9 former fighters compete, 7 win, og
$150,000 in bonus money earned
HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) and the two promotions that merged to create it, RFA and Legacy FC, were well-represented and shined on the biggest stage when the UFC traveled to the state capital of Texas søndag nat.

Nine former fighters competed, which included five former champions. This included former titleholders from LFA, RFA, og Legacy FC. The nine fighters included Derrick Lewis, Curtis Millender, Steven Peterson, Sage Northcutt, Diego Ferreira, Geoff Neal, Brian Camozzi, Roberto Sanchez, and Alex Morono. That group made up 37.5% of the entire card. Seven of the nine fighters were victorious, but that is because one of the fights pitted two of these fighters against each other. The other loss, resulted in a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus and also received widespread praise.
“I was excited to watch so many of the talented fighters from LFA, RFA, and Legacy do so well at UFC: Austinsøndag nat,” stated LFA CEO Ed Soares. “The goal of LFA is to develop top prospects, so when they get to the UFC, they will continue to impress under the bright lights of the UFC for years to come.”

I co-main event, former Legacy FC heavyweight champion Derrick Lewis, who also fought for RFA, did what “The Black Beast” does best. The no-nonsense Texan unleashed his unforgiving power-punching in the third round to pick up the TKO, his tenth UFC win, while also picking up his fourth UFC bonus. This time it was a $50,000 UFC “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Millender made his UFC debut on the main card just one month after winning the main event of LFA 30. The win at LFA 30 was Millender’s third straight win in an LFA headliner and his second straight via Head Kick KO. The win earned him a UFC contract and a debut fight against a former UFC title challenger in Thiago Alves. Denne gang, he used a knee to score the walk-off KO. The impressive debut also earned Millender the other $50,000 UFC “Performance of the Night” bonus.
The main card also saw Northcutt, a former Legacy FC star, earn his fifth win inside the UFC Octagon, while former Legacy FC bantamweight champion and LFA standout Peterson earned a $50,000 UFC “Fight of the Night” bonus for his wildly entertaining UFC debut, which took place in the featherweight division. Peterson’s UFC debut also earned him widespread praise from fans and fellow fighters alike. Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman was quick to tweet: “Peterson is my new favorite fighter!!”
Ferreira, a former Legacy FC lightweight champion, showed no signs of ring rust as he picked up a quick TKO win in less than two minutes into the final fight of the preliminary card. The win came after Ferreira made a come back to the sport after a two-year layoff. In the bout before Ferreira’s successful return, it was a battle of LFA / Legacy FC star Geoff Neal and former RFA welterweight champion Brian Camozzi. Neal made a big statement in his UFC debut and picked up the win via Rear Naked Choke.
Sanchez also picked up his first UFC win. The inaugural LFA flyweight champion earned a submission win via Rear Naked Choke less than two-minutes into the bout. Morono got things moving in the right direction for our LFA/RFA/Legacy FC alum, when the former Legacy FC welterweight champion submitted longtime UFC vet Josh Burkman via Guillotine Choke early in Round 1.
I september 2016, RFA og Legacy FC embedsmænd meddelte, at de ville være at fusionere for at danne LFA. This new powerhouse promotion would serve as the premier developmental organization in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) begynder i januar 2017. RFA og Legacy FC har lanceret karrieren for mere end 150 atleter, der har nået toppen af ​​MMA ved at konkurrere i UFC.

LFA returns on Fredag, 2nd marts with LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins. The main event will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Kontakt” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 letvægts udfordrer Brandon “The Human Highlight Reel” Jenkins.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 med en 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.

Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Fredag, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, California.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. I main event, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “The Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Fredag, January 19th på Comerica Theatre i Phoenix, Arizona.
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.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares meddelte i dag, at MMA-superudsigten Mackenzie Dern vil vende tilbage til LFA Octagon i hendes hjemby Phoenix, Arizona ved LFA 24.

