Maromo vs.
Lynn plus two more bouts added to Collision Course on May
4
The Maximum Fighting Championship
has completed its lineup of the main card for MFC 33: Collision Course slated
for Friday, May 4 in Edmonton, Alberta.
The main card, highlighted by the
MFC welterweight title tilt between Ryan “The Kid” McGillivray and Nathan
“Soulforce” Coy, will air live on HDNet Fights from the Mayfield Conference
Centre beginning at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT (check local listings for
channel designation).
For the first time in organization
history, back-to-back winners of the Knockout of the Night will clash as
home-town favorite “The African Assassin” Mukai Maromo tangles with Adam Lynn in
a lightweight matchup. Maromo (6-2) captured the KO of the Night honor at MFC 30
as he felled Scott Cleve in just 36 seconds. Maromo ran his winning streak to
three straight when he captured a convincing unanimous decision verdict over
Sabah Fadai at MFC 31.
At MFC 31, it was Lynn’s turn to
take home the KO of the Night award when he blasted Curtis Demarce with a
vicious elbow only 1:38 into their encounter. Lynn, who fights out of Laguna
Hills, California, would later get the nod for the MFC’s 2011 Knockout of the
Year. Lynn (17-8) is on a real tear having won six straight with the demolition
of Demarce being the sixth knockout victory of his 10-year
career.
Another home-town fighter has a spot
on the MFC 33 roster as Cody “Genghis” Krahn meets up with MFC newcomer Mike
Kent in a middleweight bout. Krahn (11-4), who has won eight of his last 10
outings and has eight submission wins under his belt, finally earned his
long-awaited first win under the MFC banner when he scored a hard-fought,
first-round submission of Ryan Chiappe at MFC 31.
But Krahn doesn’t have an easy task
ahead of him in the unbeaten Kent (8-0), who hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Kent has finished all but one of his fights, and has stopped his opposition four
times inside the first round.
Chiappe (8-7) will get a chance to
redeem himself at MFC 33 as he meets the rejuvenated Jamie “The Ghost” Toney
(15-7) in a welterweight showdown. Chiappe, a native of Prince George, British
Columbia, has won four of his last six outings, and boasts six knockouts on his
resume.
Toney, the Bas Rutten-trained talent
from Los Angeles, California, was stopped by Dhiego Lima in his organizational
debut at MFC 30, but rebounded with a clear-cut decision victory over Kyle
Jackson at MFC 32 in January – a battle that is an early contender for the MFC’s
2012 Fight of the Year. A well-rounded battler, Toney has six knockouts and
seven submission victories to his credit.
