LFA alum shine at UFC Fight Night 126 in Austin, Texas

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy ສູ້ກັນພັນທະມິດ (LFA) and the two promotions that merged to create it, RFA and Legacy FC, were well-represented and shined on the biggest stage when the UFC traveled to the state capital of Texas ໃນວັນອາທິດ ໃນຕອນກາງຄືນ.
Nine former fighters competed, which included five former champions. This included former titleholders from LFA, RFA, and Legacy FC. The nine fighters included Derrick Lewis, Curtis Millender, Steven Peterson, Sage Northcutt, Diego Ferreira, Geoff Neal, Brian Camozzi, Roberto Sanchez, and Alex Morono. That group made up 37.5% of the entire card. Seven of the nine fighters were victorious, but that is because one of the fights pitted two of these fighters against each other. The other loss, resulted in a $50,000 “ການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງຕອນກາງຄືນໄດ້” bonus and also received widespread praise.
“I was excited to watch so many of the talented fighters from LFA, RFA, and Legacy do so well at UFC: Austinໃນວັນອາທິດ ໃນຕອນກາງຄືນ,” stated LFA CEO Ed Soares. “The goal of LFA is to develop top prospects, so when they get to the UFC, they will continue to impress under the bright lights of the UFC for years to come.”
ໃນກໍລະນີການຮ່ວມມືຕົ້ນຕໍຂອງການ, former Legacy FC heavyweight champion Derrick Lewis, who also fought for RFA, did what “The Black Beast” does best. The no-nonsense Texan unleashed his unforgiving power-punching in the third round to pick up the TKO, his tenth UFC win, while also picking up his fourth UFC bonus. This time it was a $50,000 UFC “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Millender made his UFC debut on the main card just one month after winning the main event of LFA 30. The win at LFA 30 was Millender’s third straight win in an LFA headliner and his second straight via Head Kick KO. The win earned him a UFC contract and a debut fight against a former UFC title challenger in Thiago Alves. This time around, he used a knee to score the walk-off KO. The impressive debut also earned Millender the other $50,000 UFC “Performance of the Night” bonus.
The main card also saw Northcutt, a former Legacy FC star, earn his fifth win inside the UFC Octagon, while former Legacy FC bantamweight champion and LFA standout Peterson earned a $50,000 UFC “ການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງຕອນກາງຄືນໄດ້” bonus for his wildly entertaining UFC debut, which took place in the featherweight division. Peterson’s UFC debut also earned him widespread praise from fans and fellow fighters alike. Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman was quick to tweet: “Peterson is my new favorite fighter!!”
Ferreira, a former Legacy FC lightweight champion, showed no signs of ring rust as he picked up a quick TKO win in less than two minutes into the final fight of the preliminary card. The win came after Ferreira made a come back to the sport after a two-year layoff. In the bout before Ferreira’s successful return, it was a battle of LFA / Legacy FC star Geoff Neal and former RFA welterweight champion Brian Camozzi. Neal made a big statement in his UFC debut and picked up the win via Rear Naked Choke.
Sanchez also picked up his first UFC win. The inaugural LFA flyweight champion earned a submission win via Rear Naked Choke less than two-minutes into the bout. Morono got things moving in the right direction for our LFA/RFA/Legacy FC alum, when the former Legacy FC welterweight champion submitted longtime UFC vet Josh Burkman via Guillotine Choke early in Round 1.
ໃນເດືອນກັນຍາ 2016, ຜແນກພາສາແລະ Legacy FC ພະນັກງານປະກາດວ່າພວກເຂົາເຈົ້າຈະໄດ້ຮັບການຮວມປະກອບ LFA. This new powerhouse promotion would serve as the premier developmental organization in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) ເລີ່ມໃນເດືອນມັງກອນ 2017. ຜແນກພາສາແລະ Legacy FC ໄດ້ເປີດວຽກເຮັດງານທໍາໃນໄລຍະການ 150 ນັກກິລາທີ່ໄດ້ບັນລຸຈຸດສຸດຍອດຂອງ MMA ໂດຍການແຂ່ງຂັນໃນ UFC.
LFA returns on ວັນສຸກ, 2 ມີນາ with LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins. The main event will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “ຕິດຕໍ່” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 contender ້ໍາຫນັກເບົາ Brandon “The Reel ຈຸດເດັ່ນຂອງມະນຸດ” Jenkins. The event will take place at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
LFA 34 ຈະເປັນຫ້າກໍລະນີ LFA ທີ່ຈະສະຖານທີ່ໃນສະຖານະຂອງຣັຖ Minnesota. ຜແນກພາສາແລະ Legacy FC ເປັນເຈົ້າພາບລວມເກົ້າເຫດການໃນ “ທີ່ດິນຂອງ 10,000 ທະເລສາບ” ກ່ອນທີ່ຈະຄວບລວມກິດຈະການ. ຫົກຂອງກິດຈະກໍາເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນໄດ້ຈັດຂຶ້ນພາຍໃຕ້ການປ້າຍໂຄສະນາ RFA ພາຍໃນ Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. ບັດຕົ້ນຕໍທັງຫມົດຂອງ LFA 34 ຈະໄດ້ຮັບການໂທລະພາບທີ່ມີຊີວິດແລະໃນທົ່ວປະເທດກ່ຽວກັບໂທລະພາບ AXS ທີ່ 9 p.m. ແລະ / 6 p.m. PT.

