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. Den “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.

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 og har opnået 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.

LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. I main event, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. I co-headliner, red-hot Ryan “Superman” 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 Fredag, 26th januar 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. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Erklærede 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.”
Millender (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.
Den vigtigste begivenhed af 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. På papiret, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Men, 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). Manden er kendt som “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
Co-main event af 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. “Superman” 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 minutter og 28 sekunder.
I september 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) begynder i januar 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 atleter, der har nået toppen af ​​MMA ved at konkurrere i UFC.

I MMA, ligesom de fleste sportsgrene, Der er et gammelt ordsprog, der blev gjort populær af skuespiller Will Smith, der hedder, “Hvis du opholder dig klar, du behøver ikke at blive klar.” Det er et af de principper, som Oklahoma indfødte og blue chip MMA udsigten Jamal Parks lever af. Parker sætte disse visdomsord i fuld effekt i sidste uge. Blot fem dage fjernet fra hans femte karriere MMA sejr i fem konkurrencer, Parker ivrigt imod den næste udfordring for ham i hans allerede spektakulære atletiske karriere.

Denne udfordring kom, da ubesejrede RFA stjerne Sam Toomer blev tvunget ud af næste uges RFA 23 kort i Costa Mesa, California med en skade sent i hans træningslejr. Toomer blev sat til ansigt Raoni Barcelos, som er en af ​​de mest roste fjervægtsklassen udsigter i MMA. Barcelos er søn af 7. grad jiu-jitsu sort-rødt bælte Laerte Barcelos og er blevet oplært til storhed i kamp sport siden en alder af to. Der forlod mange spekulerer på, hvem ville være i stand til at optrappe og udfordre den brasilianske vidunderbarn tilstrækkeligt på sådanne kort varsel.

Svaret på dette spørgsmål kommer i form af parker, der er vant til at konkurrere mod elite atleter i brydning og ser ud til at fortsætte den lange arven fra Oklahoma State brydere, der har blomstret i MMA stjerner. Listen omfatter Randy Couture, Johny Hendricks, Daniel Cormier, Mark Muñoz, Jake ROSHOLT, Jared Rosholt, Shane Roller, Mo Lawal, samt RFA dyrlæger Steve Mocco og Tyler Shinn.

“Dette er en stor mulighed, og jeg er klar til at lyse op,” erklærede en ophidset Parker, who is now set to travel to southern California this week to participate on the biggest stage of his promising MMA career.

Parker var en tre-time high school stat wrestling mester i Oklahoma, samtidig deltage Union High School i Tulsa, Oklahoma. Han kæmpede derefter sammen med Jared Rosholt og Shinn på Oklahoma State og blev en NCAA Division I All-American hans senior sæson. The proud Oklahoma State Cowboy then turned his attention to MMA after graduating and has seen his hand raised five times in five contests. Men, denne fredag vil se ham konkurrere på nationalt tv (AXS TV) og international tv (The Fight Network) for første gang. Han vil også stå over den hårdeste test af sin karriere i Barcelos.

Du ser, Barcelos er ikke din typiske jiu-jitsu sort bælte. Han er også en dygtig wrestler har engang været medlem af det brasilianske Wrestling Team. Barcelos, der fik sin jiu-jitsu sort bælte i en alder 20, også vundet en brasiliansk nationale titel i freestyle wrestling samme år. Barcelos er også den vigtigste træningspartner til UFC fjerlette kingpin Jose Aldo. Denne stamtavle er nok til at skræmme væk mange potentielle modstandere, selv med en fuld træningslejr for at forberede. Men, Parker frisk fra hans femte sejr og nyligt underskrevet multi-kamp aftale med RFA, føler, at han er mere end klar til udfordringen og er ivrig efter at deltage i de mest high-stakes MMA anfald af hans career.Parks og Barcelos mødes i en fjerlet kamp på de vigtigste kort på RFA 23 – Murphy vs. Varer påFredag, 6 februar.
