Хьюстон, Техас – Наследие Борьба Альянс (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will make its third trip to Minnesota at the end of August with a welterweight headliner and the return of two revered Minnesotans.
Главное событие LFA 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “Феникс” Барнс. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes takes place Пятница, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Миннесота. Вся основная карта будет транслироваться в прямом эфире и по всей стране на AXS TV на 9 p.m. И / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, Установленный Соарес. “We have a great history of bringing exciting fights to the area, and this card will continue that tradition. Both Curry and Barnes have shown to be aggressive, physical fighters, and I really want to see how this match up plays out. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we look forward to bringing LFA 20 to the Mystic Lake Showroom on August 25th.”
Curry (9-1) has transformed himself from one of Minnesota’s most popular fighters to one of the sport’s most exciting and promising prospects. The man aptly known as “Blitz” has decimated his last two opponents since moving up to welterweight. На самом деле, all nine men that he has defeated, never saw the final round. Curry is able to do this by utilizing a unique blend of technical grappling and stout ground-and-pound. The 27-year-old Minnesotan now faces a huge test as he gets set to headline his first televised event at LFA 20.
Барнс (11-2) makes his LFA debut roughly twelve months after competing for the RFA welterweight world title. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, Калифорния дом, has taken the time since that fight to strengthen his already formidable skill set. After coming up short in that title fight to a man who was then immediately signed to the UFC, the 26-year-old known as “Феникс” will look to live by the famous words of S.A. Sachs: “Hope rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams.” The Phoenix will look to rise again at LFA 20.
Со-главное событие LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up
Основная карта LFA 20 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer Kelly “Blood Red” Кобольд. После шести с половиной лет перерыва в спорте, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Кастет” Стэнли.
Кобольд (18-3-1) одна из самых уважаемых женщин в спорте. She has enjoyed an illustrious professional MMA career that dates back fifteen years. A true pioneer in women’s MMA, the warrior known as “Blood Red” has been there moving behind the scenes, cutting a bloody path through the ages until suddenly, just like that, she up and disappeared in 2011. Now she is back at 125-pounds, ready to stake a claim at the top of the division.
Стэнли (5-3) will be the woman waiting to welcome Kobold back to the sport she helped pioneer. The San Diego native has built a career around an explosive striking base that has earned her a reputation as one of the most feared knockout artists in the division. The RFA vet holds one of the fastest knockouts in combat sports. That knockout came in 5-seconds with a highlight reel Flying Spinning Hook Kick back in 2014. “Кастет” has earned four of her five wins by way of KO or TKO and now looks to pick up the biggest win of her career at LFA 20.
