Noble loses in Canada; McKee 1st MFC Lightweight Champ

Minnesota lightweight Derrick Noble (23-12-1) fought IFL veteran Derrick McKee at MFC 20 in Edmonton losing a unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout 49-46 for McKee, who used his superior wrestling skills to get takedowns and do enough work on the ground to win four of the five rounds.

McKee (23-3-2), who has victories over Delson Heleno, Mike Dolce, Marcus Aurilio, and Edwin Dewees is the first ever MFC Lightweight Champion.
