HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) Administrerende direktør Ed Soares meddelte i dag, at LFA er på vej tilbage til Arizona i oktober med et afgørende par i toppen af ​​LFA-weltervægtsdivisionen.

Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 24 vil byde på en eksplosiv weltervægtskrig mellem to af divisionens marquee-navne. Headlineren vil se den australske annihilator Matthew “Torden fra Down Under” Frincu står over for det sydlige Californien “Curtious” Curtis Millender. LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender finder sted Fredag, 13 oktober ved Comerica Teater i Phoenix, Arizona. Hele vigtigste kort vil blive tv-transmitteret direkte og landsdækkende på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“Jeg er spændt på at bringe LFA tilbage til Arizona videre 13 oktober,” Erklærede Soares. “Matthew Frincu har været sensationel i sine to første LFA-kampe. Han skal møde Curtis Millender, som specifikt bad om denne kamp. De vinder begge store sejre i LFA-hovednavne, der fandt sted med kun fire ugers mellemrum, og vinderen af ​​denne kamp vil afgive et kæmpe statement i toppen af ​​en af ​​vores dybeste divisioner.”
Billetter til LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender kan købes NU på ComericaTheatre.com.
Frincu (11-2) så utroligt ud i sin LFA-debut i slutningen af ​​februar i LFA 5. Den indfødte fra Gold Coast, Australien angreb Kris Hocum i femten minutter i en vildt underholdende opvisning af slående glans. Frincu underviste i en masterclass om, hvordan man effektivt udnytter rækkevidde og Muay Thai-teknik til at demontere en griber på højt niveau. Ti uger senere, Arizona Combat Sports repræsentant tilbød et lynkursus om samme emne, da han kun behøvede 96 sekunder for at stoppe den brasilianske kandidat Maycon Mendonça i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 11. Nu “Torden fra Down Under” ser ud til at slå til en tredje gang inde i LFA Octagon på LFA 24.
Millender (12-3), ligesom Frincu, kører også momentum af en fire-kamps sejrsrække på vej ind i deres opgør i LFA 24 hovednavn. Den indfødte fra Anaheim og tredobbelte Bellator-dyrlæge imponerede mange i sin LFA-debut i begyndelsen af ​​juni, da han opnåede en Unanimous Decision-sejr over Kevin Holland i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 13. Sejren hjalp “Curtious Curtis” høfligt minde verden om, hvorfor han stadig er et af Californiens bedste weltervægtstalenter. CSW-standouten ser nu ud til at tage sit show med på vejen, når han tager til Arizonas hovedstad for at kæmpe mod den bedste australske weltervægter i sporten i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 24.
Co-main event af LFA 24 vil byde på LFA-debuten af ​​den tidligere RFA bantamvægt titeludfordrer Joey “The Beast” Med Mio (9-2). Power MMA-produktet kæmpede om RFA tre gange, men det vil være første gang Miolla kommer til at kæmpe på AXS TV foran hans hjembys publikum i “Solens Dal”. Miolla var det eneste medlem af Team USA, der tjente en sejr mod Team Brasilien ved RFA 29. Han kæmpede derefter Leandro Higo om RFA bantamvægt-titlen ved RFA 37 i en kamp, ​​der blev vist på Dana White: Kig ind’ For En Kamp. Miollas sidste RFA-kamp fandt sted i fjervægt hos RFA 44, hvor han hentede en submission-sejr over T.J. Brown.
Manden, der ønsker at ødelægge Miollas hjemkomst, er den samme mand, som skulle møde Miolla tidligere på året, før en skade forsinkede deres uundgåelige konfrontation. Det ville være en anden RFA-standout Vinicius “Don” Jeg ved (10-4). Den brasilianske Muay Thai-ophugningsmaskine gjorde et stort første indtryk i sin RFA-debut, da han dominerede Joe Murphy i den co-main event i RFA 38. At Bout, ligesom Miollas titelkamp ved RFA 37, skete med UFC-præsident Dana White, der sad i buret og filmede sit populære reality-tv-show Dana White: Kig ind’ For En Kamp. Miolla og Zani vil nu minde UFC-chefen om, hvem de er med en klar og afgørende sejr i LFA 24.
I øjeblikket annonceret Main Card (Tv-transmitteret på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT):
Main Event | Weltervægt Bout (170 lbs)
– Matthew Frincu (11-2) vs. Curtis Millender (12-3)
Co-Main Event | Bantamvægt Bout (135 lbs)
– Joey Miolla (9-2) vs. Vinicius Zani (10-4)

