Diggin’ Deep on UFC Ottawa: Iaquinta vs. Cowboy - Prelims preview

Ah yes, Fight Night cards out of Canada. They’ve established a consistent level of quality for their cards. Not to be a hater on Canada, but the quality isn’t very good. No longer the hotbed of MMA it once was, it’s hard to piece together a top-to-bottom card of interesting fights that all feature Canadians. It isn’t just the retirement of Georges St-Pierre either.

Besides, he wouldn’t be on a Fight Night card. Rory MacDonald’s defection to Bellator is a big hit. The aging out of action fighters like Sam Stout and Patrick Cote over the years have hurt the depth more than many figured it would.
