BTC 28: Battle at the Border will go down in history as another pivotal moment for Ontario MMA, continuing the momentum of sanctioned amateur competition in the province. For years, Ontario fighters had to travel elsewhere to gain amateur experience, but with events like this, a new era has begun - one where athletes can develop their skills at home. BTC 28 will play a key role in cultivating the next generation of Canadian talent by providing a clear pathway from amateur to professional MMA. This long-overdue shift is strengthening the regional fight scene, creating more opportunities for young athletes, and elevating Ontario's overall competition level. BTC 28 isn’t just another fight night; it’s the next step in the evolution of Canadian MMA.

HUDSON ADAIR vs. MICHAEL WILLIAM ADAMS

Two of Ontario’s brightest up-and-comers are set to clash as Hudson Adair takes on Michael William Adams in a high-stakes showdown at BTC 28!

Fighting out of Sarnia’s own GhostHouse MMA, Hudson Adair has already proven he’s a name to watch. With two solid wins under his belt, Adair enters 2025 with momentum, confidence, and the hometown crowd behind him. Calm under pressure and laser-focused, he’s eyeing win number three and a big leap up the amateur ranks.

But across the cage stands a dangerous threat—London’s Michael William Adams. Training out of the legendary Adrenaline Training Centre he is known for his heavy hands and fight-finishing ability. Adams isn’t coming to Sarnia to play it safe, he’s coming to make noise, shut down the hometown hype, and leave with another highlight-reel moment on his record.

Two rising stars. One spotlight. Only one can leave victorious.

JUSTIN RITCHIE vs. LIAM NORTH

Lambton County’s Justin Ritchie is back and ready to make a statement in front of a hometown crowd. After a long-awaited return to the cage, the Lambton County native is eager to show that he’s still a force to be reckoned with. With experience, grit, and the energy of his supporters behind him, Ritchie is determined to remind everyone why he belongs at the top.

But standing across from him is a dangerous challenge in Liam North. Fighting out of London’s renowned Adrenaline Training Centre, North is a rising prospect with his sights set on a third victory inside the cage. Hungry to prove himself, he’s stepping into enemy territory with one goal—derail Ritchie’s comeback and add another big win to his record.

A seasoned veteran versus a hungry up-and-comer. A fight with everything on the line. Get ready for fireworks at BTC 28: Battle at the Border!

BRAYDEN TODD vs. CRAZY HORSE

London’s Brayden Todd is stepping into the spotlight at BTC 28, hungry for his first amateur MMA victory. Representing the battle-tested Adrenaline Training Centre team, Todd is sharp, motivated, and ready to prove that the hard work behind the scenes is about to pay off in the cage. With great wrestling, crisp striking and relentless determination, he’s aiming to make a statement in enemy territory.

But standing in his path is Crazy Horse—a knockout artist with serious power in his hands. Already holding one emphatic KO victory, Malakai isn’t interested in letting this one go to the judges. He’s coming to Sarnia with one mission: silence the London prospect and add another finish to his resume.

Two young warriors. One explosive matchup. Don’t blink when Todd and Crazy Horse throw down at BTC 28: Battle at the Border!

the countdown is on…
