Wednesday, September 1, 2010



By FCF Staff     X-1 World Events has confirmed the final card for the promotion’s upcoming “Heroes” event, which will take place September 11th at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. The card will be headlined by a middleweight title fight between champion Falaniko Vitale (pictured left) and challenger Kala “Kolohe” Hose, and will also feature second round action from the promotion’s light-heavyweight tournament.

Vitale (27-9) is coming off a first round submission victory over UFC veteran Kalib Starnes, which took place at X-1’s “Champions” event in March. The veteran is 3-2 in his last five fights, with losses coming against notable opposition in Frank Trigg and Trevor Prangley.

Hose (7-3) hasn’t competed since last April, when he was tapped out by Jason “Mayhem” Miller while competing on a Kingdom MMA event. The Elite XC veteran is 3-2 in his last five fights and has a TKO win over veteran Phil Baroni during that stretch.
