MMA Fighting has Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC 30) results of the Brian Cobb vs. Drew Fickett, Marcus Davis vs. Pete Spratt co-headliners as well as the rest of the HDNet-televised event from the Mayfield Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Drew Fickett, who has won five straight via submission, was supposed to fight for the vacant MFC lightweight title on this card until scheduled opponent Hermes Franca was forced out due to serious criminal allegations. One-time Sengoku and UFC competitor Brian Cobb will step in, but the belt will not be on the line.

Former UFC fighter Marcus Davis debuted successfully with the MFC in April, defeating Curtis Demarce via split decision and the 37-year-old will look to string together back-to-back wins when he faces experienced striker Pete Spratt in a welterweight showdown. Davis previously met Spratt in April 2007 at UFC 69 where he submitted Spratt with an achilles lock.

MFC 30 results are below.

– Brian Cobb def. Drew Fickett via TKO (punches) – R1, 4:44
– Marcus Davis def. Pete Spratt via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28)
– Sheldon Westcott def. Thomas Denny via unanimous decision (29-27 3x)
*Westcott was deducted a point in the third round for hitting Denny in the back of the head.
– Dhiego Lima def. Jamie Toney via TKO (punches) – R1, 2:47
– Curtis Demarce def. Robert Washington via split decision (30-27, 29-28, 28-29)
* Decision was initially announced in favor of Robert Washington, but commission later changed the result after learning the 30-27 score was meant for Demarce and not Washington.
– Andreas Spang def. Cody Krahn via submission (guillotine choke) – R1, 1:18
– Mukai Maromo def. Scott Cleve via first-round TKO
– Garrett Nybakken def. Jevon Marshall via first-round TKO

Notes: The MFC announced a new five-year deal with HDNet … The next MFC event is targeted for September.

Sengoku 15: Hiroshi Izumi Wins a Robbery; Cobb and Blanco Victorious

A Sengoku 15 fight card that was short on big names and short on fireworks and probably would have been quickly forgotten will instead be remembered for the Japanese judges giving an absolutely ridiculous decision to a Japanese fighter in the main event.

That main event featured Englishman James Zikic opening a cut over Hiroshi Izumi‘s right eye early in the fight and controlling the bout standing up most of the rest of the way, and it appeared that Zikic would win an easy unanimous decision. Instead, when the judges’ scorecards were announced, Izumi had won a split decision.

Sengoku has tried hard to push Izumi, who has a great background, but the truth is he’s just not that good. Zikic beat him handily, and it’s absurd that the judges handed Izumi the victory.

All fighters with the exception of Brian Cobb made weight for Saturday’s Sengoku Raiden Championship 15 to be held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan and broadcast live from 2 AM Saturday on HDNet.

Cobb, who is scheduled to face Grabaka’s Kazunori Yokota, weighed-in 3.3 kg (7.3 lbs) over weight and was not present for the pre-fight press conference as he was still working to lose the excess weight.

Although former SRC featherweight champ Masanori Kanehara and four-time BJJ World Cup champion Leo Santos were forced off the card, a plethora of talent will still be on show as Maximo Blanco takes on Pancrase legend Kiuma Kunioku, Yasubey Enomoto battles the much improved Taisuke “Gouten” Okuno in the welterweight GP semifinals and the seeded fighters enter the quarterfinals of the bantamweight Asia GP.

Sengoku 15 has taken quite the hit over the last two weeks as Leo Santos bowed out of his anticipated match-up with Yoshida Dojo rising star Maximo Blanco and the return of the former SRC featherweight champ Masanori Kanehara was put on hold as his opponent Doo Ho Choi was also forced to out due to injury.

Still, the promotion still has some high quality action on offer in the form of the excellent bantamweight Asia and welterweight tournaments, former welterweight and middleweight King of Pancrase Kiuma Kunioku has stepped up to face the wonderfully violent Maximo Blanco and Kazunori Yokota will return to face Brian Cobb.

After the break, Sengoku Raiden Championship 15 predictions so good that they probably need a spoiler warning.
