The Maximum Fighting Championship promotion returned to the airwaves on HDNet last night (Friday, May 4, 2012) with MFC 33: Collision Course, live from the Mayfield Trade Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The event saw a MFC welterweight title bout between former Strikeforce fighter Nathan Coy and TUF 13 competitor Ryan McGillivray. By the end of the third round, McGillivray was beaten and battered, virtually unresponsive to coach Greg Jackson’s instructions in the corner after the third round. Before things could get started for the fourth round, the cage side doctor called an end to the fight, awarding Coy the win and the MFC 170-lbs title.
Co-main event fighters Mukai Maromo and Adam Lynn, fought to a controversial split decision result in Maromo’s favor with HDNet color commentator Pat Miletich calling it one of the worst decisions he’d ever seen. The two fighters will meet again for the MFC lightweight title at MFC 34 on August 10, 2012.
