TKO Major League MMA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TKO Major League MMA is a Canadian mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, the biggest MMA promotion in Canada. Despite its name, it is considered a minor circuit, overshadowed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which it has a close working relationship with. TKO is currently the only promotion other than the UFC itself which uses UFC's trademarked Octagon cage to stage bouts. (Previously, it used a boxing-style ring). The TKO president is Stéphane Patry, who also manages several fighters.
