CARLOS ‘THE RONIN’ NEWTON and NABIL ‘THE THRILL’ KHATIB
The day of reckoning is rapidly approaching as Warrior One MMA will be LIVE at the
Robert Guertin Arena on March 28th for W1: INCEPTION.
The highly anticipated main event between MMA legend CARLOS ‘THE RONIN’ NEWTON and NABIL ‘THE THRILL’ KHATIB continues to generate buzz throughout the MMA world. This fight was recently listed on Sherdog.com (the most popular MMA site in the world) as one of March’s top ten fights to watch; in the world!!
In addition to this historic main event, MARK ‘BOOTS’ HOLST will now put aside the past two months of opponent changes and will once again be scheduled to face his original opponent; striker MARTIN ‘THE HAMMER’ GRANDMONT in a lightweight slugfest.
“This is the fight we’ve wanted since day one,” said W1 Matchmaker Alex Caporicci. “Both these men are spectacular fighters who love to bang. There seems to be a genuine dislike between the camps and for year they’ve both heard arguments about who is the better striker. Finally they’ll get the opportunity to put an end to the debate.”
Due to an injury to his original opponent, former CFL and WWE superstar GLENN ‘THE KULKSTER’ KULKA will now be facing Amherst, NS native JOSH STRICKLAND. Kulka continues to train extremely hard to quickly dispatch of his opponent but Strickland looks to humble the Kulkster in front of his fans.
“Glenn continues to show how he is one of the best all-around athletes the country has ever produced,” said W1 Matchmaker Alex Caporicci. “For him to play junior hockey, be a CFL star, a pro wrestler and now a MMA fighter is incredible. There is not one thing that Glenn has set out to do and has not accomplished. Now he’s set his sights on MMA and I’m excited to see what his future in the sport will bring.”
