Shawne Merriman’s Lights out Xtreme Fighting 5 to Stream Live on fubo Sports Network on August 7

Southern California’s Premier MMA Organization Returns with a Vengeance LIVE from The Commerce Casino In Los Angeles, California

fubo Sports Network:

WHAT:

When Lights Out Xtreme Fighting (LXF) returns for its fifth installment, Southern California’s premier MMA organization will mark its comeback for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic globally stalled sports. On Saturday, August 7, a jam-packed card is slated to broadcast live from the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, California on Fubo Sports Network (www.fubosportsnetwork.com).

 

Former San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl Linebacker Shawne Merriman launched LXF in 2019, due to his longtime fandom of mixed martial arts, for which he also trains himself. LXF 5 was originally slated for April 24, 2020, but the event had to be cancelled once the coronavirus spread around the world. After the recent reopening of California, Merriman and company strategically decided to safely bring back big-time cage combat.

 

WHEN:

Saturday, August 7 at 9:30 p.m.ET/6:30 p.m. PT

 

WHO:

Headlining the competition will be a scintillating lightweight scrap between Erick “The Ghost Pepper” Gonzalez (13-5) and Samuel “The Alley Cat” Alvarez (5-3).

 

The co-main event: Leon Shahbazyan (7-2), the older brother of UFC prospect Edmen Shahbazyan, will take on Moses Murrietta (8-5) in a middleweight match.

 

Additional bouts on the stacked card will include:

 

  • 2016 Armenian Olympian wrestler Maksim Manukyan makes his professional MMA debut against Joseph Keith (1-1) in a welterweight match.
  • Former LXF title contender A.J. Bryant (11-5) will take on the battle-tested Sergio Quinones (13-23) in a 150-pound catchweight clash.
  • Former LXF lightweight champion Dominic Clark (14-11) will meet Mike Segura (9-6) in a lightweight bout.
  • A pair of LXF veterans in Gilbert Nakatani (2-0) and Benji Gomez (9-14) will duke it out in a 130-pound catchweight battle.
  • Chris Padilla (9-4) makes his return to MMA after three years away looking to stop Devon Brock (6-4) and his two-fight winning streak in a lightweight attraction.
  • Arnold Jimenez (6-2) will ride a four-fight winning streak against Marcos Bonilla (4-6) in a featherweight fight.
