Soukupova & Herrig

The#8 Unified ranked strawweight Felice Herrig is hoping to continue her winning ways as she takes on England’s Simona Soukupova at XFC 19 in Charlotte, NC Friday night on AXSTV (formerly HDNet). Both made it under the 116 weight allowance.

Herrig (6-4) is coming off an unanimous decision win over the #10 tanked Patricia Vidonic in April.

Soukupova (2-1) will be making her North American debut, having her first loss to Spain’s Karla Benitez by decision in August of last year.

The fight will serve as the co-main event of the evening. The card airs on AXSTV starting at 6 p.m. pst/9 p.m. est.
