Canadian boxing champion Arturo Gatti has been found dead in Brazil in mysterious circumstances. Gatti will be remembered as one of Canada’s greatest boxers and his three fights with Micky Ward will long be remembered.

Canadian sports betters love a good fight and there will be nothing better than the huge clash between BJ Penn and Diego Sanchez.

Canadians who love all things MMA will be salivating over the BJ Penn v Diego Sanchez matchup. The UFC lightweight division has seen some great contenders like Joe Stevenson, Kenny Florian and Clay Guido come and go, but there is little doubt that Penn and Sanchez are the two with the most talent. They both also have a unique style and either could produce one of the all time classics as long as Penn doesn’t find a submission early.

The UFC has integrated the sport of mixed martial arts well and truly into the mainstream. Canadian Georges St. Pierre will star in one of 11 fights from the sold out spectacular UFC 100 from Las Vegas this weekend. 888sport will have competitive markets on all the fights on the card.

Mixed Martial Arts is the biggest boom sport in the world at the moment and Canadians just can’t get enough. You might lap up the ‘ground and pound’ from the wrestling experts or you might prefer the stand up guys that love to ‘swing for the rails’ whatever your fancy this sport has it all.
