As a lifelong practitioner and a fan of MMA, in 2019 Shawne Merriman has started collaboration with some of the most respected MMA promoters from Southern California to form Lights Out Xtreme Fighting (LXF) found at www.LightsoutXF.com

Focused on developing the next great stars of the sport, LXF offers mixed martial artists and former athletes alike an opportunity to put matters into their own hands—and without the need for helmets and shoulder pads.
