With MMA promotions like Bellator and the Maximum Fighting Championship occupying Friday night’s, the end of the work week has become the start of the “Fight Weekend” for fans.

There may not be a UFC on this weekend, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any MMA action to be had. With promotions running across the globe, here’s a quick peek at some of the main event excitement you can catch to complete your weekend.
The MMA Calendar has turned to the month of October and the end of the year is within our sights. The final quarter of the year is not only filled with holidays but it also typically contains some of the best MMA action the year has to offer. October has plenty of fights, which is always great, but this month has a handful of fights that you do not want to miss.
The well-traveled lightweight and former UFC fighter Shane Nelson has signed a multi-fight deal with the Maximum Fighting Championship. The Hawaiian will make his MFC debut while also making his featherweight debut against Canadian prospect Graham Spencer at MFC 35: Explosive Encounter.
MFC 34: Total Recall took place Friday night in Edmonton, Alberta at the Mayfield Trade Centre, and all of the main card fights aired live on AXS TV. The main event was a rematch between Mukai Maromo and Adam Lynn and it was supposed to be a 5 round title fight for the vacant lightweight belt. That all went out the window when Maromo missed weight and the fight was changed to a 3 round scrap.
The Maximum Fighting Championship had three fighters miss weight for Friday’s MFC 34: Total Recall event, including Adam Lynn who was scheduled to Mukai Maromo for the vacant MFC lightweight title. The fight will still take place but has now been reduced to a three-round, non-title fight.
