Thanks man! OC is huge in MMA in Canada. specifically the HA, St. Pierre used to be managed by Stephane Patry, whose brother was HA during the Biker War. At that time there was no debate which province had the best MMA/Bikers, it was Quebec.

Unless you were in on St. Pierre it is pretty much a broke mans game, not like boxing in America. There is/was a link involving MMA/Bikers in Hamilton that is now emerging with maybe Cudmore being linked via Street gangs to the Hamilton HA, and the murder of Musitano/Barberi.

"He (Cudmore) was a founding member of a street gang known as the North End Crew (NEC), or at least was an early member. As the NEC grew, it became a training ground for larger enterprises, including the Hamilton chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. When the local Hells Angels chapter expanded, several of its new members were recruited from the NEC. The ties between the two groups were so strong that evidence at a 2011 Hamilton licensing hearing for a bar in which cocaine had been sold described the NEC as “an extension of the Hells Angels. Despite the connection, Cudmore never became a Hells Angel; maybe because he had such a hard time staying out of jail."

There was a fight club on Barton and Green (Iron Tiger https://houseofchampionsmma.com/), the head guy in now a cut man in the UFC) in which full patch HA would hang out, in the same plaza where the Monello (Musitano) Social Club is located, also where Giorgio Baressi trained (Iron Tiger), as well as other clubs (Joslins Red Devil/HA Puppet https://joslinsmma.com/) all in Hamilton.

Knowing how to fight and being in a criminal business is a asset and typically valued in those who are looking to recruit talent into their business operation, etc.

The HA in Hamilton are tied into all of the MMA clubs in that City, many cops also train in those places. Now it seems like all the mobsters have been killed in Hamilton or put in prison. There is a brother combo of Cop/Biker from the Parkdale area of Hamilton, Chris Poole (OPP Cop), Vince Poole HA, he was arrested last summer of guns and coke https://www.chch.com/guns-cash-and-1m-worth-of-cocaine-seized-by-hamilton-police/. Seems to be back on the street no problem! lol. This is their family's Motorcycle Shop in the East End of Hamilton https://poolescycle.ca/

I was told that a Super Club that was supposed to be built in the East End of Hamilton in 2014, as part of a pipe line of premium blow from Mexico, as part of Rizzuto making a deal with NY, prior to returning to Canada, to get the details he needed to get Vendetta. The Super Club was a huge failure, but the premium blow connection, became a bit of a sticking force, to the point where it was a major catalyst to the violence in, around, and related to Hamilton, as well as everything else considered business.
