UFC on FOX 21 takes place in Vancouver, Canada which means that
Canadian fighters carry a little more value than they normally would if
they were fighting their opponent’s elsewhere in the world. Home
advantage is big in Canada because Canadian fighters win around 67% of
the time when they fight on home soil.
There are several reasons why Canadian fighters perform better when
they fight in Canada. These reasons include fighters feeling more
comfortable when they fight closer to home because they are competing
under familiar circumstances. It also helps that they do not have to
adjust to new climates or timezones. Canadian fighters also perform
better when they fight in Canada because they can get a boost in
confidence from the support of the home town fans. Judges are also often
influenced by the fans in the arena who get behind Canadian fighters.
In a close fight, the Canadian judges will almost always score a fight
in favour of the home country guy.
The Canadian fighters competing at UFC on FOX 21 are Chad Laprise,
Jeremy Kennedy, Alex Ricci, Enrique Barzola, Shane Campbell, Adam Hunter
and Ryan Janes.
