I'll summarize for those who don't know French:

- Lorenzo Fertita & Marc Ratner met with Richard Renault (RACJ head of combat sports) and Denis Racicot (RACJ president) Tuesday evening before flying to Europe later that night.

- The event will take place as scheduled under the usual UFC rules except for foot stomps being disallowed.

- RACJ will hold a press conference (no details specified) explaining the decision.

That’s a truly bizarre restriction. They got talked into allowing knees and elbows to the face, but refused to give way when it comes to fighters stepping on each other’s feet? Way to stand your ground Montreal…you just got Fertita’d
