SKILLED TRADES COLLEGE OF CANADA UFC

Success Isn't Given. It's Built.

Champions aren't born under the lights. They're forged in the reps nobody sees. We're proud to stand alongside four Canadian UFC athletes who built their careers the only way that lasts. By hand. By grind. By showing up before anyone else does.

CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH

Fighters and tradespeople are the same breed

Nobody hands you a black belt. Nobody hands you a Red Seal. Both are earned one rep, one round, one job site at a time. The mindset that builds a UFC career is the exact mindset that builds a trade.
01

Reps over shortcuts

Mastery is thousands of clean repetitions. In the gym or on the tools, there's no skipping the work.
02

Discipline beats talent

The people who last aren't the most gifted. They're the ones who show up on the days they don't feel like it.

03

Built by hand

Real skill lives in the hands. You learn it by doing it, correcting it, and doing it again until it's yours.
04

Earn your ticket

There are no participation trophies in the cage or on the crew. You step up, you prove it, you get paid.
THE ROSTER

In your corner

Four Canadian UFC athletes who chose the hard road, put in the reps, and built something that couldn't be taken away.
FEATURED AMBASSADOR

Georges

"Rush" St-Pierre

UFC HALL OF FAMER • TWO-DIVISION CHAMPION
Widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. The pride of Saint-Isidore, Quebec, St-Pierre held titles in two weight classes, defended his welterweight crown a record nine straight times, and retired on top. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2020 and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2023.

He never won on raw talent. He won on preparation, film study, and an obsession with the fundamentals. That is the trades mindset in its purest form.

Career record

MIKE "PROPER" MALOTT

WELTERWEIGHT · ONTARIO
Born in Burlington and raised in the Hamilton area, Malott trains out of Niagara Top Team in St. Catharines. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt known for fast, clean finishes and multiple Performance of the Night bonuses. Built his craft in Ontario gyms, one round at a time.
HOMEGROWN GRIT

JASMINE JASUDAVICIUS

WOMEN'S FLYWEIGHT · ST. CATHARINES, ON
Proof it's never too late to build something. A St. Catharines native, she came to MMA in her mid-20s after years working outside the sport, then turned a steep learning curve into a UFC career earned on pressure, wrestling, and a BJJ black belt. The ultimate career-changer.
STARTED LATE, BUILT FAST

CHARLES "AIR" JOURDAIN

FEATHERWEIGHT / BANTAMWEIGHT · BELOEIL, QC
A French-Canadian striker who arrived in the UFC as a two-division regional champion and built a name for exciting, high-finish fights. Knocked down, adjusts, comes back. He and his brother Louis became the first Canadian brothers to compete in the UFC.
RESILIENCE OVER EVERYTHING
