Josh Gratton, who has played professional hockey all over the world for the last 18 years, seems to be on the hunt for current and former hockey enforcers who want to be involved in a fight card. Gratton posted a photo of the stipulations, payments, and several other details to his Twitter account. The note, which bears the UFC name and logo, gives several email addresses to use for anyone looking to fight in or judge the event.

The only detail missing from the note is whether the fight would take place on the ice or in a mixed martial arts cage.
Gratton's Tweet did manage to catch the attention of another former NHL enforcer in Cam Janssen, who seems interested in judging. Whether any of this will actually take place is a bit of a mystery right now.

Gratton started his pro career in 2003 with the ECHL's San Diego Gulls. He managed a total of 86 games in the NHL, all of which were played with the Philadelphia Flyers and the then Phoenix Coyotes. In those 86 games, he racked up a total of 295 penalty minutes. He has played in several leagues outside of North America, including the KHL where he had 170 penalty minutes in 24 games with Chekhov Vityaz (now HC Vityaz) in 2010-11. He's also had stints in Finland, Germany, and France. In 2019-20, he was a member of the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL.
