THE SUMMER OF LFA

LFA ALUM IMPRESS IN THE UFC:
TITLE SHOTS, BONUSES and RECORD BREAKERS
4 SHOWS IN 4 WEEKS:
LFA SET TO VISIT 4 STATES IN 4 WEEKS
ΧΙΟΥΣΤΟΝ, Τέξας – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) has had a busy summer. In last month’s newsletter, it was reported that LFA alum accumulated $200,000 in UFC bonus money in the month of June, former RFA headliner Zach Freeman secured an “Upset of the Year” nominee in New York City, and three inaugural LFA titles were awarded to get the summer started.

LFA LAUNCHING PAD
The summer continued to heat up in July. The UFC hosted 5 events along with the first 3 episodes of UFC President Dana White’s new weekly web series titled “Dana White’s Τρίτη Night Contender Series” throughout the month.
The number of LFA alum that participated in those events was staggering. 19 fighters that have fought for LFA or the two promotions that merged to create it (RFA και Legacy FC) competed in the UFC. UFC 213 headliner Valentina Shevchenko would have made that 20 μαχητές, but Amanda Nunes withdrew from their title fight on the day of the fight.
The presence of LFA alum on Dana White’s new show was just as impressive. In the first three episodes that aired in July, 17 της 30 συναγωνιστές (56.6%) had previously competed for LFA, RFA, or Legacy FC. Each of the three episodes also featured two “LFA vs. LFA” σπίρτα. The most impressive stat, ωστόσο, is the fact that an LFA fighter was signed by Dana White off of each episode.
That trend carried over into August with a fourth LFA fighter being signed to the UFC off of the fourth episode of “Dana White’s Τρίτη Night Contender Series”. The four LFA stars signed off of the show so far are Boston Salmon (Εβδομάδα 1), Sean O’Malley (Εβδομάδα 2), Geoff Neal (Εβδομάδα 3), and Julian Marquez (Εβδομάδα 4). There are currently 32 fighters from LFA scheduled to compete on theΤρίτη might summer series. LFA also currently has 19 alum ranked in the latest UFC fighter rankings.
LFA ALUM IMPRESS IN THE UFC
While former LFA fighters impressed in the UFC last month with the sheer number of participants, what they accomplished in those bouts is even more important. Perhaps the biggest shining star of the bunch was former RFA featherweight champion Brian Ortega. Ο άνθρωπος είναι γνωστή ως “T-City” improved his perfect record to 12-0 and saw his UFC fighter ranking move up to #6 στον κόσμο.
Ortega did this by breaking his own UFC record at UFC 214 on July 29th. Going into his bout with fellow unbeaten star Renato Moicano, Ortega held the UFC record for most consecutive third round finishes. He extended that streak by submitting Moicano in the final frame with a $50,000 UFC “Απόδοση της νύχτας” bonus winning Guillotine Choke.
The following Σάββατο στο UFC Fight Night 114, RFA great Dustin Ortiz broke another UFC record to secure his own $50,000 UFC “Απόδοση της νύχτας” δώρο. Ortiz accomplished this feat by knocking out Hector Sandoval in 15-seconds to record the fastest finish in UFC flyweight history. His teammate and former RFA flyweight champion Sergio Pettis happened to headline the same card. Pettis won his marquee bout against Brandon Moreno unanimously in a pivotal battle between two Top 10 ranked UFC flyweights.
The UFC will be off for the next few weeks, but September looks to be just as big for the LFA greats competing inside the famed UFC Octagon. UFC 215 επί September 9th will feature two LFA alum challenging for UFC world titles. Legacy FC great Ray Borg will headline the card for a shot at the UFC flyweight title, while Shevchenko will finally get a crack at the UFC women’s bantamweight title in the co-main event. Seven other LFA alum have UFC bouts already announced for next month as well.
4 SHOWS IN 4 WEEKS
LFA started August with the first title defense in the promotion’s history. Two of the inaugural LFA champions that were just crowned in June (Eryk Anders and Roberto Sanchez) have already made their UFC debut, but LFA featherweight champion Kevin “Angel of Death” Aguilar was able to defend his title in the main event of LFA 18 αυτό το παρελθόν Παρασκευή. He did so by sweeping the scorecards against a very game challenger in #1 contender and world-class BJJ black belt Justin Rader.
LFA is now set to end the summer with four shows in four weeks in four different states. The quadruple-header starts next week in South Dakota at LFA 19. The promotion then heads east to Minnesota the following week at LFA 20. LFA kicks off first day of September in Missouri at LFA 21. Then the final leg of the four week trip will go down in Colorado at LFA 22.
LFA 19 – Michaud vs. Rodrigues λαμβάνει χώρα Παρασκευή, 18 του Αυγούστου στο Sanford Πεντάγωνο σε Σιού Φολς, Νότια Ντακότα. The event will serve as the second LFA event to take place in the state of South Dakota. RFA visited “Το κράτος όρος Rushmore” four times before the merger. LFA 19 is headlined with a welterweight war between three-time UFC vet David “Bulldawg” Michaud (11-3) and Brazilian powerhouse Ciro “Κακο αγορι” Rodrigues (20-7).

