why you need to be at btc 37…
BTC Fight Promotions heads to Burlington on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, for something completely new. BTC 37: MMA Expo takes over Central Arena for the first-ever event of its kind—an all-day mixed martial arts experience featuring amateur championship finals during the day and a high-level professional card at night.
This isn’t just a fight night… it’s an MMA Expo
The daytime portion showcases the highly anticipated finals of April’s Challenger Series tournaments, where semifinal winners return to compete for amateur titles across multiple weight classes. These athletes have already battled their way through the bracket—now they step into the cage with belts on the line. For many, this moment represents the biggest opportunity of their amateur careers and the final step before turning professional.
When the lights go down, the pros take over
The evening card delivers major matchups featuring some of the region’s top professional talent. These are established fighters building momentum, chasing rankings, and positioning themselves for bigger stages. Expect high stakes, high intensity, and the kind of performances that have made BTC a proven pathway to organizations like the UFC and PFL.
Beyond the cage, BTC 37 transforms Central Arena into a full MMA festival experience. Fans can explore vendor booths featuring fight gear and equipment, enjoy food trucks on-site, and take part in interactive games with prizes on the line. Whether you're there to support a teammate, scout rising talent, or simply immerse yourself in the culture of the sport, there’s something happening from start to finish.
Two events… One venue… One unforgettable day
Fans can purchase tickets to the amateur event, the professional event, or secure a double-header pass to experience the entire MMA Expo from afternoon to night.
For nearly a decade, BTC Fight Promotions has built a reputation for developing Canadian MMA talent and delivering unforgettable live experiences. BTC 37 elevates that vision—bringing the entire MMA community together under one roof to celebrate every stage of the fight journey.
The future of the sport competes in the afternoon. The present puts on a show at night.
