XVT, an MMA event in Costa Rica, held its fifth installment last Saturday, headlined by a lightweight title bout between France’s Ferrid Kheder and Brazil’s Hermes França.
The former WEC champion dropped a unanimous decision and has now amassed four losses in a row since returning to the cage after his exit from the UFC. Another former UFC fighter, John Gunderson, only needed the first round to submit Costa Rica’s Alejandro “Mandarina” Solano with a kimura.
