The Wolfslair MMA Academy is a fight team and training camp for mixed martial artists and kickboxers, headquartered in Widnes, England. The school was founded by Liverpool MMA fans Anthony McGann and Lee Gwynn.[2][3][4][5][6] The academy earned publicity from their signing of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson, former UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo, and former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping to training and managerial contracts. With these signings, Wolfslair became noted as one of the most prominent training stables in the UK's MMA scene.[3][4][5]
