Fubo Sports Network Will be Airing Lights Out Xtreme Fighting LXF5 Live
The fubo Sports Network is the new home of Lights Out Xtreme Fighting. Shawne Merriman spoke to MyMMANews days before the announcement when he talked about bringing back mixed martial arts to Southern California with LXF5 on August 7.
Merriman hinted at the news when he spoke about this being the first event since the COVID 19 pandemic halted operations and now, it’s official.
“Fubo TV! If you don’t have it now, get it,” Merriman said in a social media post that came not long after the official announcement.

Again, as Merriman pointed out in our interview with him. More news should be coming in the way of new signees. Some could be crossing over from other sports into MMA. This news coming at a time when the price of ESPN+ is rising and fans are starting to budget streaming options is welcome as it is one of the few, free options for live MMA.
Keep it locked on MyMMANews for those announcements.
