DALLAS (July 1, 2011) The Maximum Fighting Championship and HDNet are proud to announce a new five-year broadcast agreement. The deal cements the MFC’s status as HDNet’s premiere mixed martial arts promotional partner.

“The Maximum Fighting Championship is thrilled to continue its terrific partnership with HDNet and to be working alongside such an amazingly talented cast and crew,” said Mark Pavelich, Owner/President of the MFC. “Working with Michael Schiavello, Frank Trigg and Ron Kruck has been amazing. I have seen such growth on both sides of this partnership and it’s amazing to think about where we can go over the course of another five years. “

Pavelich formally announced the deal tonight on HDNet’s “Inside MMA.” The partnership retains the MFC’s status as the only Canadian-based promotion with a live television package for its fans.
