After a successful debut on March 22nd, the Xtreme Fighting Association (XFA) will once again present a night of action-packed full-contact, stand-up fighting in Las Vegas at the Cox Pavilion, on May 31.
The fighting style of XFA resembles K-1 minus the tournament format. Fighters will use hand, foot, leg and knee strikes - essentially the stand-up portion of mixed martial arts (MMA).
For the main event, the May 31 card pits veteran MMA fighter Vernon White (UFC) against veteran Muay Thai fighter and Las Vegas local Anthony "The Hitman" Brown. White has built an impressive career taking on major names such as Chuck Liddell and K-1 fighter Remy Bonjasky. Brown holds the MTIA World Title and is also a champion of bare knuckle fighting in Thailand.
In women's fight action, crafty fighter Amy Davis will take on Vanessa Aliling who trains in Plano, TX with legendary trainer Saekson Janjira. In their last match in December 2006, Davis pulled off the win after a grueling battle. Aliling, who thought she won that match, is ready to settle matters once and for all. The show will also feature two other female fights including Miriam Nakamoto vs. Keri "The Bone Crusher" Scarr as well as Muay Thai fighter Catia Vitoria vs. MMA fighter Jaime Lynn Welsh.
Also on the card:
• Joshua Hancock vs. Shawn Yarborough
• Mark Beecher vs. Mark Holst
• Travis Garlits vs. Kevin Ross
• David Michael Smith vs. Marcelino Menchaca
• Doug Edwards vs. Jack Thames
Apart from the non-stop action in the ring, the XFA brings to the table an impressive broadcast team including ring announcer Sonny Franco, lead commentator Lisa "The Black Widow" King, color commentator Gary Alexander, and celebrity interviewer Dave Farra.
