TKO Major League MMA is a defunct Canadian mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, formerly the biggest MMA promotion in Canada. Despite its name, it was considered a minor circuit, overshadowed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, with which it had a close working relationship. In its early existence, TKO used a boxing-style ring to stage bouts, later became the only promotion other than the UFC to use a UFC-spec Octagon cage. The TKO president was Stéphane Patry, who also managed several fighters. TKO's programming is currently seen on Fight Network and RDS in Canada which also has an IPTV offering on Joost.

“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
