Welcome to PWInsiderXTRA's coverage of tonight's MFC 32: Bitter Rivals live from the
Mayfield Inn Trade and Conference Centre
in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Tonight's card features two interesting bouts as Wilson Gouveia goes toe to toe with Dwayne Lewis in a five round non-title fight, and originally scheduled as an MFC lightweight championship bout, the fight between Antonio Mckee and Brian Cobb has been changed to a non-title three round affair.
As PWInsiderXTRA reported yesterday, McKee came in seven pounds overweight, was stripped of his title, and will be released from the organization following tonight's fight. It will be interesting to see how this comes across on television, as MFC has promoted this as the end of Antonio McKee's televised fighting career and promises big things. The action is getting started, so let's get to business.
