Brandon Selvy Replaces RJ Hayes in Main Event of XFA 01 Against Ron Fields This Saturday in Crossville

CROSSVILLE, TN — Fight fans in Crossville are in for a heavyweight showdown this Saturday, April 26th, as Street Beefs veteran Brandon Selvy steps up on short notice to replace RJ Hayes in the Main Event of XFA 01.  The action takes place at the National Guard Armory and marks the first Xtreme Fighting Alliance (XFA) event of 2025 in Crossville, TN.

Originally slated to face Ron “Killing” Fields, RJ Hayes pulled from the card on Tuesday morning following a string of excuses and his refusal to submit mandatory bloodwork to the Tennessee Athletic Commission. With Hayes out, the XFA moved quickly to secure a worthy opponent for Fields.

Enter Brandon Selvy.

No stranger to gritty matchups and stepping up when it counts, Selvy brings his tough-as-nails Street Beefs pedigree to the cage in what promises to be a hard-hitting Heavyweight Exhibition MMA bout.

Ron Fields, a respected veteran of the sport and the head MMA coach at Crossville MMA, now finds himself preparing for a completely different challenge just days out from the fight. With nearly 70 professional bouts under his belt and a resume that includes Strikeforce and King of the Cage, Fields is no stranger to adversity—or to putting on a show for his hometown crowd.

This event marks the third XFA event in Crossville, with two successful shows held in 2024. Saturday night promises to be a showcase of heart, grit, and high-level action that Crossville MMA fans have come to expect.

The main event bout between Ron Fields and Brandon Selvy is proudly sponsored by MI Aesthetics, a continued supporter of local combat sports and athlete development.
