KEITH MINER FIGHT – ONE HANDED FIGHTER RETURNS TO MAKE AN IMPACT AT XKO 155lbs ARMANDO “THE LATIN ASSASSIN” SERVIN (1-1) vs KEITH MINER (5-3) There is so much we can say about the talent of these two fighters. Armando Servin became a key fighter in the 155lb division when he took Donnie Bell all the way to a decision in his pro debut. Armando is an exciting fighter that is strong and will go along way in the sport. He will face another fighter making his 2nd appearance in XKO – Keith Miner! On May 8th, 2000, Keith’s life was turned upside down when he was involved in a tragic work accident that would leave him permanently injured and change his life forever. On October 4th, 2008 Keith became the first amputee to fight professionally in MMA. He fought Clayton “Sunshine” Robinson in Freestyle Cage Fighting in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Keith went on to lose the fight in the 2nd round to a tough opponent, but walked away knowing that he had just competed at a professional level with just one-hand. Keith has overcome many things in his life including a tragic accident taking away his right hand but continues to improve to be the best MMA fighter at 155lbs. Both Keith and Armando didn’t hesitate when signing the contract for this fight. “I’m ready to do my part and put on an exciting fight and show” – Armando Servin

Strahan’s training partner is undefeated fighter Jay Jay Sanchez who just KO’d his opponent at XKO 14 in less than a minute. With Feist’s wrestling background and Strahan’s striking and power this should be a very exciting match-up.
