LFA BACK IN HOUSTON FOR LFA 26 ODOMS vs. HUGHES
|
HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) officials announced today LFA will return home to Houston, TX for LFA 26.
The main event will feature LFA Heavyweight Champion Richard “The Black Eagle” Odoms defending his title for the first time since he won it at LFA 15. Standing opposite him in the cage will be Ohio’s Jeff “Lights Out” Hughes. LFA 26 – Odoms vs. Hughes takes place Fredag, November 3rd at the Arena Theatre in Houston, Texas. Hele vigtigste kort vil blive tv-transmitteret direkte og landsdækkende på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
Billetter til LFA 26 – Odoms vs. Hughes are available for purchase NOW at Arena Theatre.
Odoms (13-3), a full time San Antonio police officer, is currently riding a two-fight win streak, both of which were in LFA, and has finished both opponents. The latest win culminated in Odoms, who also is a veteran of Legacy FC, winning the vacant LFA Heavyweight Title when he submitted previously undefeated Jared Vanderaa (6-1) i femte runde.
Hughes (7-1) will look to capitalize on his nickname “Lights Out” when he tries to take away Odoms’ sværvægter titel. Hughes is currently ranked as one of the top regional heavyweights in the Midwest and has wins over Strikeforce and Bellator veterans, including a highlight reel KO when he knocked out Strikeforce veteran Jason Riley with a spinning wheel kick.
The co-main event will feature LFC and LFA veteran Bilal Williams (8-4) moving up in weight to take on another LFC veteran in Larry “Tae Kwon” Crowe (9-6) in what is sure to be a very fun fight for everyone watching, as both fighters rarely go the distance. Williams fought five times på et år for LFC, even taking fights on short notice and became a fan favorite with his relentless style. Crowe was another LFC favorite who was always looking for the knockout with his explosive power, which earned him two shots at the LFC Middleweight Title. Williams and Crowe are coming off of losses to recently-signed UFC fighters, and are looking to prove they belong in the big show.

FNU Combat Sports Show: Canelo/GGG controversy, Featured Guest Eddie Barraco
This episode of the FNU Combat Sports Show features special guest Eddie Barraco. Eddie was a fighter who last connected with us when MySpace was still cool (tjek Eddie’s Facebook page Here), and it’s been too long. We cover a wide range of issues and catch up on what he’s been up to as a first class MMA trainer in Las Vegas. Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the abhorrent judging of Adelaide Byrd, who scored the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight 118-110 in favor of Canelo, who by most accounts lost a close fight at best. Additionally we touch on Ana Julaton’s transition from boxing to MMA, Conor McGregor’s upcoming appearance before congress, and former heavyweight champion boxer Michael Moorer’s new job punching out looters in Florida.
Part One and Show Close:

“Mackenzie Dern vender tilbage til LFA Octagon foran hendes hjembys publikum på LFA 24,” Erklærede Soares. “Dern er en af de mest dygtige jiu-jitsu-konkurrenter, der nogensinde har krydset ind i MMA. På13 oktober, hun skal møde RFA-dyrlægen og IFBBs professionelle fitnesskonkurrent Mandy Polk i fluevægtsdivisionen.”
Billetter til LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender kan købes NU på ComericaTheatre.com.
Dern (3-0) er datter af legendariske jiu-jitsu og judo sort bælte Wellington “Megaton” Dias. Hun begyndte at træne med sin far i en tidlig alder i Phoenix-området og betragtes nu bredt som en af de mest dygtige jiu-jitsu-udøvere, der nogensinde har konkurreret i MMA. Den mangedobbelte jiu-jitsu verdensmester har vundet en verdenstitel på hver række (blåt bælte gennem sort bælte) og 2015 føjede en ADCC Submission Wrestling World-titel til sin trofæetui. Dern vil forsøge at forsvare denne ADCC-titel denne weekend i Finland. Efter ADCC 2017, kvinden, som den tidligere UFC-mester Benson Henderson berømt udtalte “bliver større end Ronda Rousey”, vender tilbage til LFA Octagon foran hendes hjembys publikum på LFA 24.
Polk (3-3) vil være kvinden, der venter på at byde Dern velkommen til fluevægtsafdelingen. Dette er UFC's nyeste vægtklasse, der i øjeblikket vises i den nuværende sæson af UFC's hit reality tv-serie The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 26). “Frøken Opførsel” er indfødt i Memphis, Tennessee-området og har et lilla bælte i jiu-jitsu. Hun er også en high school wrestling coach og IFBB professionel fitness konkurrent. Polk konkurrerede ved den sidste RFA-begivenhed (RFA 46) før RFA fusionerede med Legacy FC. Ved underskrift med RFA og kendskab til den eventuelle fusion, Polk gjorde sine intentioner klart, at hun ville elske muligheden for at konkurrere mod Dern, der konkurrerede for Legacy FC. Polk vil nu få sit ønske i LFA 24.
