\"\"The Ultimate Fighting Championship<\/strong> (UFC) will return to Canada later this year and will host UFC 2016 for the very first time in Edmonton. The company just concluded its UFC 212 card in Brazil and is preparing for a major UFC 213 that will take place in Las Vegas during the fight week in July. UFC 215 will take place on September 9 and will be held at the Rogers Place.<\/p>\n

The organization has always gone with a strategy of using as many home fighters as possible in order to boost attendance rates and create publicity for the fights. The UFC is yet to announce a main event for UFC 215 but has confirmed a few of the other fights. One of those fights will involve young and exciting Canadian Gavin Tucker<\/a> who made an impressive UFC debut and will take on Rick Glenn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The UFC was in Canada earlier this year when UFC Fight Night 105 was held in Halifax. The UFC has so far hosted 23 events in Canada and will most likely continue to expand its presence in Canada thanks to the growing UFC fan base and the number of exciting fighters coming out of Canada.<\/p>\n
