Would you be willing to offer a spot on the LXF roster? But right now it’s about promoting these guys and promoting Lights Out and making sure we’re expanding in the right direction.Īndrew: (Thursday) night, I don’t know if you saw the game between Pittsburgh and Cleveland…Īndrew: Myles Garrett got involved in an incident. If the opportunity is is big enough, and I think you named one of the names that would be big enough for me to go and take the cage, then I’ll ramp up training and I’ll get more into it. And the reason I haven’t stepped into the cage is, even though I like training with most of these guys three or four days a week, is because you do it or you don’t do it. Merriman: Look, for me obviously promoting Lights Out and promoting these guys is my number one job. Do you still have aspirations to fight in a ring or a cage next year? Earlier this year you called out Dave Bautista, former WWE star, to an MMA fight. And we hope we expand and keep going in the Fox family.Īndrew: Switching gears now, last year you were supposed to fight in a Bareknuckle Boxing fight…Īndrew: That fell through. We’ll see what happens but, you know, look, we’re gonna keep putting on great events and we love where we’re at. Now obviously our production is the best and the energy of the crowd and these fans bring each and every fight, it’s what’s going to help us propel to the next level.Īndrew: Will Fox Sports be in your long-term plans, or are they just in the short-term? And these fighters are gonna come out and do that. We just gotta keep putting on great shows and making great content. We just gotta keep knocking them out home, man. Has anything changed in the relationship with LXF and Fox Sports? And, look, we just want to be a premier league, you know? We want to be considered one of the best out there and we’re on our way.Īndrew: Recently Fox Sports’ regional networks were sold to Sinclair Broadcasting Group. It’s one thing that’s very important to us.
That’s the home you hope to be on and that these fighters get a chance to be seen. Obviously having a partner like Fox Sports in the first place really brings a different aspect of what we’re trying to do. They lay it out on the line and this is where some of the best talent in the world is.Īndrew: Your previous events aired on Fox Sports West and various regional Fox Sports networks, and they aired on tape delay. We love the fighters here, we love the local talent, we love showing love to these guys because they come out and give it their all. You know, obviously I spent most of my career playing with the Chargers, and this is our home. Shawne Merriman: No, we’re definitely looking to expand and we’ll make our way down to my old stomping grounds of San Diego. Do you have any plans of expanding LXF into different areas and venues or is that a one-time-only thing? The first two shows were here in Burbank, the last show was at Commerce Casino. We’re here moments before LXF 4 in Burbank, CA.
