21/04/10 - UFC wolfpack grows: three more Wolfslair fighters signed
The UFC has signed three fighters from the Wolfslair, Fighters Only has learned. The signings bolster the gym's UFC fighter roster to six as the line up alongisde Michael Bisping, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and Cheick Kongo.
Light-heavyweight Tom Blackledge, welterweight Kurt Warburton and heavyweight Rob Broughton all have four-fight deals in place and will make their debuts for the UFC later this year.
Blackledge has already appeared on The Ultimate Fighter, being one of the season ten coaches on Team Rampage. A jiu jitsu black belt, Blackledge also has some ferocious stand-up and produced one of the KO’s of the year when he stopped Enoc Torres in M-1 last year.
Broughton recently won a heavyweight tournament in the UK and lays claim to being the country’s top fighter at that weight. He recently signed with the Wolfslair and is the former heavyweight champion of UK promotion Cage Rage, now defunct.
Warburton has fought UFC welterweight Ross Pearson three times between his semi-pro and professional career. The record stands at 1-1-1 and a fourth match could well be on the cards in the UFC to produce a definitive winner of the series.
