The Wolfslair MMA Academy was an English fight team and training camp for mixed martial artists and kickboxers, founded by mixed martial arts fans Anthony McGann and Lee Gwynn in 2004.[1] It was headquartered in a former frozen sausage factory in Widnes, a small town near Liverpool.[2][3][4] The academy earned publicity when it began training and managing UFC fighters such as American UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson, English future UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping, and French UFC heavyweight competitor Cheick Kongo. With these signings, it became noted as one of the most prominent training stables in the UK's MMA scene from 2006 until its closure in 2012.[3][4]
