Andre Soukhamthath is more than ready to face fellow a fellow UFC veteran in a headline spot this weekend.
Soukhamthath fights Jose Quinonez in the main event of XFC 44 this Friday night. The card takes place at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa and will air on Fox Sports 2.
“The Asian Sensation” was successful in his first fight after parting ways with the UFC. In November, the 32-year-old Soukhamthath defeated Guilherme Faria in the main event of XFC 43, snapping a two-fight skid in the process.
Quinonez makes his first appearance since his tenure with the UFC came to an end following back-to-back stoppage losses to Sean O’Malley and Louis Smolka.

Shane Burgos has recalled the moment his body shut down after being knocked out by Edson Barboza at UFC 262 earlier this month.
After a back and forth two rounds, Barboza knocked out Burgos in the third round of their fight. The Brazilian would get the finish by landing an overhand right that Burgos seemed to absorb well, until moments later when he backpedalled and collapsed against the wall of the octagon.
Talking recently to MMA Fighting, Burgos explained that he remembers how the ending of the fight played out.
