Whitecaps prepared for struggling Dynamo to put up a fight in MLS game
VANCOUVER — A few punches were thrown after a Vancouver Whitecaps practice this week.
The fracas wasn’t a sign of any simmering tensions on the team. It was a little fun before the Whitecaps travelled to Houston to face the Dynamo in a Major League Soccer match Saturday.
After the Whitecaps’ practice they were joined on the field by UFC fighters Carlos Condit, the No. 5-ranked welterweight, and Paige VanZant. The pair, who will participate in a UFC card in Vancouver on Aug. 27, demonstrated some punches and kicks.
Whitecaps’ defender Tim Parker was a happy participant and gathered some thoughts on how to handle Houston forward Will Bruin, who has scored four goals and assisted on two others this season.
