Ward pulled from AMMO event
by Brian Woodman Jr. on 08/20/14
Spokespersons for the Ammo Fight League have confirmed that Brenna Ward (9-2-0) will not be participating in a superfight with Dan Simmler during the organization's Aug. 30 mixed grappling event in South Windsor. A replacement is being sought as of this writing.
Sources stated that Bellator would not permit Ward to participate, although he will be participating in a future AMMO event. Ward is scheduled to compete in Bellator 123 this fall at Mohegan Sun. Ward is scheduled to fight Tamdan McCrory (11-3-0).
Bill Vigil, president of Ammo, issued a statement on Facebook regarding Ward's departure from the schedule.
"We have been notified by Brennan Ward's management that Bellator MMA got wind of the Grappling Super fight match against Dan Simmler and are totally against it and have notified Brennan that due to a contractual agreement to fight on Sept 5 at the Mohegan Sun Casino he cannot jeopardize getting hurt and if so would be cut from the card. We fully understand Bellator MMA's position and respect it but have been guaranteed by Brennan Ward and his management that he will be on our October 25th AMMO V Super Fight card. With this said we are looking for a replacement to go against Dan Simmler in Brennan Wards place. Please reach out to me as soon as possible to get your flyer and name posted!"
