Incredible night of fights on tap for Friday, June 10
Press Release – June 6, 2011: A friendly reminder to our friends in the media that the Maximum Fighting Championship will be hosting the official press conference for MFC 30: Up Close & Personal will take place on Wednesday, June 8 at 12:30 p.m. in the Lobby Courtyard of the Mayfield Inn. Lunch will be provided.
The Maximum Fighting Championship unleashes MFC 30: Up Close & Personal on Friday, June 10 at the Mayfield Conference Centre in Edmonton, and will air live on HDNet Fights throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This will be the Maximum Fighting Championship’s triumphant return to the place where it all started – the City of Champions – following its tremendously successful debut at Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, for MFC 29.
MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich will be the featured speaker at the press conference and he will be alongside the biggest names on the card. The MFC 30: Up Close & Personal lineup boasts co-main events that will showcase some of the MFC’s top talents including lightweight stars Drew “Night Rider” Fickett and Brian “The Bandit” Cobb plus the much-anticipated welterweight clash between rival veterans Pete “The Secret Weapon” Spratt and “The Irish Hand Grenade” Marcus Davis. The night of fights will also include the rematch all MFC fans have been waiting for as Edmonton’s own Sheldon Westcott goes up against Thomas “Wildman” Denny as they look to settle their issue following a draw back in February.
