Bantamweight Prospects Collide at XFA 02: Carter Allred vs. Lex Scott Set for August 15 in Knoxville

KNOXVILLE, TN -- Two hungry bantamweights are ready to clash under the bright lights of XFA 02 as Carter Allred of S.P.A.R. Martial Arts takes on Lex Scott of Knoxville Martial Arts Academy in an exciting amateur showdown. The bout will be part of XFA’s first-ever Pro/Am event, going down Thursday, August 15 at World’s Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.

Allred (0-1) made his amateur MMA debut in June at XFA Fight Night 5, showing grit and determination despite falling short in a hard-fought contest. Now, he returns with something to prove and a chip on his shoulder, aiming to secure his first victory in front of the Knoxville crowd.

Across the cage, Scott (1-1) steps into the XFA cage for the first time as an amateur mixed martial artist, but he’s no stranger to the promotion. Fans may remember Scott’s appearance at XFA Fight Night 5, where he competed in one of the night’s featured grappling matches. While he also dropped his most recent MMA bout outside the organization, Scott brings an experienced ground game and a well-rounded skillset to his XFA debut.

This matchup has all the ingredients of a classic: two young, motivated athletes from respected regional gyms, both looking to rebound and make a statement. With the stakes higher than ever in the bantamweight division, this could be a breakout performance for either fighter.

XFA 02 marks a major milestone for the Xtreme Fighting Alliance as it launches its first Pro/Am event, blending top-tier amateur talent with rising professionals on one electric card.
