UFC veterans Heath and Clark to headline MFC 18
August 24, 2008 by Scott White
The Maximum Fighting Championship has announced that UFC veteran David Heath will headline MFC 18: Famous in a light heavyweight showdown with Emanuel Newton.
Earlier this month, MFC president Mark Pavelich announced that he had signed Heath to a multi-fight contract with the hopes that he’ll eventually meet up with MFC light heavyweight champion Roger “The Hulk” Hollett.
Heath, a native of Nowata, Oklahoma, possesses a mixed martial arts record of 9-3. Heath owns victories over notable names such as Victor Valimaki, Cory Walmsley, and Sean Salmon. Heath went 2-3 in the UFC and was released in February after dropping consecutive bouts to Lyoto Machida, Renato “Babalu” Sobral, and Tim Boetsch.
Emanuel Newton, a native of Norwalk, California, possesses a mixed martial arts record of 9-3-1. After starting his career 2-3-1, Newton has reeled off six straight victories including a stoppage of BodogFight veteran Kyacey Uscola.
Also slated to appear on the September 26th card is five-time UFC veteran LaVerne Clark who’ll be going up against welterweight prospect Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford.
MFC 18: Famous is scheduled for Sept. 26, 2008 at the River Cree Casino and Resort in Edmonton, Alberta.

Im just glad pudgy ass no talent david heath is out of the big leagues, he never belonged there.
Look for an announcement within the coming week. The event will likely air on a different network as a one shot deal. The MFC is currently in negotiations with HDNet and hopes to be re-signed for MFC 19.
