The popularity of the UFC in Canada peaked when Georges St-Pierre was tearing up the competition in the welterweight division during his reign in the late 2000s and early 2010s. St-Pierre is in fourth place in the top five UFC champions with most title defences, with nine, making him one of the best Canadian UFC fighters of all time.

Even after his retirement, he’s among the most recognized and well-respected athletes today. The MMA odds of finding another Canadian UFC superstar are slim, but fans in the Great White North can still watch and support other fighters in the promotion. But how can they watch the UFC in Canada, especially for epic events like UFC 300?
