“What a stacked card ‘AMMA 9’ has turned out to be,” stated
Aggression MMA Co-Owner Moin Mirza. “With the talent we’ve been able
to bring in for this event, I would feel comfortable putting this
card up against just about any other event here in Canada.”
Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford (16-4) is one of the top MMA stars in
Canada. Ford was upset by David Hulett in his last bout, but before
that defeat, he had won four straight fights, as well as eight of
his last nine, finishing all his victims on either punches or
submissions. In 2011 alone, he conquered Johnny Davis, former UFC
welterweight contender Karo Parisyan, and fellow top Canadian Nick
Hinchliffe in succession. Now looking to rebound from the Hulett
loss, “The Real Deal” is motivated with a burning desire to show the
fight world he truly is the next elite Canadian fighter.
Ford faces no easy task in his return bout, as he will step in the
cage with rising star Tyson “The Man of” Steele (8-1). Also rumored
to be on the radar of the UFC, Steele is one of the most exciting
Canadian competitors on the circuit. Having never been to a
decision, Steele has submitted seven of his eight victims, and
knocked out the other one. A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the
6-foot tall Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist is ready to add “The Real
Deal” to his list of victims and make a huge splash in the process.
“This is a huge opportunity for me, and I am grateful to Aggression
for making it happen,” says “The Man of” Steele. “I want to make it
to the UFC, and this could be the fight that puts me one step closer
to the call that every fighter dreams of. I know what I have to do
to get there, and that’s take on the best and beat the best.
Unfortunately for Ryan Ford, he’s put himself right in my path, and
I’ve got to go through him.”
Edmonton, Alberta native and local favorite Victor “The Matrix”
Valimaki (16-8), a former holder of the TFC Light Heavyweight
Championship, will look to right the ship as he collides with
another rising Canadian star in Tim Chemelli (8-1). A former UFC
fighter, “The Matrix” is going through a rough streak in his career,
but is determined to get back in the win column at the expense of
his young foe. Valimaki holds victories over MMA legend Dan “The
Beast” Severn, and UFC veterans Vernon “Tiger” White and Jason
“Dooms” Day. Chemelli, a member of Team Sparta and a native of
Alberta, has finished all eight of his opponents in his victories,
but is coming off his first career loss. The defeat came at
Aggression: “Unfinished Business” last year against Nick Penner. Now
this finishing machine will look to come back strong and grab
victory against a UFC vet in Valimaki.
Also competing on the card will be tough Canadians Stephan Beaumont,
who is undefeated at 4-0, and strong Muay Thai fighter Markhaile
“Showtime” Wedderburn will put their skill sets on display once
again for the Aggression fans.
