Featherweight prospect signs with XFC

One of Florida’s top featherweight prospects has officially signed the dotted line with XFC.  Troy Gerhart is the newest member of the promotion, and considering that XFC recently crowned a featherweight champion, Gerhart gets thrown straight into the promotions title picture.

He holds a 6-2 professional record, winning five times by knockout.  Gerhart is familiar with the big stage as he has fought twice with Bellator, and he has even fought once before with XFC back in 2008.
