The UFC announced on Monday the entire card for their first Canadian event. UFC 83 takes place on April 19 and contains a slew of Canadian born fighters. This card will also serve to unify the UFC welterweight championship. Matt Serra will defend his UFC welterweight title against interim welterweight champion , and Canadian national, Georges “Rush” St. Pierre.
Serra defeated St. Pierre with a quick knockout to capture the welterweight title at UFC 69 – Shootout. Serra injured his back and was sidelined for a few months, thus creating the need for an interim welterweight champion. The titles will be unified at UFC 83.
Here is the final card. Note that Patrick “The Predator” Cote’s opponent has not yet been named.
- Matt Serra vs. Georges St. Pierre
– Rich Franklin vs. Travis Lutter
