Bruce’s next fight will be the main event in the XFC’s April 25th event, Regional Conflict,  in Knoxville, TN.

Bruce is taking on a new challenge and dialing in the crosshairs on Jarrod Card in this XFC title fight.  The event will be televised live nationwide, exclusively on HDNet.  In a recent press release, XFC founder John Prisco commented that “Connors versus Card is a matchup that industry insiders are just salivating over, and its one of the most compelling fights that the XFC has ever had the privelege of promoting.”

Connors, already a Cage Warriors Feather Weight title belt holder, looks forward to the accomplishment of acquiring a second belt and will be proud to show it off alongside his Cage Warriors Title.
