The Maximum Fighting Championship’s official weigh-in for MFC 28: Supremacy is taking a unique twist.
After numerous high-profile weigh-ins at West Edmonton Mall, City Centre Mall, and River Cree Resort and Casino, the MFC has decided to give back to the local community where the fight card is taking place. With that in mind, the official weigh-in for MFC 28 will take place at Kitaskinaw School on the Enoch Cree Nation beginning at 12:30 p.m. MT on Thursday, Feb. 24.

“I’m very excited to be bringing the weigh-in to the Kitaskinaw School as a special thank you to Chief Harry Sharphead of the Enoch Cree Nation who is a tremendous fan of the Maximum Fighting Championship and has shown our organization a great deal of respect and trust to be able to have our weigh ins at this fantastic school.” said MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich.
“It’s been awesome doing the weigh-ins in the past in front of huge crowds at the shopping centres but I think it’s going to be something very special to have the MFC fighters hit the scales in front a big group excited young students.
“Chief Sharphead continues to be a huge supporter of the MFC and we wanted to pay tribute to him plus also show the young people of the Enoch Cree Nation what truly dedicated athletes the MFC fighters. The students are not able to attend the show because it is in a casino but this is a super opportunity for them to see the fighters up close.”