FNU ສະແດງກິລາການຕໍ່ສູ້: Is UFC Using Boxing as a Lifeline; CM Punk vs. Floyd?; Event Recaps and Previews
This week, ຂອບ, Tony and Rich start our weekly broadcast with a discussion on the latest news on Floyd Mayweather Jr. teasing the idea of fighting in the cage. Even though Rich has been talking about this match-up on our show for weeks now, a recent article described the idea of CM Punk facing Mayweather as a rumor started by the
“Money Team.” Either Mayweather’s listening to our show or great minds think alike. We also touch on the subject of why the UFC may need to diversify with the addition of boxing cards and special events. We also recap last week’s boxing action and a spectacular UFC 221 card headlined by Yoel Romero’s TKO of Luke Rockhold. We then look forward to Roy Nelson’s fight with Matt Mitrione, set to go down later tonight on the Paramount Network. ສຸດທ້າຍ, we preview UFC Fight Night 126, with a main event of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone facing Yancy Medeiros.

in CABAZON, CALIFORNIA
ປີ້ແມ່ນມີຂາຍແລ້ວ Ticketmaster.com
HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy ສູ້ກັນພັນທະມິດ (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to California in March with a bantamweight world title fight and a high-stakes featherweight war.
ກິດຈະກໍາຫລັກຂອງ LFA 36 will feature the return of LFA bantamweight champion Ricky Simon when he defends his title against LFA #1 bantamweight contender Vinicius “ດອນ” Zani. LFA 36 – Simon vs. Zani takes place ວັນສຸກ, March 23rd at the Morongo Outdoor Pavilion at the Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa in Cabazon, ຄາລິຟໍເນຍ. ບັດຕົ້ນຕໍຂອງການທັງຫມົດຈະໄດ້ຮັບການໂທລະພາບທີ່ມີຊີວິດແລະທົ່ວປະເທດກ່ຽວກັບໂທລະພາບຢູ່ໃນ AXS 10 p.m. ແລະ / 7 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to bring an LFA title fight to Coachella Valley at LFA 36”, ທີ່ໄດ້ກ່າວໄວ້ເຣສ. “This will be our third show in my home state of California. Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa is a beautiful 4-diamond establishment and we look forward to featuring our bantamweight world title fight at the world-class Morongo Outdoor Pavillion on March 23rd.”
Simon (11-1) returns tot he LFA Octagon after winning the vacant LFA bantamweight title in December in the main event of LFA 29. The fight served as the LFA’s final fight of 2017 and left fight fans and MMA pundits anxiously awaiting the next move of the wildly popular Pacific Northwesterner. Simon took home LFA gold by shutting down eight-time UFC vet Chico Camus with a bloody and dominant 5-round decision win. The title win stamped a career-year for the 25-year-old, which also saw him pick up a win a fight in front of UFC President Dana White on Week 5 of Dana White’s ວັນອັງຄານ Night Contender Series. Simon is now eager to defend his title instead of basking in the glow of 2017. He also wants to up the ante by taking on the clear cut #1 contender Vincius Zani.
Zani (11-4) will challenge the champion in one of the most anticipated title fights of 2018. Zani has been perfect since competing for the promotion. This started before the merger of RFA and Legacy FC, when he showcased his world-class Muay Thai skills in the co-main event of RFA 38. The Brazilian known as “Don Zani” defeated Joe Murphy that night with UFC President Dana White sitting cageside. Zani unleashed a barrage of leg kicks and other violent techniques that excited the crowd, while putting the division on notice. He would win his next two fights in LFA after the merger and has shown no signs of taking his foot off the pedal. In his last appearance in October, Zani defeated former RFA title challenger Joey Miolla via Unanimous Decision in the co-main event of LFA 24.
ໃນກໍລະນີການຮ່ວມມືຕົ້ນຕໍຂອງ LFA 36 will feature the return of Jamall “Boy Pretty” ຄຸ (12-3). The powerful 28-year-old is one of the only people to have fought for LFA, RFA, and Legacy FC. He became the third fighter to complete this rare hat trick of promotional appearances when he co-headlined LFA 5 ປີທີ່ຜ່ານມາ. ວ່າຕອນກາງຄືນ, Emmers lived up to the hype surrounding him after the praise he received from UFC President Dana White on Episode 7 of Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight just a few months earlier. Emmers traveled to the high-altitude of Colorado and defeated the highly-touted Cory Sandhagen, who is now making waves in the UFC. Emmers hopes to shine once again and perhaps punch his own ticket to the UFC with a breakthrough performance at LFA 36.
Emmers will face Talison Soares (10-2), who is coming off a breakthrough performance of his own last month in the co-main event of LFA 30. The 29-year-old Brazilian prospect, who is a decorated BJJ black belt from the prestigious Checkmat academy, made his international debut against fellow top prospect and BJJ ace Fernando Padilla that night. He took full advantage of the opportunity and wowed the crowd by thoroughly out-grappling his heavily favored Mexican opponent. Soares now looks to keep the momentum moving in the right direction by defeating Emmers, who has won three straight fights since impressing the UFC boss at RFA 38. Soares knows a second straight impressive showing will catapult him to the top of what many consider LFA’s deepest division.

