Full Fight Card Released For WMMA'S McCorkle Vs. Heden: Fighting For A Better World

WMMA Announces Impressive Lineup for Its Inaugural Event

LITTLE FALLS, NJ, 03/05/12 -- Worldwide Mixed Martial Arts, Inc. (WMMA) is proud to release their complete fight card for their inaugural charitable event benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) and the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2). The event will take place on March 31, 2012 at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, TX.

Last month, WMMA announced that they will be hosting the inaugural event and a portion of the gate will be donated to the WWP and AW2. WMMA believes mixed martial arts is bigger than the company, therefore it has chosen to honor and provide assistance to our service members by partnering with organizations that are experts in assisting our real warriors and their families.

"We take pride in our fights," stated William McFarlane, President of WMMA. "Our fans mean the world to us and our gratitude will be shown through the events that we produce; that means the most action-packed bouts and the very best of mixed martial arts. Most importantly, it means supporting our real heroes and true fighters, our military, our soldiers, our families. This event is for them."

Fans of WMMA will also be treated to an amazing undercard, which is set to be streamed live on WMMA's website, www.wmmasports.com. Broadcast plans for the main card will be announced very soon.
