Not sure who the promoter of the event but if anyone knows the name of the promoter could they please post it? Thanks!!!
Hey Brad, it’s Sandy Bowman. If you are looking for spots on the card or any info you can hit me up on Facebook. I’m helping with matchmaking and promoting.
All the best bro! Jake
You’ve got mail Jake!
Top MMA News takes 20% of all purses as a service charge for fights booked via our comment section. Just kidding…only 10%. :)
hey brad , im promoting it . i thought you knew haha
how about we just put you up here keith and give you a good seat , and we call it even
Rumors are circulating that the fight is not sanctioned … please clear up the discrepancy!
yeah, sanctioning body?
love the card!
Yeah unfortunately the card will change for the worse if it is not sanctioned
Card is being sanctioned.
Story on the promotion here:

Keith the card is sanctioned by the city of Fort McMurray? Because sanctioning by the private organization is not good enough.
Pete. Not sure who is behind the sanctioning body.
Pete, I am hearing different stories from everyone so I left a message for Mayor Melissa Blake to see if the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is overseeing this sanctioning body. I do know that there is no mention of the Fort McMurray Mixed Martial Arts Association in their meeting minutes and I have looked through all of them since March of 2010.
If you have further info, please contact me via http://topmmanews.com/contact-us/ page and I will get back to you.
Expect changes to the card as the event is not sanctioned
Yeah Pete I don’t think the Fighters Dont know anything about an event being sanctioned. Maybe you could give them an education on it because this event is not sanctioned at all.
Here is an update on the sanctioning that we posted a few days ago:

When you bring the word liability to the city it will change alot of things with this event. I’m sure the Mayor will do her own dodilagence on this. Who is this Fort Mcmurray mixed martial arts assocation iv talked to alot of people and it is news to them. It’s sounds Like someone is trying to put on an illegal event in Fort Mcmurray and opened a company and name it FMMMAA to try and make it sound legit that’s not how it works.Hopefully it’s not city property that’s this event is being held at.” Liability” all your insurance goes out the window when it is not properly scantioned. Everybody can be sued, the city, the promotors the fighters, etc.
I hope this card is still happeneing. Fort Mac was a pretty good fight town a while back.
The fort mac comission has been around since 1995. They are doing fights the same way red deer does legal fights. Bottom line! Period.
Prestige FC will go on as planned, Sept 19th. As M.R. stated in the above post, Fort McMurray will handle this the same way in which Red Deer does. Fight card to be released soon.
Matt, how do you figure Fort Mac has had a comission for 15 years. The city has never had an mma or boxing event? Also I hear that the president of the FMMMAA is also the promoter for this show, that sounds fishy.
Red Deer is not done the same way…
Red Deer is a legal Commission struck by the City itself, it is the “CITY of RED DEER COMMISSION” and approved by the municipality.
However. what the City of Red Deer did was appoint experienced people from outside the city (Members from River Cree), instead of using inexperienced people from within the City.
But it is still a City of Red Deer Commission.
Bringing people from other Commissions to run/help a Commission in itself DOES NOT make it legal.
Keith:
Zach is still in this one and Aggression MMA 5?
This Prestige card will have significant changes. I am waiting for an updated lineup.
I figure it has for 15 yrs cause it actually HAS. Just because u didn’t know about doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Ok Matt, I have been a resident of Fort McMurray for 25 years and have never heard of it. Everyone time someone tried to bring MMA to Fort Mac it wasnt allowed due sanctioning issues. Clearly you have your facts wrong.
You will be shut down when something is illegal it’s illegal that’s the bottom line. I think this promoter will be band from any involment with combat sports after this is all said and done. Iv been reading alot of things with the Boxing commission and wow FMMMMA has got alot of bulls… Put it out on the table so everyone can see. It will be shut down the liability factors are just to much for the City to let it go on..
But the City of Fort Mcmurray is not gonna make a commission for this event. And the municipality is not going to agree to this. Again theres to much Lilability for the city to let’s this go on.

Its obvious some of you guys dont love MMA for being so negative and opposing this show. Prestige FC is trying to help the sport grow and bring MMA to the great city of Fort Mac. Some of you should be embrassed, especially Mike King.
I don’t think it’s a no-love for mma thing, or even an issue of opposing the show.
I am all for MMA in Fort Mac, those fans deserve it and there are some good fighters up there too!
The thing is, we are all trying to help the sport grow legitimatly. I just don’t want to see fighters and promoters get into hot water over hosting an unsanctioned event.
Best of luck to all involved in trying to make this show happen, hopefully everything works out!
UPDATED: Added Mike Ciesnolevicz. I am not sure who is all on this card. Cardinal off.
This card is gonna be siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!
awesome fights last night…standing knockouts,41 second submition,local boys, and one hell of a boot to the head…job well done ,ill go again!!!
One of the best shows i’ve been to! What a great event that was!
Prestige Fc may have been a long time coming as fans were hungry for MMA in their hometown. But the inaugrual event was nothing resembling a first time show..Sandy Bowman and Chad Rice put a lot of time and effort into this event and it showed. The fights were exciting with everything from submissions to TKOs. Wins by hometown boys made the crowds go wild..Pat Miletich and Dwayne Lewis(MFC SUPERSTAR) were working corners as well for guest appearances. The cage was well lit and fans had great views of the fights. The fans got what they came for….a great show….look out Fort McMurray…Prestige FC is here to stay…
i would like to have a prestige fc dvd who can help with one………………………..
Following the trend here, I am also concerned about Sanctioned events. I cannot find a department in Fort Mc government council that sanctioned this event. I was a member of NS Boxing Authority for many years. This is not the way we ran our events.Is anybody interested in getting proper santioning into this great sport.
Snooks or Tooks?
Seems to me you had your kick at the commission thing Candy and it didn’t end all that well for you.
