MFC strips Antonio McKee of title after failure to make weight for MFC 32

At a crucial time where Maximum Fighting Championship is taking strides to become one of the largest MMA organizations in the world, the news that lightweight champ Antonio McKee missed weight for his scheduled bout tonight caused the company to take immediate action.

McKee, scheduled to fight Brian Cobb on the at the top of tomorrow night’s MFC 32 event, weighed in for his title match at 162 pounds, seven over the title match limit of 155. The company, owned by the often outspoken Mark Pavelich, took to social media immediately after the weigh-ins to announce McKee had been stripped of his lightweight title and would be released from the promotion regardless of the outcome of the fight.

The fight will go on as the scheduled co-main event but will now be contested at a catch-weight. Cobb’s contender status will be determined in the future after the fight is complete.

As of press time, Pavelich has yet to comment further.
