Ontario, California April 27, 2010 - Submission Ink announced today that the lineup for the Submission Ink MMA Autograph Session is complete. The lineup will consist of Former WEC Lightweight Champion and current assistant coach on the The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 "Razor" Rob McCullough, WEC Featherweight contender Cub Swanson, StrikeForce Middleweight fighter Benji "Razor" Radach and Jamie "The Chosyn 1" Yager from the UFC Reality TV hit The Ultimate Fighter Season 11.
The Submission Ink MMA Autograph Session will take place May 1st in Ontario California at the Ontario Convention Center and coincides with the three day long Rock The Ink Tattoo and Entertainment Festival (April 30th, May 1st-2nd). The autograph session takes place inside an actual MMA cage so fans get the full MMA experience complete with Ring Card girls. More information is available at
McCullough, the former WEC Lightweight Champion, is known as one of the most feared strikers in all of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) with his blend of power, speed and technique. McCullough can be seen as the assistant coach for Team Punishment on Spike TV’s hit series “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 11 produced by the UFC.
Alongside McCullough will be current star of The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Jamie Yager. Yager is one of this season’s most electrifying young talents having won his preliminary fight over Ben Stark by devastating knockout with a high kick and followed up that win with another knockout for his second KO on the show.
Radach is best known in MMA for his last fight, one of the best of 2009, with Scott Smith in StrikeForce when the two went to war in a grueling three round fight which saw excellent striking from both fighters. Outside of the sport Radach is widely known for foiling an armed robbery attempt at a Vancouver Washington restaurant where he was eating. Radach was able to physically disarm the would-be robber and subdue him until police arrived.
Swanson is coming off of a submission win over the highly ranked John Franchi in November of 2009 which earned him Fight of the Night honors. It was later revealed that Swanson had broken both of his hands in the fight yet found a way to secure the guillotine choke for the victory. Swanson has faced some of the top fighters in the featherweight division including current WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver and WEC veteran Charlie Valencia and was the owner of an eleven fight win streak from 2004-2007.
