TORONTO, Ont. WCP MMA Inc. announced Tuesday on Fight Network that itsnewly minted Substance Cage Combat (SCC) promotion will be holding itsinaugural mixed martial arts event at the George Bell Centre in Toronto on June29.

Substance Cage Combat 1.0 will feature several of the province!

s top stars,including Adrian Wooley, Randy Turner, Alex Ricci, and Elias Theodoreau, whowill help end the nearly seven-month drought Ontario MMA fans have gonethrough since the final Score Fighting Series card in November.

According to SCC president Neil Forester, a longtime Toronto concert and eventpromoter and co-owner of Grant ! s MMA Gym, the promotion ! s primary focus is to

help fighters in Ontario and Canada by providing them with another stage toperform on.

I recognized a major void in Ontario of opportunities for our local pool of talentedfighters to fight at home. Score Fighting Series was the last legitimate local

organization helping to promote and develop Ontario MMA fighters, and I just feltlike the sport needed someone to come in and fill that void, Forester explainedTuesday. This isn ! t about making money for our group; it ! s about helpingto further develop the sport in Ontario and providing a stage for our local fightersto gain fight experience and get more exposure.

Forester says he called in favors with his friends in the Ontario MMA and eventpromotion game and they all responded to the request with great enthusiasm.The support group he assembled is as strong as any promotion in Canada andreads like a who ! s who of Ontario MMA players, including former boxing promoterand Wild Wing founder Rick Smicklas who will help co-promote SCCevents, UFC welterweight and SCC matchmaker Sean Pierson, K-1 talent scoutand SCC fighter liaison/event coordinator Alin Halmagean, Fight Networkanalysts Robin Black and John Ramdeen and veteran MMA journalist and PRrep Mike Russell. He also brought in Fight Network as his broadcast partner. Thechannel will broadcast the event in its entirety later in June.

In addition to owning my own MMA gym with Ryan Grant, in my other corebusiness I produce hundreds of events a year across Canada. For this endeavor

I brought together a group of friends and business associates that I met throughboth businesses who share the same love and passion for the sport I do and whoalso have top-notch experience and expertise in their selected fields. This is byfar not a one-man show. I have a team of people who all excel at their specificareas. We have a great MMA publicist, a great duo of matchmakers who are wellversed and experienced in the sport, I have sponsorship co-coordinators, riskassessment managers, on-site coordinators, a world class production companyhandling the production, an artistic director for all of the design and marketingright down to the street team, says Forester. There is a team of 10-plus peoplewho are helping put this thing together to help build something for the sport andthey all have pretty much volunteered their time and skills to make this series areality.

If the inaugural event goes as expected, Forester says the group plans to run upto two more events in the Greater Toronto Area this year. In the meantime, hisfocus is on bringing Ontario MMA back with a bang on June 29.

As we all know Ontario and specifically the GTA has long been referred to as the" Mecca ! of MMA. Although the sport is fairly young in this province, we havemany world-class athletes who have been training here for years, Foresterpoints out. This card will feature some of the sport ! s top stars, who all just

happen to be local standouts like Adrian Wooley and Alex Ricci, undefeated upand coming stars like Todd Stoute, Abdullah Teymouri and some really great newfaces to the sport like Ahmed Akkar and many others. This card is going tofeature some great local fighters with world-class abilities and I think fans aregoing to love what we have in store for them June 29.
