In the Main Event, Graham Park (7-2) defends his Unified MMA Light-Heavyweight Championship for the first time against former title challenger Neil “The Real Deal” Berry (9-9). Park has finished his past four opponents in the first round; all of his victories are by stoppage. All of Berry’s wins have also been finishes. The winner of this bout will be the Unified MMA Champion and widely regarded as the best light-heavyweight contender in Canada.
In the Co-Main Event, Neal Anderson (10-3) battles Maged Hammo (9-5) for the vacant Unified MMA Featherweight Championship. Neal takes aim at his seventh straight victory; all of Hammo’s wins are by stoppage. The winner of this bout will make a strong case for themselves as the next Canadian featherweight to sign with the UFC.
Former champ KB “The Bengal” Bhullar (8-2) makes his highly anticipated return to the Unified MMA cage against former title challenger Anton Tokarchuk (4-4-1) in the light-heavyweight division. Bhullar is hungry to earn his way back to another shot at gold and another opportunity to represent Edmonton in the UFC’s Octagon. Both fighters are highly skilled strikers and eager to add another KO victory to their impressive records.
Fan-favourites Nick “The Savage” Hrabec (7-5) and Kolton “The Maniac” Menzak (7-5) meet in a must-see scrap in the super-lightweight division. Twelve of Hrabec’s and Menzak’s 14 combined wins have come by stoppage.
Also in the super-lightweight class, Andrew Mavridis (1-0) takes on the dangerous and durable Cole Campbell (3-3).

Former teammates Maria “Sweet Maria” Djukic (1-0) and Jackie MacLean (1-0) square off in the first women’s MMA match to ever grace a Unified MMA Main Card. This bout will go a long way in deciding who will be the next great Canadian female bantamweight contender.
