Dave Pavelich (Vice-President) Maximum Fighting Championship was a Canadian mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion based in Edmonton, Alberta.

MFC events were broadcast on The Fight Network, AXS TV (formerly HDnet) in North America and most recently TSN2.

In 2013, the Maximum Fighting Championship also announced that the organization would add a bantamweight with the debut bout taking place on May 19, 2013, at MFC 37: True Grit.

[4] MFC has featured notable fighters, such as Ryan Jimmo, Graham Spencer, Tom Watson and Douglas Lima, plus MMA veterans, such as Jason MacDonald, Thales Leites, Jay Silva, Trevor Prangley, and Paul Daley.

Fighters must use approved light-weight open-fingered gloves, that include at least 1" of padding around the knuckles, (110 to 170 g / 4 to 6 ounces) that allow fingers to grab.

These gloves enable fighters to punch with less risk of an injured or broken hand, while retaining the ability to grab and grapple.

Matches usually end via: Note: In the event of a draw, it is not necessary that the fighters' total points be equal.

However, in a unanimous or split draw, each fighter does score an equal number of win judgments from the three judges (0 or 1, respectively).
