Date: April 19, 2008
Location: Montreal, QC, Canada
Venue: Bell Centre
Broadcast: PPV (10pm ET)

The UFC 83 event, which will be the first UFC event ever held in Canada. The main event on that card is George “Rush” St Pierre who is from Montreal Canada, and will have the home town crowd and his country behind him and he will square off with Matt “the terror” Serra from Long Island New York.

 

Serra shocked the world with his TKO of St. Pierre just three minutes and 25 seconds into the first round. The victory is widely considered to be the biggest upset in UFC history.

Serra will be returning to the UFC in his first fight since injuring his back a few months ago. This injury resulted in the cancellation of the proposed Hughes/Serra fight. Serra currently has a record of 9-4-0, with four of his victories coming via submission. Serra's last fight was nearly a year ago - Sports Bettors are wondering if he will be able
to shake off the Cobb Webbs and defeat one of the toughest fighters in the UFC. Serra will also be looking to protect his legacy in this fight. Was his victory against St. Pierre a fluke, or is Serra really that good?

St. Pierre, a native of Montreal, will be fighting in front of his hometown under the UFC banner for the first time in his career. Georges St. Pierre is regarded by many to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC right now. He is scary good and just seems to improve with every fight. He recently took apart Matt Hughes at UFC 79 - Nemesis and will be looking to avenge his UFC 69 loss
to Matt Serra.