Den tidligere annoncerede hovedbegivenhed i LFA 24 vil byde på en weltervægtskrig mellem to af divisionens marquee-navne, når australsk annihilator Matthew “Torden fra Down Under” Frincu står over for det sydlige Californiens juggernaut “Curtious” Curtis Millender. LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender finder sted Fredag, 13 oktober på Comerica Theatre i Phoenix, Arizona. Hele vigtigste kort vil blive tv-transmitteret direkte og landsdækkende på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“Mackenzie Dern vender tilbage til LFA Octagon foran hendes hjembys publikum på LFA 24,” Erklærede Soares. “Dern er en af ​​de mest dygtige jiu-jitsu-konkurrenter, der nogensinde har krydset ind i MMA. På13 oktober, hun skal møde RFA-dyrlægen og IFBBs professionelle fitnesskonkurrent Mandy Polk i fluevægtsdivisionen.”
Billetter til LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender kan købes NU på ComericaTheatre.com.
Dern (3-0) er datter af legendariske jiu-jitsu og judo sort bælte Wellington “Megaton” Dias. Hun begyndte at træne med sin far i en tidlig alder i Phoenix-området og betragtes nu bredt som en af ​​de mest dygtige jiu-jitsu-udøvere, der nogensinde har konkurreret i MMA. Den mangedobbelte jiu-jitsu verdensmester har vundet en verdenstitel på hver række (blåt bælte gennem sort bælte) og 2015 føjede en ADCC Submission Wrestling World-titel til sin trofæetui. Dern vil forsøge at forsvare denne ADCC-titel denne weekend i Finland. Efter ADCC 2017, kvinden, som den tidligere UFC-mester Benson Henderson berømt udtalte “bliver større end Ronda Rousey”, vender tilbage til LFA Octagon foran hendes hjembys publikum på LFA 24.
Polk (3-3) vil være kvinden, der venter på at byde Dern velkommen til fluevægtsafdelingen. Dette er UFC's nyeste vægtklasse, der i øjeblikket vises i den nuværende sæson af UFC's hit reality tv-serie The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 26). “Frøken Opførsel” er indfødt i Memphis, Tennessee-området og har et lilla bælte i jiu-jitsu. Hun er også en high school wrestling coach og IFBB professionel fitness konkurrent. Polk konkurrerede ved den sidste RFA-begivenhed (RFA 46) før RFA fusionerede med Legacy FC. Ved underskrift med RFA og kendskab til den eventuelle fusion, Polk gjorde sine intentioner klart, at hun ville elske muligheden for at konkurrere mod Dern, der konkurrerede for Legacy FC. Polk vil nu få sit ønske i LFA 24.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) Administrerende direktør Ed Soares meddelte i dag, at LFA er på vej tilbage til Arizona i oktober med et afgørende par i toppen af ​​LFA-weltervægtsdivisionen.

Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 24 vil byde på en eksplosiv weltervægtskrig mellem to af divisionens marquee-navne. Headlineren vil se den australske annihilator Matthew “Torden fra Down Under” Frincu står over for det sydlige Californien “Curtious” Curtis Millender. LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender finder sted Fredag, 13 oktober ved Comerica Teater i Phoenix, Arizona. Hele vigtigste kort vil blive tv-transmitteret direkte og landsdækkende på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“Jeg er spændt på at bringe LFA tilbage til Arizona videre 13 oktober,” Erklærede Soares. “Matthew Frincu har været sensationel i sine to første LFA-kampe. Han skal møde Curtis Millender, som specifikt bad om denne kamp. De vinder begge store sejre i LFA-hovednavne, der fandt sted med kun fire ugers mellemrum, og vinderen af ​​denne kamp vil afgive et kæmpe statement i toppen af ​​en af ​​vores dybeste divisioner.”
Billetter til LFA 24 – Frincu vs. Millender kan købes NU på ComericaTheatre.com.
Frincu (11-2) så utroligt ud i sin LFA-debut i slutningen af ​​februar i LFA 5. Den indfødte fra Gold Coast, Australien angreb Kris Hocum i femten minutter i en vildt underholdende opvisning af slående glans. Frincu underviste i en masterclass om, hvordan man effektivt udnytter rækkevidde og Muay Thai-teknik til at demontere en griber på højt niveau. Ti uger senere, Arizona Combat Sports repræsentant tilbød et lynkursus om samme emne, da han kun behøvede 96 sekunder for at stoppe den brasilianske kandidat Maycon Mendonça i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 11. Nu “Torden fra Down Under” ser ud til at slå til en tredje gang inde i LFA Octagon på LFA 24.
Millender (12-3), ligesom Frincu, kører også momentum af en fire-kamps sejrsrække på vej ind i deres opgør i LFA 24 hovednavn. Den indfødte fra Anaheim og tredobbelte Bellator-dyrlæge imponerede mange i sin LFA-debut i begyndelsen af ​​juni, da han opnåede en Unanimous Decision-sejr over Kevin Holland i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 13. Sejren hjalp “Curtious Curtis” høfligt minde verden om, hvorfor han stadig er et af Californiens bedste weltervægtstalenter. CSW-standouten ser nu ud til at tage sit show med på vejen, når han tager til Arizonas hovedstad for at kæmpe mod den bedste australske weltervægter i sporten i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 24.
Co-main event af LFA 24 vil byde på LFA-debuten af ​​den tidligere RFA bantamvægt titeludfordrer Joey “The Beast” Med Mio (9-2). Power MMA-produktet kæmpede om RFA tre gange, men det vil være første gang Miolla kommer til at kæmpe på AXS TV foran hans hjembys publikum i “Solens Dal”. Miolla var det eneste medlem af Team USA, der tjente en sejr mod Team Brasilien ved RFA 29. Han kæmpede derefter Leandro Higo om RFA bantamvægt-titlen ved RFA 37 i en kamp, ​​der blev vist på Dana White: Kig ind’ For En Kamp. Miollas sidste RFA-kamp fandt sted i fjervægt hos RFA 44, hvor han hentede en submission-sejr over T.J. Brown.
Manden, der ønsker at ødelægge Miollas hjemkomst, er den samme mand, som skulle møde Miolla tidligere på året, før en skade forsinkede deres uundgåelige konfrontation. Det ville være en anden RFA-standout Vinicius “Don” Jeg ved (10-4). Den brasilianske Muay Thai-ophugningsmaskine gjorde et stort første indtryk i sin RFA-debut, da han dominerede Joe Murphy i den co-main event i RFA 38. At Bout, ligesom Miollas titelkamp ved RFA 37, skete med UFC-præsident Dana White, der sad i buret og filmede sit populære reality-tv-show Dana White: Kig ind’ For En Kamp. Miolla og Zani vil nu minde UFC-chefen om, hvem de er med en klar og afgørende sejr i LFA 24.
I øjeblikket annonceret Main Card (Tv-transmitteret på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT):
Main Event | Weltervægt Bout (170 lbs)
– Matthew Frincu (11-2) vs. Curtis Millender (12-3)

TEMECULA, Calif. (Maj 15, 2015) – While Brandon “Bull” Halsey (9-0) can no longer say he’s Bellator MMA’s Middleweight World Champion, he’s still managed to show his talent with a one-sided destruction of proven veteran Kendall “Den Spyder” Grove (21-15).

 

The contest served as the feature main event of Fredagens “Bellator: Halsey vs. Grove” card at Pechanga Resort & Casino i Temecula, Calif.

 

Halsey nearly finished the fight in the early going, moving to an arm-triangle choke that would have finished a lesser opponent, but Grove somehow battled through the effort. Stadig, it was a one-sided round for the former champ.

 

Grove was able to avoid such a precarious position in the second, but he was still forced to be on the defensive throughout most of the frame. With a high-paced wrestling attack, Halsey simply pushed his way to the floor and enjoyed top position for almost the entirety of the round.

 

The pattern continued as the fight wore on, with Halsey simply overpowering his opponent and constantly earning himself the dominant position. Grove briefly threatened with an armbar in the fourth frame, but Halsey simply yanked his limb free and pounded away with punches shortly after until he earned the TKO win at the 2:25 mark of the frame.

