Local MMA fans asked for it, and John Prisco has obliged: XFC is returning to Knoxville, Tennessee on February 10 with XFC 16: High Stakes! The fight event will be aired LIVE on HDNet.

Main Event – Live Card
Drew Fickett vs. Jamie Varner
Opening Bout on Hdnet – Live Card
Dustin West vs. Stoney Hale
Undercard
First up: Shane Machette (1-1-0), a local pro-fighter from Team Brawler University known for his superb takedowns and submissions (he won 5 of his 6 ammy wins via submission,) will face Tyler "Melee" Minton (3-0-0), another local favorite from Team Oxindine, who will be making his XFC debut at 180lbs.
Next we have Devan Plaisance (5-6-0) a pro-fighter from Hard Knox Combat Club, whose background in Issinryu, kickboxing, boxing and BJJ will serve him well in his fight against Drew Kennedy (3-0-0) of Team Kaos (just think: black and yellow, black and yellow...) at 178lbs. Kennedy has fought for numerous local promotions, including ACF, 3FC and BlackEye Promotions in North Carolina.
Local MMA fans will be happy to see Scott "Hot Sauce" Holtzman (4-0-0), who recently fought and WON in Thailand via a KO in the 3rd round by knee (against a local Thai fighter, no less!) fight Brandon Demastes (5-3-0) out of W. Virginia, fighting at 155lbs.
Finally, if you haven't seen him fight yet, you'll enjoy the headstrong toughness-in-action called Chris Wright (5-1-1), from Knoxville Martial Arts Academy (KMAA), who local fans will remember fought and defeated another local favorite, Jay Meneghello, via TKO in a stunning 3rd round victory. Wright's team mates include Strikeforce fighter Ovince St. Preux, and UFC fighter Rafaello "Tractor" Oliviera, so he has no shortage of ring-experienced training partners! Wright will face Len Cooke (1-0-0), a new pro-fighter who recently fought against long-time local favorite Timm Kitts and won in a shocking arm lock in just 2:38 sec's of Round 1. This fight will be at 130lbs.
