McKee stripped of title at MFC 32 weigh-inMaximum Fighting Championship Owner/President Mark Pavelich stripped Antonio McKee of his lightweight belt after the longtime veteran weighed in seven pounds over the limit for his scheduled title fight against Brian Cobb on Friday night.
The McKee-Cobb encounter will now be a three-round, non-title affair at a catchweight as the co-headliner of MFC 32: Bitter Rivals emanating from the Mayfield Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, and live on HDNet Fights starting at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT (check local listings for channel designation).
McKee (26-4-2) stepped off the scale at 162 pounds, resulting in the forfeiture of his title. Cobb (19-6) was also over the allowable 155-pound mark, albeit by just a half-pound.
“I am extremely disappointed and incredibly frustrated by the fact that McKee missed weight by such a ridiculous amount,” said Pavelich. “That’s completely unacceptable, particularly for a fighter with the years’ of experience that he has in this sport.
“The MFC has taken his belt and he won’t ever wear it again.”
