Dana White Believes UFC 97 Will Happen in Montreal
 Amidst a firestorm of controversy surrounding the Quebec Athletic Commissions change in philosophy over enforcing its own rules that govern mixed martial arts, UFC president Dana White spoke with CKAC Sports 730AM in Montreal about the possibility that UFC 97, scheduled for Montreal in April, could wind up not happening in the city.
He insisted that they are trying to work things out with the athletic commission there, believing that his promotion would have a projected $12 million impact on Montreal.
White said that one of the UFC's owners, Lorenzo Fertitta, is headed to Canada later this week to meet with officials in an attempt to iron out the situation.
"I don't think it's something that we can't work out... and get this thing fixed so that we can continuously come to Montreal to hold events," he told the show's host. "I can't see (UFC 97) not coming there."

Jonathan Goulet Out With Ruptured Tendon In Knee
 While expectations were high for Canadian, Jonathan "The Road Warrior" Goulet, to return to the next UFC show in Montreal, he will have to sit things out this time with a ruptured tendon in his knee according to his manager, Ken Pavia.
Rumors had placed Goulet in a match-up against fellow welterweight, Tamdan McCrory, but the injury will keep him out of action for an extended period of time.
"He really wanted to fight in front of his home fans so badly that he couldn't get it out of his mouth that he was physically unable to," said Pavia who explained that Goulet actually avoided phone calls for 2 days trying to find a way to make the fight happen.
According to his manager, Goulet's knee will not require surgery, but he will have to undergo extensive rehabilitation to get back to fight shape.
At UFC 83, the promotion's first trip to Montreal, Goulet won a "Fight of the Night" bonus for his performance against Kuniyoshi Hironaka.
There is no set time table for Goulet to return following this injury.Labels: Jonathan Goulet, Montreal, Tamdan McCrory, UFC
