Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC) and The Fight Club (TFC) veteran “The Real Deal” Ryan Ford (15-3) has officially signed with Bellator Fighting Championships. The Canadian-born welterweight made his name under the MFC banner as well as fellow Canadian promotion The Fight Club where he currently holds the 170lbs. championship title.

Ford is mostly remembered for his war with fellow welterweight scrapper and The Ultimate Fighter alum “The Secret Weapon” Pete Spratt (21-19) as well as his aggressive go-for-broke style. With 14 finishes and one decision in his four-year career it’s easy to see why “The Real Deal” is adored in his home land of Canada. Along with making his Bellator debut, his new flagship promotion will bring Ford stateside for the first time, as he has yet to fight outside of the Great White North. Continue reading »

One of Canada’s top MMA promotions, The Fight Club (TFC), brings its fans in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada TFC 12: Devastation on Friday, December 10. The Shaw Conference Centre plays host to a promising card featuring ten bouts, including two TFC title fights featuring a handful of Canadian MMA superstars like former TFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC) veteran “The Matrix” Victor Valimaki (16-6) taking on Karl Knothe (16-5) for title contention. Top contenders “Farmer” Craig Brown (7-3) and Chase Dagenhardt (4-1) were originallly scheduled to fight for the title but due to an injury to Dagenhardt and Brown’s upcoming January fight at Wreck MMA against “Dooms” Jason Day(16-10), the fight has been scrapped. The new main event scheduled to be a five round fight for the TFC’s vacant middleweight belt is now between “Chainsaw” Chad Cox (5-2) taking on Nick Hinchliffe (17-6). A battle between welterweights Sheldon Westcott (4-0) and Cleburn Walker (9-5) and a women’s MMA bout between Sy Jewett (2-0) and Anna Barone (1-2) help shore up the card alongside appearances from Jordan McKay (3-1) and undefeated Rio Wells (3-0).
