Warrior One (W-1) is a Canadian based, mixed martial arts (MMA) organization located in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Founded in 2008 by successful entrepreneur and MMA specialist Jack Bateman, W-1 features experienced MMA athletes as well as up and coming talent. Jack's goal was to bring world class mixed martial arts events to Canadian soil while promoting the fastest growing sport in the world (MMA).

Warrior One is unique to any other MMA promotion in Canada in that it was founded by a former mixed martial artist. This unique perspective has led to W-1's "fighters first" philosophy. With this in mind, W-1 fighters are the epitome of professional athletes; training and performing at a level unparalleled to other Canadian organizations. This concept is what W-1 believes will distinguish its fighters on a national level and create opportunities globally.

W-1 aims to be a compliment to leagues such as the U.F.C., Strikeforce and Dream; funnelling Canadian talent to the ranks of professional MMA stardom and success.

W-1 has a strong reputation and continues to grow in popularity in both Canada and the United States. Having built a strong base, W-1 is rising to the top, taking its production to the next level in 2010.

Fighter's First

Without our athletes, W-1 is just a name; it is our athletes who give us our identity.

Fans are created not only in their love of an organization but for their love of the athletes who compete for it. These athletes inspire, motivate and excite fans beyond the simple brand of the organization. Every sporting event in the world is driven by passion; most often this passion is for the athletes who bring the organization success.

W-1's Fighters' First philosophy means:

• Putting the safety of our fighters as our foremost priority
• Treating our fighters with the respect and care they deserve
• Paying attention to the needs of our fighters to adequately prepare for and participate in our events
• Preparing and promoting our fighters to take the next step in their MMA careers
