Elvis Mutapcic continued his rise up the world rankings last night in Edmonton, Alberta, as the Bosnia born striker stopped TUF veteran Joseph Henle to win the Maximum Fighting Championship’s middleweight title.

Mutpacic became the first man to hand Henle (8-1-1) an official, professional loss after landing a hard kick to his knee in round three, which left the middleweight unable to continue.

With the win, Mutapcic (12-2) extended his win streak to four, which includes victories over veteran Jacen Flynn and recent TUF Brasil finalist, Cesar Ferreira.

Here are the official results from MFC 35.
