Looks like a good card. Would be cool to see Ford go on a tear here in 2014.

Co-Main event set for World Series of Fighting Canada event with an exceptional Welterweight matchup between Ryan Dickson (6-1) vs Michael Hill (6-2).

Friday February 21st will mark the promotions first event in the countries biggest MMA market Edmonton, Alberta. Playing host to this stacked card, which features arguably the deepest Canadian MMA event in history, will be the Edmonton Expo Centre. Headlined by Edmonton’s own Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford (21-4) taking on top contender Hamilton Ontario’s Joel Powell (7-3).

Joining the top billing of the card will be Ontario Welterweight s
tandout Ryan Dickson (6-1) as he goes up against WSOF 7 winner Kelowna BC’s Michael “The Messenger” Hill (6-2).
“These are 2 of the top Welterweights in Canada.” Say’s WSOF matchmaker Darren Owen. “Dickson is one of the top Canadian prospects, he’s amassed a very impressive 6-1 record and has a 100% finish rate. His submission game is very impressive and he has the ability to finish fights at any time. With Hill, you have a tough guy with an amazing heart and very dangerous striking. He was just victorious over Richard Arsenault (9-3) at WSOF 7. It’s always a pleasure to watch Hill fight, he brings it every time, pushes the pace and looks to finish. He will step up and take on anyone and that’s the type of guy we love working with. This is an intriguing fight, will Hill get the big knockout or will Dickson get the submission?”

In other action, #3 ranked Canadian featherweight Josh Machan (11-4) will be facing off against Adam Lorenz (7-3).  Machan was set to debut at WSOF 7 until an injury forced him off the card. He has won 11 out of his last 12 fights with all of them being finishes and 10 by way of submission. Lorenz has been eager to get back into action.  He has the talent to beat Canada’s best, as he has shown in the past with wins over WEC and Strikeforce vet Rolando Perez (7-3) and 3 time Bellator veteran Will Romero (9-4).

Additionally added to the main card will be Mark Drummond (5-1) versus Brandt Dewsbery (10-2). Drummomd is on a 5 fight winning streak and has the potential to make a run in the Welterweight division. Dewsbery’s impressive record has only 2 blemishes respectively, to Ryan Dickson and Joel Powell and both of those fighters Dewsbery can watch in the Main and Co-Main events after his fight. In a combined 18 fights both men have only gone to a decision once so expect an action packed fight in this one.


Filling out the main card will be Will “Leon” Romero (9-4) versus Lenny “The Show Steeler” Wheeler (6-3) in Featherweight action. Romero holds a win over current UFC fighter Mitch Gagnon (10-2) and has won 3 out of his last 4 fights. Many fans have been eagerly waiting for Wheeler to fight in Canada again after submitting top ranked Adam Lorenz (7-3) in only 33 seconds. In his 9 professional fights Wheeler has had 7 of them finish within the first 3 minutes. The winner of this fight will take a jump up in the rankings.

A Hard Hitting Heavyweight fight between 5 time UFC veteran Edmonton’s Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague (15-8) will trade bombs with Lee “The Gladiator” Mein (6-12). Always entertaining Owen Carr (4-2-1) will be going up against Maged Hammo (5-3) and Roger Alves (1-1) the standout wrestler will be making his long anticipated return to action against Jemark Brady (2-2). While kickboxing sensation Hakeem Dawodu (0-0) will make his MMA debut against Behrang Yousefi (5-3) and Trent “Slaughter” House (2-1) takes on Dustin Greentree (1-1). To start off the night both making their pro debuts will be Justin Evans (0-0) versus Stuart Fonataine (0-0).

The World Series of Fighting Canada is bringing an exceptional MMA event to Edmonton with an outstanding fight card and top tier production in what will be a World Class event for arguably the best MMA fans in the world.

Hope they at least get a stream for this if not NBC

Also announced on the show will be former wrestling standout Steve Mocco (4-0) facing Smealinho Rama (6-1), a Maximum Fighting Championships regular out of Calgary, Alberta.

Mocco, 32, who represented the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in freestyle wrestling, was one of the country's best heavyweight wrestlers of the past 15 years. He won junior national titles in both wrestling and judo, NCAA Division I titles in 2003 and 2005, and captured both the Junior Hodge Trophy (best high school wrestler in the nation in any weight) in 2001 and the Hodge Trophy (best collegiate wrestler regardless of weight) in 2005. Wrestling at Oklahoma State, he once won 85 matches in a row. He had five wins in wrestling over UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, who at the time was also one of the country's top collegiate wrestlers, wrestling at Arizona State.
Other main card matches announced were Michael Hill (6-2) vs. Ryan Dickson (6-1) in a welterweight battle, Josh Machan (11-4) vs. Adam Lorenz (7-3) in a featherweight match, and Brandt Dewsberry (10-3-1) vs. Mark Drummond (5-1) in a welterweight match.

Mocco vs rama wow

This first WSOF Canada show isn't going to air until a week later on February 28th, 2014 on NBC Sports according to MMAFighting.com! WTF? Who wants to watch a week old show? It will also be up against the tenth season premiere of Bellator 110 on Spike TV and the debut of Titan Fighting Championship on CBS Sports. Crazy! I wonder if it will be broadcast in Canada live on the 21st on another channel with a stream?
