‘Bushido’ Bercier to face Silva at MFC 36
Jan 21, 2013
(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Maximum Fighting Championship has finalized
its main-card lineup for MFC 36: Reality Check with a newly signed
middleweight bout.
Jay Silva will now take on Leo Bercier in one of three middleweight clashes slated for the MFC 36 main card. The strength and depth of the MFC’s 185-pound division will certainly be on display as the Silva/Bercier encounter is joined on the card by the MFC middleweight title fight pitting defending champion Elvis “The King” Mutapcic against “Smilen” Sam Alvey, plus the meeting between Jason Zentgraf versus Luke Harris.
All three fights will be featured on the AXS TV Fights card airing
live from the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, on
Friday, February 15, beginning at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT
(check local listings for channel designation).
Bercier (7-2-1, 1 NC) enters the MFC having won two of his last three outings – both victories coming by knockout. The Missoula, Montana, product holds six career wins via knockout, and six of his seven verdicts have come inside the opening round. Bercier (Twitter: @LBercier) steps in to replace previously announced Jacen Flynn, who chose to back out of the fight.
Graham Spencer (9-1, 1 NC) vs. Mukai Maromo (8-2), MFC lightweight title
Sam Alvey (19-4, 1 NC) vs. Elvis Mutapcic (12-2), MFC middleweight title
