MFC President Mark Pavelich Reportedly Suspended By ABC

It would appear that Maximum Fighting Championship president Mark Pavelich is behind on some fees owed to the River Cree Resort & Casino located near the city of Edmonton, Canada according to TheGarv.com.

Pavelich has reportedly been suspended by the Association of Boxing Commissions for “non-payment of fees owing to the commission” which will be lifted once he pays up.

The Garv.com was tipped off today that a member of Canada’s athletic commission filed a request to to the head of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) to officially suspend Mark Pavelich, president and promoter of Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC) for “non-payment of fees owing to the commission”.

6/17/10: It looks like the fees owed by Pavelich and MFC stem back to an event in February, and more than one attempt was made to arrange payment with no response from MFC. From what I understand, the suspension is officially in place, but will be lifted if Pavelich settles up. He’s expected to do so in the next few days.

The MMA News has interviewed the MFC president in the past, and is known for some of his colorful comments on the UG forums. Hopefully this won’t effect some of his promotions upcoming events such as the HeatXC show next month and the next MFC show in the fall, which he’s looking to hold in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada for anyone living in that area. That event should showcase an MFC middleweight title bout featuring BJJ specialist Thales Leites.

An undisclosed injury to Julio Paulino (17-3) has forced the welterweight fighter out of his UFC 116 bout with Daniel Roberts (9-1). Making his return to the UFC will be Forrest Petz (18-7), who has won four straight to make his way back to the octagon.

Petz last appearance at a UFC event was back in October of 2007 where he lost a split decision to Josh Burkman at UFC 77, which was his fifth straight bout with the promotion going 2-3. Since that time he’s gone 5-2, including the four straight victories having fought for various promotions. His last pro fight was at the recent “Moosin: God of Martial Arts” event in May, where he earned a unanimous decision over Ralph Johnson.

Roberts is coming off the first professional loss of his career to John Howard after making his UFC debut at the UFC on Versus 1 event this past March. He was KO’d in the first round of that fight. Roberts has won seven of his nine victories by submission, and has only fought past the first round three times.

Their fight will take place on the preliminary card of the event.

“UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin” will take place on July 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. and is headlined by a heavyweight title unification bout between current champ Brock Lesnar vs. interim champ Shane Carwin.
