10 fun non-title fights for the UFC to consider putting together in 2025
With the final two cards of 2024 on the horizon, an eventful year for the UFC is winding down and it allows us to look to what lies ahead and speculate about fun matchups to begin getting amped up for 2025.
Sometimes the stars just align.
Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield scored his 13th goal of the season Wednesday night and the goal carries some extra special meaning.
Caufield scored the goal in Columbus against the Blue Jackets, the same team his idol Johnny Gaudreau played for.
Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed this summer when they were struck by an alleged drunk driver while riding their bikes near their hometown.
Caufield switched his jersey from No. 22 to No. 13 in honour of Gaudreau following the news of his death.
“He paved the way for smaller players and proved we had a future in this game at the highest level,” Caufield wrote on Instagram in announcing the switch. “I will forever be grateful to him for inspiring me and others.”
For that reason, it’s fitting that Caufield’s 13th goal came beneath the No. 13 banner that now hangs in the rafters of Nationwide Arena.
