Cookeville Showdown: Moreland and Richardson Ready to Throw Down at XFA LIVE 04

Cookeville, TN - The big men are coming to throw leather at XFA LIVE 04, and fight fans in Cookeville are in for a treat. The rapidly growing Xtreme Fighting Alliance amateur super heavyweight division takes center stage as Adam Moreland of Rockwood, TN, returns to the cage to face Ryan Richardson of Louisville, KY, in a can’t-miss showdown between two heavy hitters.

Moreland (1-1) has quickly made a name for himself as one of XFA’s most aggressive and entertaining fighters. After debuting in August at XFA 02, Moreland stormed out of the gate with a first-round finish. He then returned in September at XFA 03, where he suffered a quick loss to Nick Barger in the opening round—but true to form, he’s coming back with something to prove. Known for his fearless forward pressure and willingness to trade, Moreland has yet to see a second round inside the XFA cage.

His opponent, Ryan Richardson (1-0), makes his long-awaited return to competition and his XFA debut. Fighting out of Harden County Martial Arts in Louisville, Richardson hasn’t fought since 2022, when he earned a hard-fought decision win under the B2 Fighting Series banner. With a strong striking background and polished technique, Richardson brings veteran composure and crisp stand-up skills to challenge Moreland’s raw aggression.

Fans can expect fireworks when these two super heavyweights square off. Both men love to strike, both come forward, and both are eager to make a statement in a division that’s rapidly gaining depth and attention inside XFA.

The Revolver of Cookeville has become one of the home venues for the Xtreme Fighting Alliance, and it’s the perfect stage for a clash of titans that promises highlight-reel action.
