Canadian light heavyweight Nick Campbell discusses the current MMA scene in Canada and the UFC's dedication to Canadian MMA.
UFC president Dana White once said Canada was the mecca of mixed martial arts.
That's no longer the case.
Canadian MMA took a major hit when former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre announced a sudden hiatus in late 2013. St-Pierre has been on the sidelines since, and despite recent return rumors, he will likely never step inside the Octagon again. The amount and star-power of Canadian UFC events decreased ever since St-Pierre's departure, with flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and other non-Canadians headlining most recent cards.
