Tonight on The Joe Show we were joined by Antonio McKee who was told by the MFC that they were going to dock 20 percent of his purse and cut him win-or-lose in his next fight for missing weight against Brian Cobb at MFC 32.

A lot of information was left out from MFC so check out this interview to get all of the information.

Antonio McKee i very candid with us and expresses his views on Mark Pavelich and the future of the MFC in general.

Really crazy hearing that Cobb missed weight as well

and he isn’t in some ‘cut no matter what’ scenario

Did Cobb miss after knowing ahead of time that McKee would not make weight ? Or I wonder if Pavelich give cobb a option like Dana did to Vitor that he could stop cutting now not get 20% of the purse and make it a catch weight fight or he could continue to cut make weight on get the 20% and Cobb choose not to keep cutting ? Or did both fighers just miss on the scale together during the weigh in ?

I don't know

But in all honesty, I hope McKee wins here and goes on and has success wherever he ends up.

Asking a guy to fight and telling him he’ll be cut no matter what just feels like a low thing to do.

It’s different when Dana White says Johnson’s job is on the line win or lose…if Johnson had won impressively, he would have been let off the hook a little bit.

Missing weight by seven pounds

Earns you no sympathy in my book.

I just don't feel like it should be an automatic cut

I mean, miss weight and then lose, there is some fairly solid reasoning there. But just on the fact of missing weight? That’s a little extreme, in my book.
