Last night was another crowded Friday night of mixed martial arts, with Bellator 83, TUF 16 and XFC 21: Night of Champions 2 on AXS TV. The final XFC card of 2012 was headlined by a lightweight title fight between Eric Reynolds and one of the best stories to come out of MMA in 2012, Nick Newell. The one-armed fighter rightfully garnered the bulk of the media coverage leading up to the event, but XFC 21 was a complete fight card.
Friday night’s XFC 18 was part of the MMA fans sensory overload that saw three events going on at nearly the same time. Starting after the other two events had already been going; XFC 18 aired its seven bout main card live on HDNet from the Nashville Municiple Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.
With just over a month before XFC 18, the promotion has added a Featured Female bout between Heather Jo Clark and Sofia Bagherdai. The 120 lbs. bout will appear on the night’s main card, which can be seen live on HDNet on June 22nd.
