(PRESS RELEASE) -- After an extremely successful show on December 12th, Wreck MMA is proud to officially announce our next event; Wreck MMA: Unite for Brian’s Fight will take place on Friday April 16th, 2010 at the Robert Guertin Arena in Gatineau.

As Wreck continues our policy of adding a charitable aspect to all our events, Wreck MMA will return to the Robert Guertin Arena to help a member of the Ottawa community. Brian Dyck was diagnosed Lou Gehrig's Disease in October 2009. Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS ultimately leads to death. Brian has not only served his country in the Canadian forces but is currently an Ottawa police officer. His life has been devoted to helping others including his wife Natalie and their one year old daughter Sophi. It is no secret, Brian will leave us - and his family will need our help!

Wreck MMA will donate up to $50,000 to Brian and his family, but we cannot do this without your help! We are calling for the members of the MMA community and the Ottawa/Gatineau region to all come together to help a family that needs us. Let’s all unite; for Brian’s fight.

As the card takes shape Wreck will continue to update our fans on the fight card. One fight that Wreck MMA is pleased to announce is a battle between two of the top lightweights in Canada as BTT’s Samuel Guillet makes his much anticipated return to MMA as he takes on Ottawa’s own Mark ‘Boots’ Holst. Also on the card is two of the top up and coming welterweights as Louis-Philippe ‘The Joker’ Carle faces his biggest challenge to date as he takes on Simon 'The Mutant' Marini. Tickets will be available on Saturday January 16th on Ticketmaster.ca or by calling (613) 755-1111!!
