HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, en high-stakes letvægts opgør, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 34 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. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Fredag, 2nd marts at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. 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 letvægts VM til Minnetonka Ballroom inde i nye Mystic Lake Center på LFA 34”, Erklærede Soares. “Vi havde fire fantastiske begivenheder på Mystic Lake sidste år. Jeg er glad for at meddele, at LFA og Mystic Lake Casino har en aftale på plads for at producere fire levende nationalt tv MMA begivenheder på Mystic Lake verdensklasse facilitet i 2018. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we are all looking forward to watching Robert Watley defend his lightweight title against Brandon Jenkins in Minnesota on 2nd marts.”
Billetter til LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins vil være tilgængelig købes Januar 26 på MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. Manden er kendt som “Kontakt” was highly regarded on the east coast regional MMA scene before signing with LFA in 2017. His fight résumé consisted of multiple regional titles and a seven-fight win streak. That earned him an immediate shot at the inaugural LFA lightweight title against the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés at LFA 17. The Maryland native shut down the RFA champion on every score card. Watley then punctuated his championship reign with a dominant TKO victory over Daryl Wilson in his first title defense at LFA 27 i november. The champ now has his sights set on picking up his tenth straight victory and second successful title defense at LFA 34.
Jenkins (11-5) tog sin skud på LFA guld efter at have vundet en af ​​de mest mindeværdige kampe i 2017. Manden er kendt som “The Human Highlight Reel” added further proof to that nickname with his three round thriller against Carl Wittstock at LFA 29. Jenkins battered his foe in a highly entertaining affair that many fans and pundits considered a “Fight of the Year” nominerede. Den sejr afsluttet en vellykket 2017 for Mystic Lake sikkerhedsvagt, der startede med en TKO sejr over Billy Christianson på LFA 2. Interessant, den enlige tilbagegang på året kom på score kort af LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, den lokale favorit faldt en split beslutning i sin hjemby. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Nu har han sine seværdigheder indstillet på LFA guld på LFA 34.
Co-main event af LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) gjort en stor erklæring i sin LFA debut på LFA 20 sidste sommer, da han stoppede RFA dyrlæge Carl Wittstock via Rear Naked Choke inde i de første to minutter af første runde. The Minnesotan set up the submission with a barrage of strikes that thrilled his home state fans. Perzynski now looks to repeat that feat with a man who made an equally impressive LFA debut just seven days after him last summer.
Ogden (9-2) behov for mindre end en halv runde på LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, ligesom Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. Den sejr kom mod T.J. Brown og oprette et opgør med en mand, der gjorde en næsten identisk salgsfremmende debut. The Kansas City based fighter Ogden now meets Perzynski in the co-main event of LFA 34. The winner is looking to gain separation in a highly competitive and deep LFA lightweight division.
The main card of LFA 34 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer “Maskinpistol” Kelly Kobold. Efter en seks og et halvt års pause fra sporten, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) er en af ​​de mest respekterede kvinder i sporten. Hun har haft en strålende professionel MMA karriere, der daterer sig tilbage næsten seksten år. A true pioneer for women’s MMA, Kobold returned to the sport against Christine Stanley in a bout that was ruled a draw at LFA 20. Now she is back and ready to stake a claim at the top of the LFA women’s flyweight division at LFA 34.
