Last night’s XFC 19 took place at Charlotte’s Grady Cole Center with a main event put together just days before fight night. Just days ago the XFC 19 main event was scheduled as Corey Hill vs. Mike Bronzoulis but last night’s headliner ended up being Roger Carroll vs. Nicolae Cury.
The August 3rd XFC 19: Charlotte Showdown was originally scheduled to be headlined by welterweights Corey Hill and Jason South. This past week XFC president got word that South withdrew from the fight due to personal reasons and the hunt for a replacement was underway. It didn’t take long though as legacy FC veteran Mike Bronzoulis has been tabbed as Hill’s new opponent at XFC 19.
Just months after making his XFC debut, Corey Hill has come to terms with the East Coast MMA promotion on a long-term contract. It’s a deal that could possibly give Hill a future title shot with the Xtreme Fighting Championships. John Prisco, XFC President & matchmaker, who has added numerous fighters to the roster already in 2012, disclosed the signing early this morning.
Another solid card on HDNet tonight with XFC 15: Tribute from the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida. With inspirational stories and fighters on the comeback, XFC 15 had a little bit of everything for the fans in attendance and watching in high-definition.
