Daley Misses Weight for MFC 20

ENOCH, Alberta -- Paul Daley failed to make weight for his bout with former Bodog Fight welterweight champion Nick Thompson at Maximum Fighting Championship 20. Daley checked in at 171.5 pounds at Thursday’s official weigh-in and will forfeit 25 percent of his pay to Thompson.

“I really want to apologize to the MFC and to Nick Thompson for missing weight,” Daley said. “I don’t know why; I hope I’m not making this a habit. Maybe it’s, in part, [due] to the 20-hour flight.”

Daley (19-7-2) has missed weight for each of his past two fights. In December, he came in four pounds overweight for his bout with UFC veteran John Alessio at MFC 19. Daley defeated Alessio by technical knockout midway through the second round.

All other fighters made weight successfully, including MFC welterweight champion Pat Healy (169) and his challenger, Ryan Ford (171).

MFC 20 “Destined for Greatness” will air live on HDNet at 10 p.m. ET on Friday.
