Facebook fights fired up for MFC 37
Mar 24, 2013 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- For the first time in organizational history,
the Maximum Fighting Championship will bring all the heated action
of an event undercard to a live audience around the world via
Facebook.
At MFC 37: True Grit, fans will be able to see a five-fight preliminary bout lineup streaming live on the Maximum Fighting Championship’s Facebook page. Simply go to www.facebook.com/MaximumFighting and click ‘LIKE’ to watch the fistic fireworks.
The MFC has set three of the five fights slated for the True Grit
undercard which will get under way at 8 p.m. ET/6 p.m. MT/5 p.m. PT
on Friday, May 10 from the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton,
Alberta.
The main card of MFC 37: True Grit, headlined by the showdown for the MFC world heavyweight title between Chris Barnett and Smealinho Rama, will be airing live on AXS TV Fights beginning at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT (check local listings for channel designation).
Two middleweight fights will spark the undercard action at MFC 37. In what should be a rugged tussle, “The Loudmouth Assassin” Marcus Hicks will put a three-fight winning streak on the line against Jared McComb. At MFC 36, Hicks notched a second-round submission victory over Paul Grandbois, while McComb will look to get back to winning ways after having his four-fight winning streak stopped at MFC 33.
In the other middleweight matchup, former Knockout of the Night winner Paul Grandbois, who was the runner-up in voting for the MFC’s Fight of the Year in 2012, will take on hard-throwing striker Allen Hope. Back in April 2011, the two previously clashed with Hope earning the sixth knockout victory of his career in a first-round stoppage.
And as previously announced, the MFC 37: True Grit undercard will feature the much-anticipated “Brother vs. Brother” fight as Mike Treadwell squares off against his younger sibling Thomas Treadwell in a heavyweight clash.
Two more fights will be added shortly to the live Facebook undercard for MFC 37.
Tickets for MFC 37: True Grit are on sale now and available at www.ticketmaster.ca or by calling the MFC Ticket Hotline at (780) 504-2024.
