Boston— World Championship Fighting (WCF) and WBCN are proud to announce a long-term partnership set to kick off at the upcoming WCF show June 20th, at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, MA.

WCF is the East Coast’s premiere Mixed Martial Arts organization. The sport of Mixed Martial Arts is also known as Ultimate Fighting, a trademark of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

“This partnership with WBCN Radio is the ideal way for us to build on the momentum we’ve established in the Boston Mixed Martial Arts scene. We’ve successfully worked with WBCN in the past, but this is the first time that we’re working together in a partnership role. Said Joe Cavallaro President of World Championship Fighting, Mixed Martial Arts is the hottest sport in the country and our goal, with WBCN’s help, is to make this sport as mainstream as basketball, baseball and football. Once you’ve been to a fight live, you’re hooked! There’s nothing more exciting. As a brand, we (World Championship Fighting and WBCN) share the same listeners and fans and we look forward to working with WBCN, The Rock of Boston.”

“WBCN is very excited about working with the WCF, exclaimed Cha-Chi Loprete, WBCN Marketing Director. It’s no secret that our listeners are WCF fans, so it’s a natural fit for us. These types of affiliations certainly strike a nerve with our listener base. We’re looking forward to some spectacular events and promotions”.
