MFC 24 “HeatXC,” Feb. 26 -- Enoch, Canada
The Canadian fight scene is gaining more and more international relevance, particularly with the UFC now promoting north of the U.S. border. One promising Canadian light heavyweight prospect is former 230-pounder Nick Penner out of Blumenort, Manitoba. The 29-year-old kickboxer has lost just once in his professional career and will take on two-time UFC veteran Chris Price on the main card of Maximum Fighting Championships 24. The fight, which will be streamed live on www.maximumfighting.com, promises to be a standup war.
Jason Day vs. Jesse Taylor
Aggression MMA 2, Feb. 5 -- Edmonton, Canada
Two UFC veterans will headline the bill at AMMA’s sophomore show. The well-rounded Day climbed high on the MMA ladder when he co-headlined UFC 85 against Michael Bisping, but he was ultimately released from the promotion following two straight losses. His opponent on Friday, Taylor, looked like a solid prospect on the seventh season of the “Ultimate Fighter,” but his immature behavior ruined his chances of winning the competition. Both men are in desperate need of a win after subpar performances as of late.
