“Returning to the San Diego area with LXF is something I’m so proud of,” says Shawne Merriman, founder of Lights Out Xtreme Fighting. “I brought the same attitude and dedication I had on the NFL field to the sport of MMA with Lights Out Xtreme Fighting. It feels like a full-circle moment to back, especially as we’re reaching more viewers than ever.”
