Warrior One MMA is proud to announce that the inaugural “W1: Trials & MMA Camp” will occur on June 6th and June 7th at the Mixed Martial Arts Expo in Toronto. The Mixed Martial Arts Expo is located at: Toronto International Centre, 6900 Airport Road, Hall 5, Mississauga, L4V 1E8.

The “W1: Trials & MMA Camp” will consist of a two day training camp for all fighters interested in stepping up and becoming W1 fighters and/or for athletes who are looking for an intensive training regimen with some of the world’s best trainers. (It is not required that you apply to be a potential W1 fighter to participate in the training session and it is perfectly acceptable if you decide to simply train with some of MMA’s greatest instructors. As a bonus, some trainers will be available for private sessions on Saturday and Sunday.)

On Saturday June 6th, all participants will be split into groups according to their respective weights and experience. Each group will spend the entire day training with various world class trainers. W1 is proud to announce that former UFC Champion Carlos “The Ronin” Newton, UFC Heavyweight Contender Cheick Kongo and Ultimate Fighter star and UFC Contender Matt “The Hammer” Hamil have been confirmed as the trainers for the “W1 Trials & MMA Camp”. At least one other top level trainer will be announced shortly.

Saturday’s sessions will also involve a “Becoming a Professional MMA Fighter” panel discussion led by Showdown Joe Ferraro, the host of MMA Connected on Sportnet. Showdown Joe and the rest of the panel (including some top MMA competitors and trainers) will discuss the sacrifices that must be made if you are truly interested in a successful MMA career. The panel will also discuss proper training methods, diet and all other aspects involved with MMA.

Sunday’s sessions will be an official audition for each participant who is interested in becoming a W1 competitor. This will involve some light sparring, ground work and interviews. MMA as a competitive sport is still illegal in Ontario therefore sparring is limited to the same intensity as you would find in the typical martial arts training facility. Individuals who push the guidelines will be released from the program.

Fighters who impress during the “W1: Trials & MMA Camp” could potentially be offered multi-fight contracts by Warrior One MMA with at least two participants being offered the chance to fight in an upcoming W1 MMA event.

During the entire training camp, participants will be evaluated by their respective trainers as well as a team of evaluators including the W1 Matchmaker Alex Caporicci, “Showdown” Joe Ferraro, the host of MMA Connected on Sportnet and some soon to be announced special guests. Also present will be some of the largest companies involved with MMA who may look at the competitors as potential sponsored athletes.

After an extremely successful inaugural event, W1 MMA will be back in Gatineau for its second event, W1: UNPLUGGED on June 13th, 2009. Due to upgrades being made at the Robert Guertin Arena, W1 has decided to move this event to the intimate BARIBEAU ARENA. This VIP-only event will only have limited tickets available for purchase and will definitely sell out.

In the main event of the evening, CRAIG ‘FARMER’ BROWN will look to become the first champion in W1 history as he takes on UFC, Strikeforce and Bodog veteran BILL ‘THE BUTCHER’ MAHOOD for the W1 Light Heavyweight Title. Brown is coming off a submission victory against Dean Martins at W1: INCEPTION and is looking to win the title against the experienced Mahood; who is coming off a victory against Marcus Hicks.

In the co-main event, MARK ‘BOOTS’ HOLST will be looking to get back to his winning ways when he faces a Canadian legend JASON ‘SUMO SAMURAI’ ST. LOUIS. Since his last fight, Holst has been chomping at the bit to get back into the cage and is looking to show his entire MMA pedigree against the experienced St. Louis. St. Louis is extremely familiar to fans in the region as his win over UFC Veteran David ‘The Crow’ Loiseau and epic wars with Steve Vigneault made St. Louis a Canadian legend.

In a young guns bout, MUSTAFA ‘MUFASA’ KHALIL is coming off an impressive 56 second victory at W1: INCEPTION and he will face another future superstar in TOM ‘The Bomb’ WATERS; who also won his fight in impressive fashion. Both fighters are considered the future of Canada’s featherweight division and the winner is expected to face MIKE ‘HURRICANE’ HONG at Warrior-1’s next event in October.

