XFC announces November relaunch, agreement with NBC Sports

For the first time in over four years, Xtreme Fighting Championships is set to put on an event with a new television partner in place.

In a press release, XFC announced an agreement with NBC Sports to air events in the U.S. beginning with the promotion’s relaunch set for Nov. 11 in Atlanta, Ga. at 9 p.m. EST.

XFC returns under new ownership led by CEO Steve Smith, a former employee of WWE, longtime promotional president Myron Molotky, along with other former executives from WWE and the XFL.

The fight nights, which will take place in the hexagon, will feature bouts from three competition brackets; Young Guns (up-and-coming fighters), Tournament Series (bracket-format fights leading to a weight class champion) and Super Fights (highest-profile and most-established fighters), according to promotion officials.
