Mark Pavelich, owner and president of the Maximum Fighting Championship, is pleased to announce the signing of FHM magazine model Elizabeth McLean to the position of spokesmodel for the MFC. “There is no question that Elizabeth is a beautiful woman but her role with the MFC goes far beyond just showcasing her beauty,” said Mr. Pavelich. “Elizabeth is going to be featured in our advertising campaigns including T.V. commercials, billboards and posters. She is going to have an important presence at our press conferences, weigh-ins and seminars and be a part of all of our charitable events.”

In FHM, Elizabeth has appeared on such pages as “20 Hot Dates,” “World Lingerie Tour,” and “Ladies Confidential” and she is currently among the contenders for Miss FHM 2006. Elizabeth, who will also be the MFC’s lead ring card girl on fight nights, is currently featured in FHM’s Australian edition.

“I am ecstatic about being signed by the MFC,” said Elizabeth, who is no stranger to the world of mixed martial arts having studied jiu jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing and wrestling.

“I haven’t accepted any signing deals with any other organizations or any modeling agencies because neither the organizations nor the timing were ever right. I believe that the MFC is different from other organizations. It is truly rooted in professional sport and it delivers what it promises.”

Elizabeth has taken a particular interest in working with the growing number of the MFC’s charitable endeavours.

“That is one thing that really touches my heart – that the MFC really cares about the community,” said Elizabeth. “I am extremely excited about the upcoming charity events and I want to encourage everyone to get involved with these events.”

In addition to her work with FHM, Elizabeth has previously appeared in such publications as UMM, IGN Entertainment, Supermodels Unlimited and Double XL. She has also worked on advertising campaigns for MAC Cosmetics, The Brick, Bad Girls Design, Keatley Clothing and Benson & Hedges.
