W1 MMA: Mark Holst To Face 2-Time UFC Veteran At INCEPTION

Courtesy of Warrior-1 MMA:

W1 MMA is pleased to announce changes to W1: INCEPTION in Gatineau, Quebec on March 28th, 2009.

MARK ‘BOOTS’ HOLST, from the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts will now be facing 2-Time UFC Veteran LUKE ‘LIL HULK’ CAUDILLO. Caudillo is the toughest challenge in Holst’s young career, but Holst was quick to accept the offer of the American star. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Holst is taking a huge step up in competition but believes he is ready for this test. Could this be the unveiling of a new Canadian superstar? A trip inside the W1 cage will answer that question.

One of Ottawa’s most popular athletes, CRAIG ‘FARMER’ BROWN will be facing AARON BASSO from London, Ontario. This fight is expected to be an all out brawl as both fighters are known to come out swinging. Not to be outdone by his teammate Mark Holst, REMI MORVAN will be facing SEAN QUINN from Regina, Saskatchewan. These two warriors are considered among the country’s top up and coming bantamweights and a win should put them in line for a W1 Bantamweight Title shot at the next W1 event.

W1: INCEPTION is headlined by the first Canadian UFC Champion CARLOS ‘THE RONIN’ NEWTON facing one of the country’s top welterweights, Ottawa’s own NABIL ‘THE THRILL’ KHATIB. With the country’s best athletes, non-stop action and unmatched excitement, W1: INCEPTION is a can’t-miss event for all MMA fans and thrill seekers in the capital region.
