Crossville, TN — The National Guard Armory in Crossville, Tennessee played host to an electrifying night of combat sports as Xtreme Fighting Alliance (XFA) returned with XFA 01, the promotion’s third live event in Crossville and its first inside of the National Guard Armory.

Sells, who holds a 3-0 record in boxing but had not trained seriously in recent years, made his long-awaited return to action under the Crossville MMA banner. Across the ring stood Mills, a gritty and determined competitor with an 0-2 record in MMA, stepping into boxing for the first time in his combat sports career.

Despite the odds and limited preparation, both men showcased heart, grit, and a willingness to throw down, delivering a back-and-forth battle that stunned fans. Sells relied on sharp fundamentals and ring awareness, while Mills brought relentless pressure and a fearless approach that made for an evenly matched contest throughout.
Although the bout was officially an exhibition and did not go on either fighter’s record, it quickly became one of the most talked-about fights of the night. Fans in attendance praised both men for their courage and performance, especially given the short-notice nature of the matchup.

XFA 01 marks the continuation of XFA's strong presence in Crossville, following two successful events in 2024. With a growing fan base and a commitment to spotlighting both established athletes and up-and-coming talent, XFA continues to be a proving ground for fighters in the region.
