No stranger to fighting, Donald Brashear is looking to mixed martial arts.
A spokeswoman for promoter Ringside MMA says the former NHL enforcer has a deal to try cage-fighting.
The 39-year-old Brashear still has to pass a medical exam and get a license to fight from Quebec authorities. The plan is for Brashear to fight on the Ringside 11 card June 4 at the Quebec Coliseum.
Brashear is playing in the semipro Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey. He played in the NHL for the Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and New York Rangers.
