Posted on | November 12, 2010 | No Comments

Both fighters vying for the MFC world welterweight title had no problems on the scale during the official weigh-in for MFC 27: Breaking Point held Thursday, Nov. 11 at the world-famous West Edmonton Mall.

For the first time in company history, the weigh-in, which was hosted by HDNet Fights’ play-by-play voice Michael Schiavello, was also streamed live on the Internet.

Co-challenger Jesse Juarez (15-5) of Lakewood, California, hit the scale at 169.2 pounds while rival challenger Douglas “The Phenom” Lima (15-4), who fights out of Atlanta, Georgia, stepped off at 168.8 pounds. Juarez is attempting to become the third member of the Body Shop team to hold MFC championship gold, following in the footsteps of reigning lightweight champ Antonio McKee and former light heavyweight title-holder Emanuel Newton.

The title fight will cap a nine-fight card emanating from the River Cree Resort and Casino, just outside Edmonton, Alberta, on Friday, Nov. 12, with the main card of six fights airing live on HDNet Fights.

In the hotly anticipated welterweight matchup, veteran Pete “The Secret Weapon” Spratt was bang-on the target at 170, while home-town favorite Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford hit 170.6.

Both light heavyweight bouts on the main card also saw their fighters have no trouble on the scale. Dwayne Lewis (11-5) of Fort McMurray, Alberta, hit the target dead-on at 205, while his opponent “Razor” Razak Al-Hassan (11-2) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, touched at 204.4. Meanwhile, Rodney Wallace (9-3) of Charlotte, North Carolina, and David Heath (16-6) of Tulsa, Oklahoma, hit identical marks of 203.4 for their showdown.
