Press Release – Wreck MMA is proud to announce additional details for Wreck MMA: Unstoppable on May 6th, 2011 at the Casino Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec. Presented by The Score, the event will be headlined by two of Canada’s top bantamweights who do battle for the Wreck Bantamweight Title. John ‘The Haggis Basher’ Fraser steps up to face Saskatoon’s undefeated prospect Eric Wilson. Fraser is on a four fight win streak and in his last fight he defeated the talented veteran Thierry Quenneville for a featherweight title. Wilson is coming off a win against rising star Roland Delorme that cemented him as one of the nation’s top bantamweights. A win against Fraser would put away any doubts whether Wilson is the real deal and firmly establish himself among the elite.

In the co-main event, Team Bushido’s Nabil ‘The Thrill’ Khatib returns to Wreck as he faces one of the bad boys of MMA, Markhaille ‘Showtime’ Wedderburn. Khatib’s last fight in Wreck ended controversially and Khatib is looking to leave no doubt with this one. Both fighters have shown a great deal of heart and expect this one to be a real test of will with the victor being the one who refuses to break. A win here by Khatib can put him in like for a title fight at the first ever event in Ottawa in September.

In the second title bout of the night, Jesse ‘The Ghost’ Gross returns to Wreck to face veteran Brad Cardinal for the Wreck Lightweight Title. This fight is Gross’ toughest challenge to date and will show where Gross stands among Canada’s top prospects. Cardinal has been around long enough to not be affected by the hype surrounding Gross and wants to leave Ottawa with some shiny new gold.

Wreck MMA is pleased to announce the addition of UFC Veteran Gideon Ray to the event in a featured bout of the evening. Ray has faced a who’s who of MMA veterans like David Loiseau, Mike Swick, John Alessio and Jason Macdonald. His opponent on this night is K1-Heros, Shooto and ZST veteran Sergej Juskevic. Making his Canadian debut, Juskevic (who lives in Toronto) is a former Lithuanian kickboxing champion with a solid ground game. After winning six of his last seven fights, Juskevic could potentially be the next breakout Canadian star.

Craig ‘Farmer’ Brown will step into the Wreck cage against the veteran Dan Chambers and Lindsey Hawkes will face Nathan ‘Gunner’ Gunn in a potential fight of the night candidate. Also scheduled to appear are OAMA standouts Jeff Harrison, Christopher St-Jean and Randy Turner alongside talented Ottawa based fighters. On the card are Tapout Gatineau’s Pablo Santos, RAMA’s Marc Lefebvre and Cedric Grenon, BTT Canada prospect and former member of the Canadian national judo team, Scott Edward.

Wreck MMA: Unstoppable is proud to be supporting the Ryan Williams Fund. The Ryan Williams Fund helps raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) to purchase new equipment. Wreck Promoter Nick Castiglia will also be returning to the MMA cage on this event and will be donating his purse to the Ryan Williams Fund. Tickets for this event are available via Ticketmaster.ca or by calling (613) 755-1111. Buy your tickets now as there are only 1500 seats available and this event will once again sell out!!

UFC middleweight Jason “The Athlete” MacDonald makes his return to the octagon after breaking his leg at UFC 113 last May. The Canadian faces Ryan Jensen at UFC 129 in a week in Toronto.

MacDonald feels that a matchup with Jensen works in his favor as his opponent has shown he is more susceptible to submissions. He feels that some of the negative criticism when fights go to the mat, is due to boring fighters who just want to lay on top and grind out a win.

Long time National Hockey League enforcer, Donald Brashear, appears will look to try his hand at mixed martial arts after an eighteen year pro-hockey career.

MMADieHards.com broke the exclusive on Friday, noting that Brashear had signed a one fight contract with the Canadian-based Ringside promotion, and now joins the likes of former NFL players like Herschel Walker, Matt Mitrione, and Brendan Schaub among others who have transitioned into mixed martial arts.

The website reports that Brashear could have the option of fighting as many as three times and could compete as soon as June 4 in Quebec City, Quebec at Ringside 11. Currently he has not applied to the Provincial commission for a license, and may have problems due to a pending assault charge following a Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH) game, where Brashear allegedly assaulted a player from another team at the end of a game on March 25.

Brashear, who is 39 years old, played his last NHL game with the New York Rangers in 2010 and was acquired by the Atlanta Thrashers before being played on waivers. Over his career he spent time playing with the Montreal Canadians, the Vancouver Canucks, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Washington Capitals, and lastly the New York Rangers.
