Coy called upon to face Lima

New welterweight clash set for MFC 32

With several injuries to contend with, the Maximum Fighting Championship has
made some swift and impressive changes to the lineup for MFC 32: Bitter
Rivals taking place on Friday, January 27.

Most notably, rising sensation Dhiego "Maluco" Lima, recently ranked as the
No. 2 welterweight prospect in the world by Bloody Elbow, has seen his
opponent change due to an injury suffered by original foe Bruno Carvalho.

Lima (6-0) will now take on Nathan "Soulforce" Coy (9-4) in a featured
matchup on the HDNet Fights live broadcast emanating from the Mayfield
Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta.

Coy, a former All-American wrestler while at Oregon State University, has
won four of his last six outings with three of those victories coming inside
the first round. He has a total of five first-round stoppages over the
course of his five-year career, and also holds notable decisions win over
Rick Story and Mike Pierce.

The 33-year-old, who is originally from Portland, Oregon, and now fights out
of Coconut Creek, Florida, has also tangled with notables Tyrone Woodley,
losing a narrow split-decision, and Brian Foster.

Another switch to the main card was necessitated when hometown product Mukai
Maromo suffered a broken finger in training. With Maromo sidelined, "Dirty"
Dan Ring (5-0-1) maintains his spot on the card and James Haddad (4-1) jumps
from the undercard to the televised card to battle Ring.

Haddad, who fights out of Calgary, Alberta, was slated to take on Curtis
"The Demon" Demarce on the undercard. Demarce (12-10) will now face a
soon-to-be named opponent. Ring, a Vancouver, B.C., product, moved into face
Maromo after "The African Assassin" was originally tabbed to fight Adam
Lynn.
