Debuting Prospect Aiden Hamilton Set to Meet XFA Veteran Anakin Moreland at XFA LIVE 04

Cookeville, TN - Xtreme Fighting Alliance (XFA) returns to Cookeville on November 21st for XFA LIVE 04, and the card continues to heat up with the addition of an intriguing amateur bantamweight matchup. Debut fighter Aiden Hamilton of Renzo Gracie Nashville steps into the cage for the first time as he takes on XFA veteran Anakin Moreland, an independent fighter hungry for redemption.

Hamilton, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt, enters the XFA cage with a strong grappling pedigree and a history of success in multiple regional grappling tournaments. Known for his positional control, patience, and submission-focused style, he represents one of Tennessee’s most respected academies — Renzo Gracie Nashville. Though this will be his first MMA bout, Hamilton’s mat experience and technical composure have made him a highly anticipated addition to the XFA amateur division.

Across from him stands Anakin Moreland, a familiar face to XFA fans. Sitting at 0-2, both of Moreland’s bouts have taken place inside the XFA cage, and he’s shown flashes of toughness, heart, and raw potential each time out. Moreland has never backed down from a challenge, taking on difficult stylistic matchups early in his amateur career — a willingness that speaks volumes about his determination. Now, heading into his third XFA appearance, Moreland is focused, experienced, and ready to show that his record doesn’t tell the full story.

This fight brings together two very different types of prospects:

• The disciplined technician — Hamilton, whose grappling acumen could pose serious problems on the ground.
• The battle-tested striker — Moreland, who has spent valuable time inside the XFA cage and brings an aggressive, forward-pressure style.

With Hamilton looking to make a statement in his debut and Moreland hunting for his first amateur victory, fans can expect a fast-paced, high-stakes matchup that could reshape the landscape of XFA’s bantamweight division.

XFA LIVE 04 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting mixed martial arts events in Tennessee this year. Fans in attendance — as well as those watching worldwide on Combat Sports Now — won’t want to miss this pivotal amateur showdown.
