“I am excited to bring LFA to Fresno at LFA 51”, Deklare Soares. “This will be our fifth show in my home state of California. The Central Valley has great fight fans and a lot of MMA talent. We look forward to packing the Selland Arena on September 28th with a fantastic fight card headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between champion Sabina Mazo and top contender Jaimee Nievera.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 51 – Mazo vs. Nievera are available for purchase NOW at Ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Mazo (5-0) is the 21-year-old LFA women’s flyweight champion that took the MMA world by storm in 2017. The Colombian wunderkind signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and quickly burst onto the global scene 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. Nan “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 51.

 

 

 

Nievera (7-4) earned her shot at LFA gold this past June with a dominant LFA debut win against the 2016 RFA Fans’ Choice Awards “Prospect pou Ane a” winner Katy Collins. The unanimous decision win came in Collins’ hometown of Branson, Missouri at LFA 42 just a few months after Collins had been ranked #4 on AXS TV’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound rankings. The win immediately caught the attention of UFC matchmakers and Nievera was offered a main event spot on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series against Antonina Shevchenko. The 33-year-old Bellator veteran showed her gameness by accepting the fight on a week’s notice against Shevchenko, who is an undefeated MMA prospect, Muay Thai world champion, and the older sister of UFC #1 contender Valentina Shevchenko. Nievera displayed a ton of heart and skill, but did not get the result she wanted. The Union City, California native now has a chance to flip the script with a title winning performance in front of her home crowd at LFA 51.

The promoter plans to keep the card intact, as much as possible, and he is hopeful that Ajtai is available to challenge Hernandez for the IBA Americas title.
“Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing, but the good news is that Nico will be 100-percent ready to go February 10th,” pwomotè John Andersen di. “I know that Nico feels that he’s letting everybody down but, at the end of the day, all that really counts is his health. He’s a tough kid who has his entire pro career ahead of him.”

PARK CITY, Kansas (Novanm 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Little Wouj” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.

pral aksyon an dwe kole ap viv pou ond lavni sou CBS Espò Rezo.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Ko), batay soti nan Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 dosye, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympic jwèt nan peyi Brezil. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, sepandan, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, ki moun ki se yon ane ak sis jou ki gen mwens pase Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 Ko) has already had 28 pro batay, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, ansyen Boksè mondyal la Òganizasyon (WBO) Mouch chanpyon nan lemonn. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Espay, Almay, Ikrèn ak Slovaki. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Sa a se yon gwo opòtinite pou m '. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (vs. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. ak, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, nan kou, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, li te vini pou pou genyen!
“Nico pa pral konnen ki kote mwen pral nan bag la,” Ajtai prevwa. “Lè li sanble nan bò gòch la pou m ', Mwen pral a dwat a; lè li ap eseye jwenn mwen sou bò dwat la, Mwen pral sou bò gòch la. Lè li vle pran yon ti repo, Mwen pral vini pou pi devan pwensonaj; lè li vle kout pyen, li pa pral jwenn mwen.
“Mwen gen yon plan pou sa a batay ak mwen si ke li fè sa ki osi byen. Men,, nan bag la, sèlman plan yon sèl avyon de gè nan ka reyisi. Li k ap pase yo dwe yon batay la byen mennen, men mwen pa ka pwomèt piblik la ke Nico yo pral gayan an.”
The full “Gold & Glory” card will be announced later this week. Tout batay ak avyon de gè yo sijè a chanjman.

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Oktòb 23, 2017) – 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Samdi, Desanm 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “Little Wouj” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (Iba) Flyweight Championship, headlining “KO lannwit boksè: Gold & Glory” nan Hartman Arena nan Park City, Kansas.

The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Ko), batay soti nan Wichita, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 liv. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 ak 59-55 de fwa.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 Ko) has already had 28 pro batay, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, ansyen Boksè mondyal la Òganizasyon (WBO) Mouch chanpyon nan lemonn.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ pwomotè John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) di. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 liv.
“Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. In the flyweight division, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.”
“We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges te ajoute. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future. His amateur pedigree speaks for itself and we’re very happy to have this young man fighting for the IBA Americas title.”
