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
HOUSTON, Teksas – 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 Utorak 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 and Legacy FC) competed in the UFC. UFC 213 headliner Valentina Shevchenko would have made that 20 borci, 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 od 30 competitors (56.6%) had previously competed for LFA, RFA, or Legacy FC. Each of the three episodes also featured two “LFA vs. LFA” šibice. The most impressive stat, međutim, 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 Utorak Night Contender Series”. The four LFA stars signed off of the show so far are Boston Salmon (Sedmicu 1), Sean O’Malley (Sedmicu 2), Geoff Neal (Sedmicu 3), and Julian Marquez (Sedmicu 4). There are currently 32 fighters from LFA scheduled to compete on theUtorak 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. Čovjek poznat kao “T-City” improved his perfect record to 12-0 and saw his UFC fighter ranking move up to #6 u svijetu.
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 “Performance of the Night” bonus winning Guillotine Choke.
The following Subota na UFC Fight Night 114, RFA great Dustin Ortiz broke another UFC record to secure his own $50,000 UFC “Performance of the Night” bonus. 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 na 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 prošlog Petak. 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 odvija Petak, 18. avgust u Sanford Pentagon u Sioux Falls, Južna Dakota. The event will serve as the second LFA event to take place in the state of South Dakota. RFA visited “The Mount Rushmore State” four times before the merger.

HOUSTON, Teksas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (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.
Glavni događaj LFA 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes takes place Petak, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minesota. Cijeli Glavni kartica će biti na televiziji uživo i zemlje na AXS TV u 9 poslije podne. I / 6 poslije podne. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, Izjavio Soares. “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.”
Ulaznice za LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.
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. Zapravo, 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.
Barnes (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, California home, 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 “The Phoenix” 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.
Ko-glavni događaj LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up between two of the promotion’s top featherweightcontenders. Policajac “The Wolfman” Moffett (9-2) i “Nasty” nate Jennerman (9-2) will face off in a high-stakes affair as the two contenders jockey for position at the top of the division. The pair of featherweight standouts share more than just identical records. They both have roots in the famed RFA promotion. Moffett who trains at The MMA LAB in Glendale, Arizona competed three times for the RFA. U međuvremenu, Jennerman who trains at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin finished his amateur career for the promotion.
The main card of LFA 20 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer Kelly “Blood Red” Kobold. Nakon pola godine pauze od sporta šest i, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Zglavci” Stanley.
Kobold (18-3-1) je jedan od najuglednijih žena u sportu. 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.
Stanley (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. “Zglavci” 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.

Blumer (12-2) returns to the the building where he recorded a front-runner for “KO of the Year” Prošlog marta na RFA 24. On je osvojio svoj RFA debi sa blještavoj leđa ruke KO nad željezo-chinned MMA pionir Jeff Curran. U KO je došao sa samo dva sekundi u prvom kolu na način koji je bio isto toliko šokantna kao što je govorio. Značaj Win Blumer je bio da se pokazalo svijetu ono što je Upper Midwest već godinama poznaje… Melvin Blumer je poseban dar koji može završiti borbu bilo gdje u svakom trenutku. Blumer je sada spreman za sljedeći korak u svojoj karijeri, po kojima se suočava jedan od Brazil elite.
“Ja sam više nego sretan da bude u glavni događaj za RFA gdje mogu staviti dovršava na složen RFA 32 kartica,” izjavio Blumer. “Bio sam na Leandro Higo prošle borbu gdje je završio Muškarac koji je otišla pet kola sa Champ. Ja definitivno ne vidim ovo borba na daljinu, ali ja se radujem da mi ruka podignuta protiv još jednu tešku i dostojan protivnik.”
Smokva (14-2) je dao izjavu u svom debiju RFA prošlog meseca na RFA 29, koji je bio sličan značaj RFA debi Blumer je. Baš kao Blumer, završio protivnika koji je upravo otišao 5-kola sa neporažen RFA prvak u svojim najnovijim izlet. Higo je bio u mogućnosti da podnese Terrion Ware preko zadnjih naked choke sa samo dvije sekunde preostale u njihovoj borbi. Pobeda, svidjeti Blumer, pokazalo ono što lokalni fanovi Higo u Brazilu su godinama govorim… Leandro Higo je jedan od najboljih gore-i-dolaze boraca u MMA. Higo je sada željan da se suoči Blumer u borbi za dva od najuzbudljivijih i obećava bantam VMA.
“Na naslov RFA 32, međunarodni show, je sjajan osjećaj,” Uzviknuo Higo. “I’m very happy to be a part of RFA and my main goal is to become the champion and no one will stop me from achieving that. After my last fight I met Melvin and his brother. Mislio sam da su iz drugog težinskoj zato što su prevelike, prejak. Čak sam se našalio sa Pedro Falcao poput “Pogledajte da Pedrinho, veličine od momaka mi ćemo morati uzeti dolje (smeh)”.
“Imali smo dobru interakciju, iako mi ne govorimo istim jezikom, imali smo dobar provod. On je izgleda prilično cool guy, Volim da mislim da sam jedan previše sebe, so it wasn’t difficult. I’m sure we’ll have a great duel, on dolazi iz veliki dobitak, Ja dolazim iz veliki dobitak, i mislim da je pobjednik ove borbe će se boriti za pojas. Onda ćemo imati novu RFA prvak i njegovo ime će biti Leandro Higo.”
Također bi trebalo da se bore na RFA 32 u RFA povratak Minnesota su tri od najvećih MMA zvezdica države. Bivši prvak u velter kategoriji Benjamin Smith RFA (14-3), identičan brat blizanac Melvin Blumer, a druga polovina čuvenog “Bash Brothers” Marvin Blumer (11-5), i vrh države rangirani lagan Chad Curry (7-0) koji je završio svih sedam od njegove borbe. Kovač, Blumer, i Curry su svi predviđeni da se natječu na glavnu kartu RFA 32.
