This is a good event that will attract lots of $$$ and just reaches out to another audience to highlight Vancouver.
Also you'd be surprised how many MMA schools, gyms and clinics operate in Vancouver and the lower mainland.

With you on all that. George St. Pierre is probably in the top three most popular Canadian athletes. UFC reaches way beyond the neanderthals of society.
