes on Alexander Hernandez in the main card opener of UFC on FOX 30 here at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Making this home court defense even more important is the fact that Hernandez has vowed to win over the Canadian fans after already infiltrating the country during a recent trip to Vancouver where he was working with EA Sports on the UFC 3 video game.
