Alberta welterweight “Real Deal” Ryan Ford (7-1) has pulled out of his title rematch with MFC champion “Bam Bam” Pat Healy (16-14) at MFC 19: Long Time Coming in Edmonton 5 December due to a hyper-extended left knee.

Ford said, “I have to stay off it for a bit so there was no way I could have a full training camp which means I couldn’t be fully prepared for the fight.”

The rematch is rescheduled for MFC 20: Destined for Greatness 20 February, in Edmonton.

Ford is coming off a unanimous decision victory over “Thrill” Nabil Khatib (9-4) at Raw Combat in October.

Ford was submitted via armbar in his fight with Healy for the vacant welterweight title in July.

“Bam Bam” Pat Healy (19-14) took this fight for the Maximum Fighting Championship welterweight title on short notice and pulled the upset win over hometown favourite “The Real Deal” Ryan Ford (6-1) Friday in Edmonton.

Ford looked dominant for most of the fight but Healy defended well; Healy attempted submissions, but Ford escaped using brute strength. In the end, Ford left himself vulnerable one too many times as Healy secured the armbar and forced Ford to tap at 3:02 of round three.

One punch was all it took for light heavyweight Aron Lofton (3-0) to defeat Dwayne Lewis (3-5). After faking a jab, Lofton threw an overhand right to knock out his opponent at 0:17 of round one.

Lightweight Benson Henderson (5-1) dominated the first round with strikes, Ricardo Tirloni (3-1) controlled the second, but it was Henderson who jumped on Tirloni, locked in a guillotine, and ended the fight at 3:49 of the second round.
