Travis Lutter edged hometown favorite Jason MacDonald on Friday in the main event of MFC 22, earning a unanimous decision win in the matchup of middleweight UFC veterans that capped off the HDNet-televised event at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Edmonton, Canada.

In other notable action, Antonio McKee topped Carlo Prated by unanimous decision in the MFC 22 co-main event, while John Alessio stopped Luigi Fioravanti with strikes in the third round of their featured bout.

Lightweight challenger Carlo Prater missed weight at Thursday’s weigh-ins for MFC 22, weighing in at 158-pounds for his 155-pound championship matchup against Antonio McKee. The bout, which co-headlines Friday’s HDNet-televised event at the River Cree Casino in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is now a three-round, non-title fight.

The rest of the 10-fight card, including headliners Jason MacDonald and Travis Lutter, successfully made weight.

The MFC 22 headlining bout will be match up between two top grapplers, as Jason MacDonald will look to topple Travis Lutter. Also on the card, Antonio McKee will take on Carlo Prater for the MFC lightweight belt, and Luigi Fioravanti will face John Alessio.

Headlining Arena Rumble is a match up between Jason Guida and Jeremy Horn. Other notables in action on the card include Trevor Prangley, Brad Imes, Terry Martin, and Lyle Beerbohm.
