Dustin Pague (11-7 MMA, 1-3 UFC) very well could be cut from the UFC if he loses his fight to Yves Jabouin (18-8 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at UFC 161. Since his time on “The Ultimate Fighter 14,” he’s gone 1-3 inside the octagon. But the bantamweight veteran believes he’s got the type of matchup that will help him turn things around, even if the crowd at MTS Centre in Winnipeg might not be on the same page. Jabouin, after all, is a Canadian (by way of Haiti), and it’s a fair bet he’ll get the cheers. “But I have two fans on Twitter that are rooting for me, so I’m pumped about that,” Pague told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “Two Canadians. They said they’re going outside the box and rooting for me. Two Canadians out of 15,000.” Jabouin and Pague open the Facebook-streamed preliminary card of the event, which takes place Saturday, prior to FX-televised prelims and the pay-per-view main card
