Shawne Merriman launches Lights Out Sports app

Shawne Merriman is taking the next step of growth for Lights Out Xtreme Fighting into his own hands.

Merriman, a retired NFL Pro Bowl linebacker, has launched his own Lights Out Sports app that will support live broadcasts for his budding MMA organization, starting with the next event on May 18 in Long Beach, Calif.

“It’s really big news and probably a milestone for us,” Merriman told MMA Junkie. “Lights Out Sports is my multisport streaming platform now that Lights Out Xtreme Fighting will be live. We’re still working with FuboTV … But for the most part, Lights Out Xtreme Fighting will be live on Lights Out Sports.”
