Prater fails weigh-in test
By MFC Staff - Oct 01, 2009
LW fight dropped to 3 rounds
Challenger Carlo Prater has let a golden opportunity slip through his fingers.
The Brazilian missed the 155-pound target at the weigh-in for MFC 22: Payoff and will not be allowed to fight for the MFC world lightweight championship against reigning title-holder Antonio McKee.
The fight will go ahead as a three-round, non-title fight and as the co-main event to the middleweight showdown between Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald and Travis "The Serial Killer" Lutter.
"I'm extremely disappointed in Carlo. It's not acceptable to miss weight any time, but it's a gigantic mistake to miss it for a title fight," said MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich.
Lutter had no trouble with the scale as both he and MacDonald registered at 185 1/2 pounds. Their clash will headline the show which airs live throughout North America on HDNet Fights.

Didn't McKee miss weight as well or is there a lb allowance for title fights there?

This is the best MFC can do to promote their fight? This is an MFC article?

KenP - This is the best MFC can do to promote their fight? This is an MFC article? Where the fuck have you been for the last four months? There have been multiple threads and I'm sure there are other people/places where your concerns would be more suitably directed.

The fight shouldnt be at 155 anyway. Carlo is a big 170. He probably killed himself just trying to get close.

Plus I think that they only get one shot on the scale, no second.

Under the River Cree Athletic Commission, you get a pound allowance even for title fights but you only have one chance to make weight.
