There will be “Blood on the Dancefloor” at Ultimate Cage Wars 16, held June 19 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, and UCW president Tony Condello couldn’t be happier.

Blood, after all, is very good for business. It’s also going to help “submit” breast cancer. Here’s the deal:

Local band Pushing Daisies and Condello’s UCW have tapped out a deal that has the pair teaming up to take breast cancer to the mat. To kick off their partnership, Pushing Daisies will be showcasing songs from their latest album, Your Devils and Your Angels, during intermission for the June 19 card.

They are “super excited about the marriage of our music with mixed martial arts,” says Pushing Daisies spokesman Curtis Paull.

Fans will hear the lead single Ride, plus Blood on the Dancefloor, which has been played during the Stanley Cup playoffs during Hockey Night in Canada.

The Daisies album will also be on sale at the event, with partial proceeds going to CancerCare Manitoba for breast cancer research.

“We didn’t have to think twice about donating part of the proceeds,” says Paull. “Breast cancer has pretty much touched everyone in the band.

“Pushing Daisies music will be used on all UCW DVDs,” added Condello. “We’re very happy to be associated with such a fine group of people.”

The band will also be featured in an upcoming movie on the life of Condello, scheduled to begin filming next year in Toronto and Winnipeg. Somehow, Doc (Bob) Holliday and I have to be in that, portraying characters that suit our “station” — priests perhaps, sinless variety.

Let’s not forget there will also be fights on June 19 — nine to be exact, the headliner being Bret (The Angry Hick) Bergmark going up against Kalib Starnes.

And blood, of course: lots of blood. Amen, bro, let it flow.
