| 9 | Anonymous | UFC became one of the most popular sports ever..the amount of audience increased greatly for this widely entertaining sport. |
| 10 | Ron C. Schinners | bring it dam it!!! |
| 11 | Justin Kirkness | vancouver would be a major UFC city, tons of support |
| 12 | Andrew Lang | If the only problem the city of Vancouver has with MMA is the violence, then the city should ban the Canucks, as well as the Lions, because those sports are equally as violent. MMA has proven to be less violent in terms of injuries then boxing. Why does it always come to this? Vancouver is one of the greatest cities in the world, but yet they city council and others involved with the city always find a way to kill any fun. The list is long, and I needn't bother get into it. It's time the city of Vancouver move forward into terms of acceptance and bring the UFC to Vancouver, rather then wait till other cities set the precedent. |
| 13 | Sam Mannion | Being English I can't see why there's loads of events in the UK and they're hasn't been any in Canada. It's pretty crazy considering you're a lot closer! So I'm feeeling for the good people of Vancouver |

| 21 | Trev | Unfortunately the city of Vancouver feels that having the UFC in Vancouver would taint the city's reputation in lieu of the Olympics. I'd rather go see UFC (at least I'll be able to AFFORD it). And I'm sure its possible that a near majority of others feel the same! Let's get it on! |

| 23 | Anonymous | UFC and MMA alike, has evolved so much since it first materialized decades ago.
Along with the evolution came many rules that ensure a greater amount of safety for each fighter. I believe it's a controlled sport, much more than flying sticks and the violence that is accepted on the ice during hockey fights. I dont believe that mma portrays a bad message. I believe it's healthy in terms of allo fthe hard work that a fighter goes through in preparing for fights. That's something people can admire and it's a healthy thing for younger people to follow, hard work and pushing yourself every day. Also, all of the support that comes from friends, family and the team/gym you are training out of creates a good environment for everyone. It's a sport that i believe is going to continue to grow regardless of any bann's in BC. One that i think everyone should support. |
| 24 | Adam Reddy | mma should be allowed in all provinces. These fighters are just as much athletes as hockey, basketball, football players and so on. |

| 27 | Anonymous | please please PLEASE bring the UFC to Vancouver!! I'm moving there in the fall and would love to go to one live!!!! |
| 28 | Justin Bruce | YES! Bring it !! |
| 29 | Aaron Jarman | Vancouver is a world class city in many area's, yet Vancouver City Council's decision to not allow competition in their jurisdiction is a foolish decision. If the goal is to drive it away, you'll only be driving vancouverite talent elsewhere to train, and make vancouver definitely not world class with respect to MMA. By refusing to sanction these events, you drive them underground, where there are less safety precautions, for fighters and fans alike. Less medical attention, less regulation on figher's health prior to a fight, and as we saw in North Vancouver with Tim Thurston, less security checks to prevent Vancouver's prevalent gun violence from making an impact on the sport.
Please, allow this sport in legitimate arenas, with proper safety checks and balances to guarantee the saftey of everyone involved. Don't give Vancouver this black eye when this sport is just coming into focus. International Stars hailing from Vancouver are virtual unknowns here, greats like Dennis Kang and Michael Mcdonald, up and comers like Kalib Starnes. Vancouver is a great city, and could (should) be viewed as a hotspot for mma befitting it's rank as one of the great multicultural cities on the planet. |

| 31 | Brent McIsaac | Time to move out of the stone age Vancouver! Montreal has opened the door for major MMA events in Canada and with MMA's popularity in B.C. Vancouver would be next on the map for the UFC if you would open your eyes and see it for what it is. |

| 40 | Gregory Sun | Please bring the UFC to Vancouver, the sport is growing so rapidly, and is now safe with the new rules. It's not the blood sport that it use to be.
This is one of the best sports in world, please do your part and bring this sport to Vancouver for the fans, where it belongs. |
| 41 | kevin king | |
| 42 | Dennis Pittendreigh | |
| 43 | Marc Chenier | Those in charge of sanctioning need to be educated more about the sport. There are plenty of NCAA atheletes and former Olympians already and those numbers are only going to get higher as these atheletes now have an avenue to continue their sport and make a good living at it.
EDUCATE THESE DUMB FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
