Chuck Wichert is a U.S Air Force veteran of over 10 years of
service where he served as an Air Traffic Controller and served in direct
support of major operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, South Korea and
Afghanistan! Today, Chuck is still an
Air Traffic Controller in the Federal Government while being heavily involved
in the MMA industry.
Chuck began in the MMA business industry in 2004 as owner of
the Alaska Fighting Championship; an MMA promotion he owned and operated with
partners while serving active duty in the U.S Air Force while stationed in
Alaska. While attending Roy
Englebrecht’s Fight Promoter University in Irvine, CA in 2006, that’s when he
met Joe Cavallaro, a well-known MMA Athlete Manager. After establishing a friendship and learning
from Joe, Chuck established an interest in managing fighters also! It was at
that point that this became a true passion for him. Chuck said, “from being a promoter and hearing some of
the stories out there, I knew this was a corrupt business full of people just
out there for themselves, taking advantage of fighters and lacking
honesty. I want to bring integrity back
to the sport and be there for the fighters giving them management they can
trust.” Chuck took his first fighter to the UFC within just 3 months of
getting into fighter management.
After establishing his first MMA management company in early
2007, Chuck took his first ever signed fighter, Doug Evans to the UFC where he
made his debut June 23, 2007 vs. Roger Huerta LIVE on Spike TV. In late 2007, Chuck made a decision to leave
the US Air Force for the Federal Aviation Administration. It was then that Chuck had to sell the Alaska
Fighting Championship, however continued to manage fighters where he picked up
UFC talents such as Thiago Alves, Marcus Aurelio, Justin Buchholz and
more.
Chuck took a brief hiatus from MMA management after moving
to Dubai. It wasn’t long after that when
he received a phone call from good friend, Charles Ruocco from
mmacanada.net. It was then that Chuck
was introduced to an undefeated fighter out of Regina, Saskatchewan named Mitch
Clarke. Within a few months of
entrusting Chuck with his MMA career, Mitch would find himself on the UFC
roster! This reunited Chuck with the
passion of managing fighters and leading them to smart decisions and ultimately
their dream.
Today, Chuck continues to represent fighters under the new
"MMA United Sports Entertainment" and still remains true to
those values of honesty and integrity - to say the least. Chuck
represents his fighters with the best intentions; those of his fighters in mind
wishing for them to succeed personally
and professionally. Currently, MMA United SE represents fighters of
various weight classes both male and female in top organizations and future stars.