Also scheduled to appear are JEFF HARRISON, JOHN FRASER, STEPHANE BERNADEL, TOMMY PARISEAU, CHRISTOPHER BOISVERT, ERIC GIRARD and many other young stars. Limited tickets will be available shortly through TICKETMASTER.

*/ W1: TRIALS – EXPECTED JANUARY 31ST *
More details will follow in the near future, but a quick
message to let you know that W1 MMA will be holding their
first MMA Trials on January 31st in Ottawa, Ontario. W1 is
on the lookout for new talent and this will give the
opportunity to fighters to see where they are at.

W1 MMA is pleased to announce changes to W1: INCEPTION in Gatineau, Quebec on March 28th, 2009.

MARK ‘BOOTS’ HOLST, from the Ottawa Academy of Martial
Arts will now be facing 2-Time UFC Veteran LUKE ‘LIL HULK’
CAUDILLO. Caudillo is the toughest challenge in Holst’s young
career, but Holst was quick to accept the offer of the American
star. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Holst is taking a
huge step up in competition but believes he is ready for this
test. Could this be the unveiling of a new Canadian superstar?
A trip inside the W1 cage will answer that question.

One of Ottawa’s most popular athletes, CRAIG ‘FARMER’
BROWN will be facing AARON BASSO from London, Ontario.
This fight is expected to be an all out brawl, as both fighters
are known to come out swinging. Not to be outdone by his
teammate Mark Holst, REMI MORVAN will be facing SEAN
QUINN from Regina, Saskatchewan. These two warriors are
considered among the country’s top up and coming
bantamweights and a win should put them in line for a W1
Bantamweight Title shot at the next W1 event.

W1: INCEPTION is headlined by the first Canadian UFC
Champion CARLOS ‘THE RONIN’ NEWTON facing one of the
country’s top welterweights, Ottawa’s own NABIL ‘THE
THRILL’ KHATIB. With the country’s best athletes, non-stop
action and unmatched excitement, W1: INCEPTION is a can’tmiss
event for all MMA fans and thrill seekers in the capital
region. Tickets are on sale right now at TICKETMASTER.ca or by

The day of reckoning is rapidly approaching as Warrior One MMA will be LIVE at the Robert Guertin Arena on March 28th for W1: INCEPTION. The highly anticipated main event between MMA legend CARLOS ‘THE RONIN’ NEWTON and NABIL ‘THE THRILL’ KHATIB continues to generate buzz throughout the MMA world. This fight was recently listed on Sherdog.com (the most popular MMA site in the world) as one of March’s top ten fights to watch; in the world!!

In addition to this historic main event, MARK ‘BOOTS’ HOLST will now put aside the past two months of opponent changes and will once again be scheduled to face his original opponent; striker MARTIN ‘THE HAMMER’ GRANDMONT in a lightweight slugfest.

“This is the fight we’ve wanted since day one,” said W1 Matchmaker Alex Caporicci. “Both these men are spectacular fighters who love to bang. There seems to be a genuine dislike between the camps and for year they’ve both heard arguments about who is the better striker. Finally they’ll get the opportunity to put an end to the debate.”

Due to an injury to his original opponent, former CFL and WWE superstar GLENN ‘THE KULKSTER’ KULKA will now be facing Amherst, NS native JOSH STRICKLAND. Kulka continues to train extremely hard to quickly dispatch of his opponent but Strickland looks to humble the Kulkster in front of his fans.

“Glenn continues to show how he is one of the best all-around athletes the country has ever produced,” said W1 Matchmaker Alex Caporicci. “For him to play junior hockey, be a CFL star, a pro wrestler and now a MMA fighter is incredible. There is not one thing that Glenn has set out to do and has not accomplished. Now he’s set his sights on MMA and I’m excited to see what his future in the sport will bring.”
