Eighteen months ago, UFC welterweight
champion Georges St-Pierre
seemed nearly invincible, and his
home nation of Canada was widely
regarded as the planet's most MMA-crazed
nation.
Since then, St-Pierre's reconstructed
knee has left many questioning
if "Rush" can stay atop the
UFC's 170-pound division.
Additionally, the
emergence of Brazil as a prime UFC
market has raised questions about
Canada's prominence in the sport.
