Cross (11-3) did what he needed to do to get the victory in his Dana White’s Contender Series, Season 4 appearance against Kevin Syler in August. However, he didn’t win in a manner that excited White enough to award him a UFC deal. Since then, Cross signed with the XFC and will debut on its relaunch card on Wednesday in Atlanta, XFC 43, against fellow lightweight Jarel Askew. For the time being, his UFC aspirations are paused – and he’s OK with that. “If I think about long-term goals, (mine) is to make enough money to support my family and myself and anything we want to do,” Cross told MMA Junkie Radio

Aguilar (20-8), a former WSOF strawweight champion, came into the UFC in 2015 with a lot of momentum but never quite lived up to her potential. She went 1-4 in the octagon, with her lone win coming over Jodie Esquibel, before getting released from the promotion in May 2019. But Aguilar, who holds notable wins over former UFC strawweight champ Carla Esparza and Megumi Fujii twice, still has more to give and is ready for a new chapter in her career with Xtreme Fighting Championships (XFC). A longtime American Top Team member, Aguilar recently relocated to Houston and has been training at Main Street Boxing and Muay Thai in preparation for her fight against fellow ex-UFC strawweight Danielle Taylor Wednesday in the co-main event of XFC 43.
