Mazo (5-0) is the 21-year-old LFA women’s flyweight champion. The Colombian wunderkind signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and took the MMA world by storm in 2017. She burst on to the global scene three weeks after her 20th birthday at LFA 9. This happened when she knocked out 82nd Airborne Army veteran Jamie Thorton with a jaw-dropping head kick that went viral on mainstream media and MMA media outlets alike. The Kings MMA product doubled-down in her sophomore appearance for LFA by knocking out Minnesota National Guard member Linsey Williams with a nearly identical first round head kick at LFA 23. La “Colombian Queen” finally received her crown this past April. The title winning performance came courtesy of a unanimous decision over Shannon Sinn at LFA 37, which saw Mazo provide a brilliant display boxing and clinch work, as well as her signature Muay Thai skills. The Medellín, Colombia native now looks to begin her reign as champion with another masterful performance at LFA 54.

 

 

 

Yariwaki (7-2) will be making her highly-anticipated international MMA debut after building a name for herself in her home country of Brazil. The 31-year-old is a second degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu that just celebrated seven years of being a black belt in her country’s most famous martial art on October 7th. Her head coach is her husband Werique Silva, who is a black belt in the Chinese martial art of Sanda. Yariwaki has a purple belt in Sanda and has used her well-rounded skill set to gain a reputation as a relentless finisher in her native Brazil. The Strong Team co-founder made her professional debut in 2016 i s'ha guanyat 7 wins in her career, while finishing 86% of those opponents. Yariwaki is known by her nickname “Japa”, because she was born in Brazil to Japanese descendants just like fellow Belém, Brazil native Lyoto Machida. Yariwaki will look to follow her fellow Belemense’s success in the sport by capturing LFA gold. History will also be made at LFA 54 as Mazo vs. Yariwaki will be the first women’s bout to headline and LFA event.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – La lluita contra el llegat Aliança (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 amb una 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.

L'esdeveniment principal del LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Cortés” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Divendres, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, Califòrnia.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. En l'esdeveniment principal, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “L'Home Llop” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Divendres, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. En l'esdeveniment principal, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. En la baralla co-estel·lar, red-hot Ryan “Superhome” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Divendres, 26 de de gener de at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. I / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Declarat Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
L'esdeveniment principal del LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. En paper, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. No obstant això, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). L'home conegut com “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
L'esdeveniment co-principal de LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superhome” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 segon.
Al setembre 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) a partir del gener 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 atletes que han assolit el pinacle de MMA en competir en l'UFC.

En MMA, com la majoria dels esports, hi ha un vell adagi que diu que va ser popularitzat per l'actor Will Smith que afirma, “Si et quedes a punt, vostè no ha de preparar-se.” Aquest és un dels principis que Oklahoma natal i blue xip MMA perspectiva Jamal Parcs viu per. Parcs posen aquestes paraules de saviesa en plena vigència la setmana passada. Cinc dies destituït del seu cinquè triomf en MMA en cinc concursos, Parcs acceptar amb entusiasme el proper repte que se li presenta a la seva ja espectacular carrera esportiva.

Aquest desafiament va arribar quan l'estrella RFA invicte Sam Toomas es va haver de retirar de la setmana que RFA 23 targeta a Costa Mesa, Califòrnia amb una lesió soferta al final del seu camp d'entrenament. Toomas s'estableix per fer front Raoni Barcelos, qui és un dels prospectes de pes ploma més promocionat altament en MMA. Barcelos és el fill de setè grau de jiu-jitsu cinturó negre i vermell Laerte Barcelos i ha estat preparat per a la grandesa en els esports de combat des de l'edat de dos anys. Això va deixar a molts preguntant qui seria capaç d'intensificar i desafiar el nen prodigi brasiler adequadament en tan poc temps.

La resposta a aquesta pregunta ve en forma de parcs, que s'utilitza per competir contra atletes d'elit en la lluita lliure i busca continuar amb el llarg llegat de lluitadors de l'estat d'Oklahoma que han florit en estrelles de MMA. Aquesta llista inclou a Randy Couture, Johny Hendricks, Daniel Cormier, Mark Muñoz, Jake ROSHOLT, Jared ROSHOLT, Shane Roller, Mo Lawal, així com els veterinaris RFA Steve Mocco i Tyler Shinn.

“Aquesta és una gran oportunitat i estic preparat per encendre cap amunt,” declarar un emocionat Parcs, who is now set to travel to southern California this week to participate on the biggest stage of his promising MMA career.

Parks va ser una escola secundària campió estatal de lluita lliure en tres ocasions a Oklahoma, mentre assistia a Union High School a Tulsa, Oklahoma. Després va lluitar al costat de Jared ROSHOLT i Shinn a Oklahoma State i es va convertir en una Divisió I de la NCAA All-American en el seu últim any. The proud Oklahoma State Cowboy then turned his attention to MMA after graduating and has seen his hand raised five times in five contests. No obstant això, aquest divendres ho veurà competir a la televisió nacional (TV AXS) i la televisió internacional (La Xarxa de Lluita) per primera vegada. Ell també s'enfronta a la prova més dura de la seva carrera a Barcelos.

Ho veus, Barcelos no és el típic de jiu-jitsu cinturó negre. Ell és també un lluitador consumat haver estat una vegada un membre de la Selecció Nacional de Lluita Lliure brasiler. Barcelos, qui va rebre el seu jiu-jitsu cinturó negre a l'edat 20, també va guanyar un títol nacional del Brasil en Lluita lliure el mateix any. Barcelos és també el principal soci de formació de UFC de pes ploma capo José Aldo. Això pedigrí és suficient per espantar molts opositors potencials fins i tot amb un camp d'entrenament complet per preparar. No obstant això, Parcs fresc de la seva cinquena victòria i de nova signatura de múltiples baralles acord amb la RFA, sent que està més que preparat per al repte i disposat a participar en les altes apostes majoria de MMA baralla dels seus career.Parks i Barcelos es reuneixen en una baralla de pes ploma de la targeta principal de la RFA 23 – Murphy vs. Béns a laDivendres, Febrer 6.
