Adrenaline MMA Training & Fitness is a mixed martial arts and combat sports training center based in London, Ontario, Canada.[5] The facility features professional Athletes who have competed in many promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Bellator, the WEC, the International Fight League, World Series Of Fighting and TKO Major League MMA[6] the largest promotion in Canada.[7]
History[edit]
The gym's predecessor Team Tompkins MMA System was founded in 2001 by MMA trainer Shawn Tompkins coach of the Los Angeles Anacondas of the International Fight League.[8] During his time as head coach he trained the future of Adrenaline's talent as well as being involved with Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts and the Tapout Training Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The gym saw great success during this time with Team Tompkins holding two belts in TKO/UCC at Lightweight and Featherweight, with a combined total of 11 title defenses between Mark Hominick(7) and Sam Stout(4). During this period Chris Horodecki made it to the finals of the IFL World Grand Prix to challenge for the IFL Lightweight title.[9] "The Coach" corned Mark Hominick in the gyms first UFC title challenge against Jose Aldo at UFC 129 on April 30, 2011, for the inaugural UFC Featherweight Championship. Tompkins tragically passed away on August 14, 2011.[10] He remains as a influential figure and an inspiration to members of the gym.[11][12][13][14] From December 6, 2011, onward members of the gym were consistently involved in a Toronto based Anti-bullying campaign.[15]
Adrenaline MMA Training & Fitness[edit]
The gym in its current form emerged in 2012[16], founded by three of Tompkins star pupils Mark Hominick, Sam Stout and Chris Horodecki.[17] Who went about training the next generation of mixed martial artist's out of the newly rebranded Adrenaline MMA Training & Fitness.[18] During this period Adrenaline-talent Chad Laprise embarked on an 7 fight win-streak to earn himself a spot on the UFC's reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter.[19] He would go on to win the season's Tournament[20] and received bonus awards for Fight of the Season and Performance of the Season.[21] In 2013 Jesse Ronson won the Aggression FC Lightweight Championship, Malcolm Gordon won the HFC Flyweight Championship in 2014, They also moved locations to a new training center. The facility expands over two floors and 11,000 square feet.[22] In 2015 Chris Horodecki challenged Lance Palmer for the World Series of Fighting Featherweight Championship[23]and the gym would begin offering female only jujitsu lessons which became popular[24]. In 2016 Malcolm Gordon won the WXC Flyweight Championship and defended it once.[25] 2017-2018 saw the gym hold 3 Championships in TKO Major League MMA with Jesse Ronson winning both the TKO Lightweight and Welterweight Championships[26], Malcolm Gordon won the TKO Flyweight Championship defending it twice.[27] Both Ronson[28] and Gordan were invited to join the UFC in 2020.[29]
