UFC 83: Serra vs St-Pierre 2 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The UFC has scheduled the event for April 19, 2008, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. UFC 83 will be the UFC's first event in Canada.[1] The event on this date was originally scheduled to be called UFC 84,[2] but following the cancellation of a tentatively scheduled March 8, 2008 event in England,[3] the event's title was changed to UFC 83 instead.
It will be headlined by UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Serra and UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre[4]. Several prominent Canadian fighters are set to fight, including Kalib Starnes, Mark Bocek, Jason MacDonald, Sam Stout, and Jonathan Goulet. Patrick Côté[5] was originally projected to be on the card against an as-yet-unapproved opponent, but a slip-and-fall injury removed him from the slate.
