Xtreme Caged Combat – XCC 24 Recap from Bethlehem, PA
Xtreme Caged Combat hosted XCC 24 at the beautiful Sands Casino in Bethleham, PA, Saturday, April 30.
This card featured some of the top featherweight talent outside of the UFC competing in a four-man tournament featuring Artur Rofi (6-1) taking on Francisco Isata (7-2), as well as Alexandre Bezerra (17-4) facing Frank Caraballo (14-8) in the first round bracket.
American Top Team showed up in numbers with Kris “The Badger” Gratalo looked to stay undefeated in his second professional fight. Other ATT members, Ronnie Lavigne, Leonardo Da Silva and Josh Henninger also represented the ATT flag.
Another notable fighter on the card, Lex Ludlow whom had a promising amateur career going 5-2 made the jump to the professional rankings. Ludlow won the XCC middleweight title in February and that was enough for him to make the big leap as he took on Stephfond Ewins in his professional debut. I interviewed him earlier this week to talk about the upcoming fight. Listen here.
