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, Texas – 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 Madi 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. Ch 213 headliner Valentina Shevchenko would have made that 20 avyon de gè, 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 nan la 30 competitors (56.6%) had previously competed for LFA, RFA, or Legacy FC. Each of the three episodes also featured two “LFA vs. LFA” alimèt. The most impressive stat, sepandan, 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 Madi Night Contender Series”. The four LFA stars signed off of the show so far are Boston Salmon (Semèn 1), Sean O’Malley (Semèn 2), Geoff Neal (Semèn 3), and Julian Marquez (Semèn 4). There are currently 32 fighters from LFA scheduled to compete on theMadi 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. Nonm lan li te ye tankou “T-City” improved his perfect record to 12-0 and saw his UFC fighter ranking move up to #6 nan mond lan.
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 Ch “Performance of the Night” bonus winning Guillotine Choke.
The following Samdi nan ch goumen lannwit 114, RFA great Dustin Ortiz broke another UFC record to secure his own $50,000 Ch “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. Ch 215 sou 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 sa a sot pase Vandredi. 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.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Goumen 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.
evènman an prensipal nan 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 Vandredi, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minnesota.

“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, Deklare 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.”
Tickets for 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. An reyalite, 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.
evènman an ko-prensipal la LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up between two of the promotion’s top featherweightcontenders. Bobby “Wolfman a” Moffett (9-2) ak “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. Pandan se tan, 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. Apre yon sis ak yon lakun mwatye ane soti nan espò a, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Knuckles” Stanley.
Kobold (18-3-1) se youn nan fanm yo nan espò a ki pi respekte. 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. “Knuckles” 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.

KO nan vin rive ak jis de segonn kite nan premye tou an nan yon fason ki te jis kòm chokan kòm li te vle di. Siyifikasyon an nan genyen Blumer la te ke li te montre mond lan sa Upper Midwès la te li te ye pou ane… Melvin Blumer se yon talan espesyal ki ka fini yon batay nenpòt kote nan nenpòt ki moman.

Fig (14-2) te fè yon deklarasyon nan premye RFA l 'mwa pase a nan RFA 29, sa ki te menm jan ak siyifikasyon nan RFA premye Blumer la. Jis tankou Blumer, li te fini yon advèsè ki moun ki te fèk ale-5 jij ak yon undefeated RFA chanpyon nan pwomnad ki pi resan yo.

After my last fight I met Melvin and his brother. Mwen te panse yo te soti nan yon lòt klas pwa paske yo ap twò gwo, twò fò. Mwen menm plezante ak Pedro Falcao tankou “Gade nan ki Pedrinho, gwosè a nan mesye yo nou pral gen yo pran desann (ri)”.
“Nou te gen yon entèraksyon bon, byenke nou pa pale lang nan menm, nou te gen yon bon moman. Li sanble ap yon nèg trè fre, Mwen renmen panse mwen se yon sèl twò tèt mwen, so it wasn’t difficult. I’m sure we’ll have a great duel, li te vini soti nan yon gwo genyen, M 'ap vini soti nan yon gwo genyen, e mwen kwè gayan an nan sa a batay ap goumen pou senti a. Lè sa a, nou pral gen yon nouvo chanpyon RFA ak non l 'la pral Leandro Higo.”
Epitou pwograme yo goumen nan RFA 32 an retou RFA a nan Minnesota twa nan pi gwo zetwal mma eta a.
