UFC 83 will emanate from the Bell Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on April 19, 2008. The UFC has officially set the final card for the event, which has sold the most tickets for any UFC show in history. Here’s the full card:
- Undisputed Welterweight Championship: Matt Serra v. Georges St. Pierre (Interim Welterweight Champion)
- Middleweight Bout: Rich Franklin v. Travis Lutter
- Middleweight Bout: Michael Bisping v. Charles McCarthy
- Middleweight Bout: Nate Quarry v. Kalib Starnes
- Lightweight Bout: Marc Bocek v. Mac Danzig
- Middleweight Bout: Joe Doerksen Vs. Jason MacDonald (May not be broadcast on PPV)
- Middleweight Bout: Jason Day Vs. Alan Belcher (May not be broadcast on PPV)
- Lightweight Bout: Rich Clementi Vs. Sam Stout (May not be broadcast on PPV)
- Welterweight Bout: Kuniyoshi Hironaka Vs. Jonathan Goulet (May not be broadcast on PPV)
As you can see, this card is pretty heavy on the middleweights. It’s also heavy on Canadian fighters, which makes sense considering it’s the UFC’s first foray into the Montreal market. The Canadian fighters will be WAY over with the crowd, and Matt Serra will be public enemy number one when he faces of against the Québécois (French for “Quebecer”, duh) St. Pierre. I’ll go out on a limb and say this could be the most raucous crowd in the history of the UFC.

Another solid UFC card, I’m a little disappointed that Jason MacDonald isn’t on the PPV card. I fully expect GSP to beat Serra.