TURN THE PAGE: JONES & DENNING WILL WRITE NEXT CHAPTER IN STORIED CAREERS AT NEF 33
Portland, Maine (ກຸມພາ 9, 2018) - ຕໍ່ສູ້ກັບການໃຫມ່ປະເທດອັງກິດ (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland onເດືອນເມສາ 14, 2018 ກັບຕໍ່ໄປກໍລະນີປະສົມ martial, ສິລະປະການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງ, “NEF 33: Riptide.” ກ່ອນຫນ້ານັ້ນໃນມື້ນີ້, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. ບິນໂຈນ (12-10) ແມ່ນໄດ້ກໍານົດເພື່ອຕອບສະຫນອງ Matt Denning (5-7) ໃນນ້ໍາການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງ 155 ປອນ,.
Having begun competing in MMA back in 2007, Bill Jones is one of the longest-active fighters on the New England regional scene. His list of opponents over the years reads like a “ຜູ້ທີ່ຂອງຜູ້ທີ່” of local featherweights and lightweights. He holds wins over some of the best the region has to offer like UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-8) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-8). ສ່ວນຫຼາຍບໍ່ດົນມານີ້, Jones competed on the national stage at World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 35 last spring in New York. Jones is currently a member of Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire. “NEF 33″ will be Jones’ long-awaited first appearance in the NEF cage.
“I’m excited to finally make my NEF debut and face Matt Denning, a fight I’ve been looking forward to for a long time,” said Jones. “My health is at a new level since I stopped smoking. I feel refreshed and ready to put on my best performance to date against an opponent that I’m looking to dismantle in impressive fashion. Everyone knows not to sleep on me. I made my mark in the regional scene a long time age – ແລະ April 14th will be the next chapter in that story. Let’s get after it!"
Including his amateur career, Matt “Doll Ken” Denning is a fifteen-fight veteran of the NEF cage. He is on a two-fight win-streak in that cage with first-round submission victories over Josh Parker (6-10) ຢູ່ໃນ “NEF 28” and Dom Jones (1-1) ຢູ່ໃນ “NEF 29.” Like Jones, Denning is a veteran of the WSOF cage, having competed for the national promotion at Madison Square Garden in New York City. ສ່ວນຫຼາຍບໍ່ດົນມານີ້, Denning fought for national promotion Bellator in Connecticut. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, Maine.
“I’m excited to fight for NEF again,” Denning ເວົ້າວ່າ. “The last two times I fought for them, I had first round submission wins. Bill is a veteran and someone that I’ve tried to fight for a while. ຫຼັງຈາກການຕໍ່ສູ້ນີ້, I don’t expect to be as active as I have been in the past. I want to focus on my job, Hollie and Becca. I look forward to a great showing and seeing all my fans.”
NEF returns to Portland, Maine, at Aura on ວັນເສົາ, ເດືອນເມສາ 14, 2018. ປີ້ແມ່ນກ່ຽວກັບການຂາຍໃນປັດຈຸບັນຢູ່ www.AuraMaine.com. For more information on the event, ກະລຸນາໄປຢ້ຽມຢາມ www.NewEnglandFights.com.

There are few mixed martial artists that invoke the type of polarizing reaction “The Strabanimal” does when entering the Bellator cage. A longtime training partner of Conor McGregor under the tutelage of world-renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, the 21-year-old has been on a tear since signing with Bellator in 2016, racking up four wins in four contests. With each victory, Gallagher has showcased a growing skillset, culminating in a first-round submission of Chinzo Machida at Bellator 180 ເດືອນມິຖຸນາທີ່ຜ່ານມາ. Now fully recovered from injury, Gallagher has a tough test ahead in the undefeated Hungarian.
Adam Borics made his Bellator debut at Bellator 177, finishing Anthony Taylor via submission in the opening frame. Known as “The Kid,” Borics has competed exclusively throughout his four-year career in Europe, and this time will be no different. Having won over plenty of fans over on the heels of his promotional debut in April of last year, Borics will definitely have the home field advantage on April 6.
Bellator women’s kickboxing flyweight champ Denise Kielholtz is riding high following her first MMA victory over Jessica Middleton earlier this year at Bellator 188, while Lena Ovchynnikova will enter the Bellator cage on ເດືອນເມສາ 6 looking to duplicate the success she had the last time she competed in Hungary, a TKO victory over Helen Harper. When the pair of flyweights compete at Bellator 196, look for both to keep the fight on their feet, making for an exciting standup battle.
