HCF has signed Aleks Emelianenko AND Lil Nog in less than two weeks. Plus they got steal who Emelianenko is fighting. And they also just recently announced that Mauro Renallo will be joined by none other than Stephen Quadros as the two fight commentators! I've seent his show before and it's very well run there's a lot of good young talent and no with these big names coming in HCF is the biggest promotion in Canada. Perhaps even bigger than TKO.

TKO has taken a lot of hits lately with most of its old stars not even fighting for them anymore. Stout and Hominick are basically the only name fighters that comfort fight in TKO.
Yea its alot more exciting for me than TKO alter now. I desire to see the big names myself and TKO isn't providing it anymore. Still a good breeding ground though.

I evaluate there's plenty of MMA to go around comfort. If HCF comes to Montreal and starts running shows. I think TKO may be in trouble. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Pro Elite steps in and brings HCF into the fold. It would make a lot of sense seeing that they undergo a national television assure and now Rogerio and Aleks. Its all about the assets.
HFC and TKO should merge at this inform. It's either that or TKO ordain lose any steam it has left and HFC will get huge in Canada. It's already pretty good but now they undergo 2 big international names and two of the greatest commentators around. I'd dislike to see TKO go so a merger would be nice. And Pro Elite joining that would make a hell of a competitor for UFC. Competition is good for business namely for the fans.

HFC and TKO should merge at this point. It's either that or TKO will suffer any steam it has left and HFC ordain get huge in Canada. It's already pretty good but now they have 2 big international names and two of the greatest commentators around. I'd hate to see TKO go so a merger would be nice.

In no way shape or form will they be any kind of competition to the UFC. They're just another alternative to the UFC. It does benefit us yes. But most populate won't compassionate. Therefore no competition.
I saw one of their events that they hosted in Gatineau. Quebec measure year and they put on an awesome show! They had some good fighters like Jeff Curran. Wagney Fabianno and change surface had the IFL Toronto Dragons out there. Cross-promotions are good for the sport just look at the bring home the bacon that EliteXC is doing. I really hope to see more HCF out in the province of Quebec regardless of whether or not TKO. UGC. ECC and the smaller promotions join forces with them.
HCF is making some big moves and it is great for canadian fans. I desire TKO alot but I also like what HCF is doing and I cant wait to go to there show. Keep up the good work HCF.

HFC and TKO should integrate at this inform. It's either that or TKO ordain suffer any go it has left and HFC ordain get huge in Canada. It's already pretty good but now they have 2 big international names and two of the greatest commentators around. I'd hate to see TKO go so a merger would be nice.

No. TKO has a fanbase built up in Quebec that respects the brand. They also carry in a lot of Quebecois fighters who are very popular and marketable and then they've established the aggroup Tompkins guys as stars as they are the closest MMA choice for them. TKO has lost talent because they are no longer one of the biggest shows outside the UFC. If you look at how smaller shows work they generally bring in a couple of big names for the main events... As there are so many around right now that means TKO cards aren't as deep because those B aim fighters are getting more cash and higher billing elsewhere. populate misidentify TKO as being the main MMA organization in Canada: its business copy is set up for Quebec specifically Montreal and it's very popular there. People there know the TKO brand and know the fighters. HCF is not going to dress that nor are they likely to try to mess with that merchandise while there are other less developed ones. Also the strength of TKO is in its match-making. The measure TKO show featured no decisions and from what I hear a ton of great fights. This leaves people entertained regardless of whether they've heard of the fighters. HCF is completely shitting the bed on this because of one thing:Regardless of how well known Aleks and steal are that is a terrible matchup! I convey would you be excited to watch Chuck Liddel fight Ron Faircloth? No you'd rather see a competitive matchup. Besides. I heard Dan Bibish is fighting instead of Cabbage.. enough said.
