jasonmcomestow1.jpgDue to an unfortunate injury to Denis Kang, Jason MacDonald will be stepping in to take his place against Vernon ” Tiger” White.

Jason “The Athlete” MacDonald is one of Canada’s top MMA talents who is noted for his excellent submission ability.  With just two weeks until W-1 Bad Blood, MacDonald steps in for Kang on short notice.  The former UFCer was in negotiations to join W-1 and seized the opportunity to appear in Bad Blood in Kang’s place.

Although Kang will be unable to compete against Vernon White, he hopes to make his first W-1 appearance in the very near future.

With the signing of Jason MacDonald, W-1 continues to solidify its position as the top MMA promotion in Canada.

Antonio_Carvelho.jpgWarrior One MMA (W-1) has signed Antonio Carvalho to an exclusive multi-fight contract.

Carvalho will be making his comeback at W-1 Bad Blood on March 20th in Montreal following a devastating shoulder injury.

The native of Toronto is a world class fighter who holds a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and is one of the few fighters in the world to beat the legendary Hatsu Hioki.

An experienced mixed martial artist, Carvalho has fought in Shooto, TKO and MFC.  With the recent signings of Denis Kang, Vernon White and Chris Clements, and a highly competitive 145 lbs weight division, W-1 was an obvious choice for Carvalho to make his way back to the top.
