Camp: ADK Olympic MMA Team
Alliance: CC
Nationality: American
Rank: 4

Wayne "Summer WInd CC" Newton is a popular streetfighter who signed straight into World League of Fighting when he began competing in MMA. He quickly rose through the ranks of WLOF and Preliator before signing to the EFC, where he has remained for the past 2 years. He has been a top fighter in the EFC org in that time, scoring 6 title wins in his time with the org, and becoming number 1 contender 3 times. Most recently he won the title from Tobias Iversen and defended against Randy Blais this reset. It will take a strong contender to upset a champion with this kind of MMA talent.
