XKO 15 OFFICIAL FIGHT CARD  – UPDATED (Card Subject to Change)

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 2^nd 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

205lbs UFC VETERAN JAKE ROSHOLT (12-3) Team Takedown fighter vs MATTHEW THOMPSON 6’5 (16-9) This is a highly anticipated matchup between Jake Rosholt a 3X Div. 1 Champion at OSU and 4 time All American with victories over some of the top fighters in MMA including UFC standout Chris Leben. He faces XKO newcomer and MMA standout the 6’5 Matthew Thompson. Thompson has faced some tough opponents including UFC Veteran Ben Rothwell and MMA standout Justin Wren. Both fighters are at the top of their game, this promises to bring fireworks! 

185lbs CHRIS FEIST (3-0) Team Takedown Fighter vs JOSH STRAHAN (2-1) Chris Feist makes his return to the XKO cage with a perfect record and 2 of his victories in XKO. As Feist looks to become one of the top 170lbs fighters in XKO he must first face XKO newcomer Josh Strahan. Strahan’s two victories came with dominating ground and pound and finishing in TKO’s.  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. 

170lbs ROY SPOON  (7-4) vs HAYWARD “The Hybrid” CHARLES (4-4 The Gym and Genesis) It’s hard to describe the excitement for this fight! Both Roy Spoon and Hayward Charles are some of the most well known fighters in the area with a reputation for dominating fights! Roy Spoon has never backed down from a fight in XKO and is considered to be one of the strongest fighters in the division.   He steps into the cage against one of the top fighters in XKO – Hayward “The Hybrid” Charles! Hayward is coming off an impressive fight with Brad Cox and looks to get “Fight of the Night” honors. 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 

145lbs CHAS SKELLY (7-0) Team Takedown Fighter vs JEREMY MYERS (5-5) Chas Skelly made his professional debut at XKO with an impressive submission win. Since then he has fought 6 more times which includes a win in Bellator most all victories by submission. This is Skelly’s first fight back in over a year and looks to move to 8-0. He will be taking on a 145lb fighter that will challenge anyone in the cage.  Jeremy Myers is an impressive fighter that also has fought in Bellator. Jeremy has taken more than half of his opponents to a decision as well as had a solid amateur career with an 11-2 record before turning pro. Jeremy has fought some of the most talented fighters in the division. With his opponents combined record of over 50 wins and under 15 loses he is used to taking on the best. You can expect this fight to be an exciting match-up and could be fight of the night! 

195lbs JOSH FOSTER (5-3) vs TBA Josh is coming off a huge main event victory over the talented JJ Holmes. Foster is well known for his striking and never being knocked out or down in a fight. Look for a “Knockout of the Night” award winner in this match-up! 

185lbs ZACK BOARD (0-1) vs DUSTIN ADAMS (0-1) American Revolution Corpus Christi. This will be a fast paced fight for the fight fan and a good matchup that will not disappoint. Zack Board is making his return to the cage after almost a two year layoff from the sport. Zack’s pro-debut was a fight to remember as he battled a dominating wrestler who had no quit in him. Zack is looking to stand and strike with someone so XKO matched him with XKO 12’s “Fight of the Night” recipient Dustin Adams. With training partners like top XKO fighter Chris Pecero, Dustin is comfortable keeping this fight on his feet! Both fighters were happy with this fight and will promise to put on a great show! Look for another “Fight of the Night” nominee! 

135lbs  SIDNEY CAWDREY(Pro-debut Texas Fighting Syndicate) vs KLAYTON MAI (2-0 pro Octagon MMA) Training out of Texas Fighting Syndicate Sidney Cawdrey has the training partners and coaches to step up to anyone In the cage. After having 4 amateur fights Cawdrey is ready to make his pro-debut. He will be facing Octagon MMA’s Klayton Mai. Klayton’s first fight in XKO he took down highly skilled Casey Hudson by submitting him in the 3^rd round! Klayton trains out of Octagon MMA who’s fight team is no stranger to XKO, competing in almost every event! 

145lbs CASEY HUDSON (0-1) vs JOSEPH “THE BLACK ROOSTER” SALAS (1-1) Casey Hudson makes his return off what was a very impressive pro debut at XKO 14. Casey is taking on a very talented striker in this fight as he faces Joseph Salas. With Casey known for his wrestling style and Salas known for his “hands” this fight will be your classic “Striker vs Wrestler” match-up that will not disappoint.

JH: After I lost my senior match, I wasn’t sure I still wanted to wrestle, but I knew I was still young enough to compete. I said to myself ‘Man, what am I going to do with my life?…I prayed about it, and a week within praying my manager called me. He was like, ‘Hey, would you like to be an MMA fighter?….  READ MORE