 

The undefeated Halsey, who was stripped of the Bellator MMA Middleweight World Title for failing to make weight, will look to again earn the belt in his next appearance.

 

“I was my own worst enemy. It was how I performed. He didn’t throw anything at me that I wasn’t ready for. I was just trying to tough through the injury. I had to tough it out and come out with the victory,” Halsey said.

 

"Naturligvis, you want to be as dominant as possible. I just felt like I couldn’t explode through my combinations or explode through the fight and finish how I wanted to. But like I said, you’ve got to deal with adversity, and I did it the best I could,” Halsey continued.

 

“I learned my lesson. I thank Bellator. I apologize to the commission. It’s unprofessional not to make weight. Ingen undskyldninger, but anybody knows that it’s hard to cut weight with an injury. The belt’s just a decoration, so I’m still the champ in my eyes. No one has taken the belt from me.”

 

I nattens co-main event, former Bellator MMA Bantamweight World Champion Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas (17-4), of Rio de Janeiro, Brasilien, took a step toward another shot at the title with a hard-fought decision victory over the hard-hitting Mike “The Marine” Richman, of Rose Mount, Fra.

 

While Richman showed excellent takedown defense throughout the 15-minute affair, Dantas’ work rate helped him earn the favor of the judges. Constantly pressing and looking to bring the fight to the floor, Dantas was able to just edge out Richman on the cards, 29-28 according to all three officials.

 

“I went out there and fought the way I trained to fight,” Dantas said after the win. “I knew Mike Richman was going to come with everything, but I wanted to win this fight and get back to the title. The only fight that makes sense next is for the title.

 

In a welterweight contest, Fernando “Den Menifee Maniac” Gonzalez (24-13), of Menifee, Calif., scored a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over “Curtious” Curtis Millender (7-2), af San Bernardino, Calif.

 

With Millender enjoying a six-inch height advantage, the smaller Gonzalez struggled to score points in the first two rounds. But when the fight hit the floor in the third, Gonzalez latched onto a guillotine choke and earned a tap from his opponent at the 1:14 af den sidste runde.

 

“Jeg er 4-0 lige nu,” Gonzalez said after the win. “That’s one step closer to the title, and I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with whoever is next.”

 

With the result, Gonzalez now boasts four-straight Bellator MMA victories and put himself in line for a potential shot at the promotion’s Welterweight Title.

 

In the night’s first main-card matchup, ubesejret udsigt Darrion “Ulven” Caldwell (7-0), of Rahway, N.J., used a superior wrestling game to outwork more experienced opponent Rafael “Morcego” Silva (22-5), of Lajes, Brasilien, en route a unanimous-decision victory.

 

With Caldwell scoring takedowns throughout the matchup, Silva looked for submissions when available, but he simply couldn’t find the necessary hold to work past his opponent’s defense. I stedet, Caldwell kept his pressure high, and judges awarded him the fight, 29-28 på alle tre kort.

 

After the victory, Caldwell made it clear he’s clearing his way to a shot at the Bellator MMA World Title.

 

“I don’t think there are any fighters out there as explosive as me at 135 pounds, or as fast,” Caldwell said. “Til sidst, I’ll be able to prove that.”

 

In the night’s final preliminary bout, Guam’s Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1) scored a third-round knockout of Mexico’s Antonio Duarte (18-6).

 

Derudover, fjerlette udsigten Jordan Parsons (11-1), San Diego, Calif., earned a third-round decision win over the previously undefeated Brazilian Julio Cesar Neves Jr. (30-1).

 

På en lys sværvægter konkurrence, Virgil Zwicker (14-4-1), of Temecula, Calif., earned a first-round knockout win over Razak Al-Hassan (12-5), Milwaukee, Wisc.

 

And in the night’s first fight, Ricky “Sniper” Rainey (11-3), of Gastonia, N.C., earned a second-round knockout win over Jessie Juarez (22-10), af Torrance, Calif.
