About Wolfslair MMA Academy
The Wolfslair MMA Academy is a fight team and training camp for mixed martial artists, and kickboxers headquartered in Widnes, United Kingdom. The school was founded by Liverpudlian MMA fan Lee Gwynn and currently is the training home for some of the top fighters in the UK such as The Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Bisping. The team made big news by signing former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson and UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo to training and managerial contracts back in 2008. With these signings, Wolfslair became noted as one of the training stables in MMA.
Since then three more fighters have been snapped up by the world’s premiere mixed martial arts promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, with Curt Warburton, Tom Blackledge and Rob Broughton all rewarded with four-fight deals.
