XKO 14 OFFICIAL FIGHT CARD (Card Subject to Change)

185lbs Ciprian Hangan (2-0 pro DallasMMA300- 2011 XKO "Knockout of the Year" winner) vs Jay Jay Sanchez (2-0 pro) This is a highly anticipated matchup between 2 of the fastest rising superstars in XKO! Ciprian Hangan has definitely made a HUGE impact in the 185 division with 2 devastating Knockouts (Steve Hess, Chris Collins) in his first 2 appearances in XKO! The man that plans on stopping Ciprian is Jay Jay Sanchez an undefeated fighter who is best known for the perfectly timed "Knee" to end the fight against top MMA fighter JJ Holmes! This is a fight you don't want to miss! "I knock people out, that's what I do" - Ciprian Hangan

155lbs Donnie Bell (3-1 pro Metroflex MMA) vs Keith Miner (4-2 pro Mohlers MMA) Donnie Bell makes his return to the XKO cage to face XKO newcomer Keith Miner. With a perfect record in XKO Bell is a crowd favorite! Bell is one of XKO's featured fighters with a strong wrestling background and knockout power!

180lbs Brad Cox (2-0 pro Mohlers MMA) vs Hayward "The Hybrid" Charles (3-2 pro Ironside/pur-fit and Genesis) It's hard to describe the excitement for this fight! Brad Cox is one of the most well known fighters in the area with a reputation for dominating fights! He steps into the cage against one of the top fighters in XKO - Hayward "The Hybrid" Charles! Hayward is coming off an impressive victory over XKO newcomer Andre Kavanaugh with a :43 sec triangle choke submission. Known for his Jiu Jitsu Hayward is arguably the best Jiu Jitsu specialist in the company! A great match-up that will bring fireworks! "I don't care who you put in front of me, I'll fight them because I want to be at the top" - Hayward Charles

170lbs Aaron Culpepper (1-0 pro The Gym Arlington, TX) vs Antuan Williams (0-2 pro) Aaron Culpepper's pro-debut at XKO 13 was what fight fans talked about for weeks after he got the victory and "Fight of the Night" honors! Aaron is a powerful striker, aggressive but yet calm in the cage! He takes on XKO newcomer Antuan Williams, a former training partner and current striking coach who knows the striking game and is not afraid to trade punches! You can expect this fight to be a striking battle with someone ending the fight with a KO or TKO!

170lbs Andrew Parker (1-0 pro Octagon MMA) vs Aldo Davila (pro-debut The Gym) Andrew Parker made his pro-debut at XKO and took "Fight of the Night" honors. Andrew is a well rounded fighter who can take the fight almost anywhere he wants. Parker will be taking on Aldo Devila an exciting fighter making his pro-debut! Also is coming off an impressive amateur career and looks to continue his success at the pro level! This has "Fight of the Night" written all over it!

135lbs Eli Tamez (3-0 pro Octagon MMA) vs Nelson Salas (2-0 pro Texas Fighting Syndicate) When XKO asked Eli and Nelson about this fight both fighters did not hesitate to sign the contract! This is not the first time the fighters have faced each other, both fighters crossed paths as amateurs with Eli getting the win by submission. Both Eli and Nelson are fast and explosive. This will be a fast paced fight for the fight fan and a good matchup that will not disappoint.

185lbs Victor Reyna (pro-debut The Gym) vs Andre Kavanaugh (2-2 pro Austin, TX) Andre Kavanaugh is known for is heavy hands and brawler type of style. With a split record Andre looks to get his first win in XKO. He will be taking on Victor Reyna a solid striker who can finish the fight at any given moment! Victor has only had 1 defeat as a amateur and believes he is ready for the pro level. We are excited to see new faces in XKO and see what happens in this fight!

150lbs Burt McDonald (1-2 pro Texas Fighting Syndicate) vs Johnathan Wise (1-2 pro Garland Police Boxing Gym) When it comes to Burt McDonald the first thing you think about is... "what a class act". Burt is a "Fight of the Night" recipient and has faced 2 of the top 155ers in the XKO division (Chris Pecero and Donnie Bell). Training out of Texas Fighting Syndicate Burt is well known in the MMA community! With a boxing background Burt wants to keep his fights striking! At XKO 14 Burt will match up with the perfect opponent with an identical record and fighting style. Johnathan Wise makes his XKO Debut out of Garland Police Boxing Academy and looks to make a statement against the XKO veteran McDonald. I see this fight going 3 rounds and possibly "Fight of the Night"!

145lbs Casey Hudson (Pro-debut Fitness Fight Factory) vs Klayton Mai (1-0 pro Octagon MMA) Both fighters are new to XKO! This fight will come down to pure skill. Both fighters are aggressive and strong. Fighting out the two top schools in DFW both fighters will come prepared! Don't blink during this fight because anything can happen!