(L-R) – Callum Smith & Erik Skoglund
Smith (22-0, 17 KOS), fighting at home in Liverpool, is rated No. 8 by The Ring magazine. He is a former WBC Silver and European super middleweight champion who is a rising star.
“A ring is a ring no matter where it is, but course, I’m happy to be fighting in Liverpool,” Smith admitted. “This is my home and this is where all my best performances as a professional have been. I like fighting in Liverpool, and with the crowd behind me, I will have an added advantage.
“There are no easy fights in this tournament. It’s the best fighting the best, but I believe I made the right decision (choosing Skoglund) i Monte Carlo (at the WBSS Draft Gala). That’s not to say Skoglund is not a good fighter. I think he is a very good fighter. His record speaks for itself, but I think stylistically, he was the right choice for me.
“It’ll be a tough test. På papiret, Skoglund is probably the best fighter I’ve ever faced, and I will need to be at my best to beat him. But every time I’ve been up against it in my career, and every time there’s been that fear factor, it’s brought out the best in me and I’m hoping for the sameLørdag.”
Skoglund (26-0, 12 KOS) was ranked by all four major sanctioning bodies as a light heavyweight before moving down in weight to compete in the WBSS as a super middleweight. The 26-year-old Swede has been the IBO, WBA International and European champion.
“This is a huge opportunity for me to prove myself at the highest level,” Skoglund said. “Callum Smith is a top-level fighter and one of the tournament favorites. This is what the World Boxing Super Series is all about – den bedste kæmper den bedste! That’s why I entered and that is why I’m really looking forward to this fight.
“For mig, it’s no problem fighting in Liverpool. Selvfølgelig, I am always thankful for the opportunity to fight in front of my fans in Sweden, but I’m happy not having that pressure on my shoulders for this fight and I will enjoy being the underdog for once.”
The inaugural season of the World Boxing Super Series features two weight classes (cruiserweight & super mellemvægt), 16 krigere, and a total of 14 main events. An expert panel invited the world’s best boxers to compete, namely the top 15-ranked fighters of the four major federations: WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO.

Turning her sights on professional boxing, she is now looking to win a world title in the pros and looking to settle the score with her amateur arch rival Nicole Adams.
“My goal is to become a world champion in all the major sanctioning bodies and be recognized as one of the best boxers in the world,” said Savelyeva. “Signing with Salita Promotions will progress my career and open doors for me to help me reach my goals.

UFC STAR’S WIFE IN DOUBLE MMA DEBUT ON NOVEMBER 3RD IN PORTLAND

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Portland, Maine (September 12, 2017) -New England Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland on Fredag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Carol Linn Powell (0-0) er planlagt til at tage fat Francesca Morabito (0-0) in a women’s bantamweight contest.

Carol Linn is the wife of former NEF Lightweight Champion, og nuværende UFC-fighter, Devin Powell (8-3). Devin earned a contract with the UFC after impressing the company’s president, Dana White, on his web series Dana White: Kig ind’ for a Fight at an event promoted by NEF in Bangor, Maine last year. Sammen, the Powells own and operate Nostos MMA & Conditioning Facility in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Sidste måned, they were awarded the “Best Martial Arts Gym” ved “2017 Best of the Seacoast” awards.

“Fighting has been something I’ve fantasized about for a few years and now that it is finally happening, I couldn’t be more excited,” said Carol Linn when reached for comment. “I was supposed to have my first fight in June and it ended up falling through, and I think this fight is a much better match up and is in one of my very favorite towns. Francesca and I have trained together a few times and we were really excited to be a part of each other’s camps, but after realizing what a good matchup we are, we decided to put our friendship aside and both get in there for our first fights. We are very similar, and I’m excited to put a great show on for everyone.”

“I am very excited for my wife to make her debut,” noted Devin. “She’s been around the sport for almost half a decade, but is just recently getting into hard training and the competitive aspect of it. I never told her to fight or said I thought she should. She was very independent in this choice and when somebody chooses to do something on their own and they commit all of themselves to it, I think that is a great equation for a successful person in anything they do. She is going to find out a lot about herself on the 3rd. Happy to have a cage-side seat for it.”

Francesca Morabito trains at the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine. Her true passion lies in her work with non-profit organization Speak About It. Morabito has toured the world as a theatre artist with the Portland-based group, educating high school and college students on affirmative consent, healthy relationships, and sexual assault prevention.

“It is such an honor to make my debut just a couple blocks from where I’ve been training for the past two years,” said Morabito. “I’m elated to fight in my hometown – on the same street where I’ve trudged home on countless Maine winter nights, with my gym bag slung over my shoulder and my wet hair freezing solid underneath my Choi hoodie. My time has come. And I came to win.”

NEF næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Fredag, November 3, 2017. Billetter er til salg nu på www.auramaine.com.
