XFO has had to move their December show to November due to a scheduling conflict, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to deliver some fantastic local fights. Four fights have been announced for the event with more to come.

XFO 46 takes place on Saturday, November 17th at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Tickets start at just $25 (plus fees) and can be purchased at http://www.localmmatickets.com/get-tickets/2314.html

Fights announced already include Miodrag Petkovic versus Adam Maciejewski, Andre Feliciano versus Phil Williams, Joey Diehl vs Jerald Williams, and Charlie Radke taking on Mike Sanchez.

Diehl is coming off a loss to Josh Killion at XFO 43. The Team Curran flyweight fighter had compiled a two-fight win streak at the weight class before being submitted by the Ohio based fighter. Williams comes into the fight after defeating Diehl’s teammate Phil Williams at XFO 44. It was a hard fought three round battle, but Jerald Williams walked away with the split decision.

Feliciano hasn’t fought since April where he earned a unanimous decision over Jerald Williams in his pro debut. He was originally scheduled to fight Phil Williams at the event, but an injury forced the opponent change. Williams brings a 2-1 record into the fight that will be contested at a catchweight of 140lbs.

Radtke is making his professional debut after having a successful amateur career. His opponent trains under UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell and recently lost to Mike Cannon at Rumble at the resort.

Heavyweights Maciejewski and Petkovic will no doubt look to throw some serious leather at each other. Maciejewski, a Midwest Training Center fighter, returns after a three year layoff. Petkovic has been in a number of wars with over fifty professional fights.
