Due to some unforseen circumstances, the main event for Friday August 20th's Wreck MMA: Bad Intentions has been changed. Wreck MMA and FitShop.ca are excited to announce that Markhaile 'Showtime' Wedderburn will be making his Wreck debut against the talented striker from Drummondville, Martin 'The Hammer' Grandmont.
Showtime is known as one of the most controversial welterweights in
Canada, but his talent and willingness to face the country's best cannot
to be forgotten. An excellent stand-up fighter who has shown flashes of
brilliance on the ground, Showtime is coming back to Gatineau to
entertain the 
fans.
Grandmont is one of the best strikers in Canada and put those skills on
display on many occasions throughout his MMA career. In his last trip
to Gatineau, Grandmont KOed Ottawa's own and UFC veteran, Mark
'Boots' Holst in dramatic fashion. Holst moved past the loss
and into the UFC but Grandmont believes he deserves an opportunity in
the biggest show in the world and is coming back to the place of his
biggest victory to prove it. These two fighters are known for their
exciting fights and a war is promised on August 20th.
In the
co-main event of the evening, OAMA’s Stephane Bernadel
once again fights in front of his home fans against one of the top
prospects in eastern Canada, Jon ‘Judo’ Williams.
Bernadel is one of the top strikers in the featherweight division and
Williams is a talented grappler under Dana Dickeson and a member of BTT
Canada. A classic striker vs. grappler battle, this fight will not make
it to the judges as one of the two will ultimately impose their will.
In
the tradition of supporting local causes, Wreck MMA will be supporting
the Ottawa Food Bank at Wreck MMA: Bad Intentions. Many
of the local martial arts gyms in Ottawa/Gatineau (including NX
Martial Arts, 100% Martial Arts, Ottawa
Japan Karate, N-1 Thai Boxing, and OAMA)
will be collecting non-perishable food items and the gym that collects
the most will be announced at the event. Also, the Ottawa Food Bank will
be collecting other non-perishable food items at the event as well.
