Oct 17 MFL Weigh In Notes

Montreal, October 16th, 2009 – The Mixed Fight League wants to inform you about the results of its oficial weigh-ins that was held this afternoon at the Best Western Hotel, Brossard, Quebec.  It is in a friendly, but feverish atmosphere, inside an intimate and warm room, that the first shots of the MFL 1: The Beginning event were given as organizers, fighters, trainers, cornermen, media and amateurs were all gather for the first time.

Please note that Brian DaSilva called out less than 48 hours previous to the event due to an injury he suffered during his training camp.  Unable to find a replacement with such a short notice, the MFL had to cancel Sebastien Hamel’s appearance.   Also, following a decision of the athletic commission (RACJ), which refused to approve the fight opposing Yannick Galipeau to Patrick Tessier, this fight either had to be cancelled for administrative reasons.  Tom Murphy steps in as Yan Pellerin replacement to face Jason Cecil, after Pelletin withdrew because of health problems.
