Hamilton Tiger-Cats form partnership with UFC challenger Mark Hominick

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are joining forces with UFC featherweight contender Mark “The Machine” Hominick.

The 145-pound fighter from Thamesford, Ont., will wear a Ticats hat when he enters the Rogers Centre cage for UFC 129 on April 30. His fight shorts will also showcase CFL team’s logo.

Hominick will also be featured at “MMA Night” at Ivor Wynne Stadium on July 16 when the Ticats host the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

“As an exciting, tough, local Canadian athlete, Mark embodies many of our organization’s characteristics,” Hamilton president Scott Mitchell said in a statement.

“We are glad to be in Mark’s corner as he contends for the featherweight title and we know our fans in the TigerTown region will be behind him.”

Hominick (20-8) is challenging Brazil’s Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title.
