Jack Bateman is the President and CEO of Premier Entertainment and Warrior One Mixed Martial Arts. Jack was born and raised In Toronto, Ontario and is the son of a highly successful general contractor. Jack got in to the trades at age 17 and by 20 was the youngest licensed electrician in the province of Ontario . In 1998 Jack started a highly successful electrical contracting business.

In 2000 Jack officially began his journey into martial arts training at Warrior MMA in Newmarket , Ontario . Jack forged a reputation as a high level competitor on Ontario jujitsu competition circuit for 5 years and was the winner of the Canadian jujitsu association 4 round tournament in 2006. In 2007 he was injured in training shortly after retired from competitive action.

Over the years Jack has travelled the world and been actively involved in training and assisting some of Canada ’s best fighters in the world’s most prestigious mixed martial arts promotions including the UFC and Pride Fighting in Japan . Jack quickly fell in love with the sport of mixed martial arts and became one of Canada most knowledgeable individuals.

In less than a year Warrior One MMA has quickly established itself as Canada ’s premier MMA promotion and under the leadership of Bateman has forged a deal with the SCORE television network which will make Warrior One the highest watched Canadian based MMA event ever.
