XFC adds Eric Reynolds-Nick Newell to "Night of Champions"

XFC lightweight Eric ReynoldsA lightweight title fight will headline XFC 21. Bellator veteran Eric Reynolds will meet undefeated Nick Newell in the main event. "Night of Champions" takes place Dec. 7 at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Tennessee. The main card will air live on AXS TV.

Reynolds began his career with nine-straight victories. However, he has mostly scuffled when given opportunities. He went 1-2 with losses coming against Eddie Alvarez and Jorge Masvial during a three-fight Bellator stint in 2009. Recently, Reynolds has turned his career around. He is currently riding a three-fight winning streak under the XFC banner highlighted by a victory over fellow Bellator vet Lorenzo Borgomeo in his last outing.

Newell made his professional debut in 2009. The Fighting Arts Academy fighter has quickly built a 9-0 record despite the fact that he was born with a partially formed left arm. During his collegiate wrestling days, Newell roomed with professional wrestler Curt Hawkins. In his last fight, Newell bested David Mays with a first-round knee knockout.

Also at XFC 21, TUF veteran Corey Hill will take on Bellator veteran Ryan Thomas in a welterweight bout.
