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. |
