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] The academy earned publicity due their signing of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson, UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo, and UFC middleweight Michael Bisping to training and managerial contracts.