Το μαχητικό σπορ σόου αυτής της εβδομάδας είναι μια ξεχωριστή κατάσταση προσωπικότητας. Είχαμε τεχνικές δυσκολίες να συγκεντρώσουμε όλους μας για την παράσταση, οπότε ηχογραφήσαμε τον Τομ και τον Τόνι να συνομιλούν μεταξύ τους την Πέμπτη το βράδυ. Πρόσθεσα το μερίδιό μου σήμερα. Όλα λειτούργησαν σε μια απίστευτη εικόνα για το Mayweather vs. McGregor, Το αυξανόμενο πρόβλημα της Dana White με δυσαρεστημένους αστέρες στο UFC, Broner vs. Garcia και Lomachenko vs. Μαριάγκα. Διασπάμε επίσης τον Jon Jones νικώντας τον Daniel Cormier στο UFC 214 και οι συνέπειες για την αναμέτρηση του Brock Lesnar στο Octagon. Είναι πολύ πιθανό, αλλά είναι ενδιαφέρον. Αναφερόμαστε επίσης στις συνταξιοδοτήσεις των Juan Manuel Marquez και Wladimir Klitschko.

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Ιούλιος 13, 2017) – Day three of their blockbuster world tour sawboxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor continue to trade verbal jabs as the global stars went face-to-face in front of over 13,000 fans at Barclays Center ahead of their Αύγουστος. 26 showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After filling venues in Los Angeles and Toronto, an electric crowd greeted the two fighters Thursday as Mayweather and McGregor picked up right where they left off, building on the two increasingly combative press conferences held Τρίτη καιΤετάρτη.
The world tour concludes την Παρασκευή when the fighters travel to The SSE Arena, Wembley in London.
Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν την Πέμπτη:
FLOYD MAYWEATHER
“I knew that this was going to be a huge event. We had to give the people what they wanted to see and if we break the PPV record, all I’ll be doing is breaking my own record.
“I’m just thankful to be in this position. To be at this age and compete against young guys, είναι μια ευλογία. He’s bigger, he has a longer reach and I’ve been inactive. Περισσότερο, we’ve never seen him lose standing up. He feels like he’s the best. I was the best when I was competing. So I think I had to come back for this last hurrah.
“Even though I haven’t been competing in boxing, you still have young guys calling me out all the time. Even the MMA fighters call me out.
“My thing is that either I’m going to get him, or he’s going to get me. The outcome is going to be what it’s going to be. Once you have that mindset, you’re going to be okay. He’s coming for me and I’m coming for him.
“Nobody knows that squared circle like me. I know angles. I know where to touch you at. I know what you don’t like. I don’t have to watch your tapes. That’s something I’m blessed with. Αλλά, he’s unorthodox. So it’ll definitely be something different in the ring. I just have to keep my composure.
“I have to stand up for the Americans and the American fight fans. He represents his country and I represent the red, white and blue. I represent everyone in this country.
“I’ve been doing this for 21 years in five weigh classes. I’ve never quit.”
CONOR MCGREGOR
“Floyd saying he’s going to knock me out is the funniest comment of the whole tour. I hope he comes for it and I hope he brings it. I’ll be prepared for anything and anticipate whatever he brings.
“Είμαι σε πολύ καλή φόρμα, that’s why I’m not wearing a shirt. I’m in shape to fight right now. I don’t have a nick on my body right now. I’m going to be 100 percent on fight night.
“I have a very high fight IQ. I understand when to go and when not to. Only me and the opponent can see these details. I’m very confident whether it’s in a ring or an octagon.
“The rounds are two minutes shorter than I’m used to and there’s a lot less action than I’m used to. He’s going to feel like he’s wrestling a bear when we tie up for the first time. He’s too small. I’m going to have my way with him.
“I know every shot he throws. Ξέρω τι να περιμένω. He fights the same every time. So we’re preparing. But he knows nothing about me. He has no idea how I’m going approach him.
“I’m not tired of this. It’s really a lot of fun. We’ll keep it professional for now. I could never get tired of this. It’s such a great time to be a fight fan.
“Floyd is saying a lot about me tapping out, but he’s never had a true fight. He knows nothing about the game that I’m involved with. We’ll see who is quitting on Αύγουστος. 26.
“To come back here in New York, where I made history and become the first fighter in UFC history to win titles simultaneously, I’m blown away by the support.”
