Mark Hominick, a nine-year MMA veteran who will be fighting for his first major title in less than two weeks when he meets Jose Aldo at UFC 129, is finally cashing in.
And fittingly enough for the Ontario-born Hominick, a Canadian organization is backing him for the biggest fight of his career.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League announced on Wednesday that they had “entered a partnership” with the native of Thamesford, Ontario. In other words, the Ticats will be one of Hominick’s sponsors for his UFC featherweight title fight.
