UFC 129 Fight Card Preview: Power Ranking the Event's Canadian Fighters

Bleacher Report's Matthew Saccaro:

On Saturday, April 30th, UFC 129?the largest UFC and most important event in the relatively short history of Canadian MMA?will occur.

The UFC, as they always do when they travel abroad, have made sure that the fight card is stacked with nationals of the locale that they are visiting. UFC 129 is no different; Canadian fighters make up a significant portion of the event.

There are 12 fights on the UFC 129 fight card. Of those 12, only two fights (Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida and Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Jason Brilz) do not have a Canadian fighter in them.

To put it into more mathematical terms, over 80% of the fights contain a Canadian fighter!

Some of these Canadians, such as current UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, are well known figures in the sport while others are lesser known and are fighting solely for recognition.

Regardless of their status, all of these fighters have a ranking relative to one another. Who are these fighters and what ranking does each fighter have? Read and find out.
