HOUSTON, Texas – Legado Combate Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, un enfrontamento de alto risco leve, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

O principal evento do LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Contacto” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 peso lixeiro Brandon “O Highlight Reel Humano” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Venres, 02 marzo at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Todo o card principal será transmitido en directo en todo o país e na TV AXS en 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“Estou animado para traer o campionato mundial de peso lixeiro LFA ao Ballroom Minnetonka dentro do novo Mystic Lake Center at LFA 34”, stated Soares. “Tivemos catro eventos fantásticos en Mystic Lake o ano pasado. Estou feliz de anunciar que LFA e Mystic Lake Casino ten un acordo en vigor para producir catro eventos en directo en rede nacional de MMA nas instalacións de clase mundial de Mystic Lake en 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 02 marzo.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins estará dispoñible dispoñible para compra Xaneiro 26 en MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. O home coñecido como “Contacto” 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 en novembro. 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) gañou a súa oportunidade de LFA ouro tras vencer unha das loitas máis memorables de 2017. O home coñecido como “O Highlight Reel Humano” 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 “Loita do Ano” persoa nomeada. A vitoria completou unha exitosa 2017 para o garda de seguridade Mystic Lake, que comezou cunha vitoria por TKO sobre Billy Christianson en LFA 2. Curiosamente, o revés solitario do ano chegou nas tarxetas de puntuación de LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, o favorito local perdeu por decisión dividida na súa cidade natal. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Agora que ten os ollos postos en LFA ouro no LFA 34.
O co-evento principal do LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) fixo unha gran declaración no seu debut LFA en LFA 20 último verán, cando deixou RFA vet Carl Wittstock vía mata-león no interior dos dous primeiros minutos da rolda de apertura. 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) necesitou menos de media un partido no LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, como Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. A vitoria veu contra T.J. Brown e configurar un enfrontamento cun home que fixo unha estrea promoción case idéntico. 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 “Machine Gun” Kelly Kobold. Despois dun seis e un hiato semestre do deporte, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) é unha das mulleres máis respectadas no deporte. Ela ten gozar dunha carreira no MMA profesional ilustre que se remonta a preto de dezaseis anos. 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.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legado Combate Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will make its third trip to Minnesota at the end of August with a welterweight headliner and the return of two revered Minnesotans.
O principal evento do LFA 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes takes place Venres, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Todo o card principal será transmitido en directo en todo o país e na TV AXS en 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, stated Soares. “We have a great history of bringing exciting fights to the area, and this card will continue that tradition. Both Curry and Barnes have shown to be aggressive, physical fighters, and I really want to see how this match up plays out. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we look forward to bringing LFA 20 to the Mystic Lake Showroom on August 25th.”
Tickets for LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.
Curry (9-1) has transformed himself from one of Minnesota’s most popular fighters to one of the sport’s most exciting and promising prospects. The man aptly known as “Blitz” has decimated his last two opponents since moving up to welterweight. De feito, all nine men that he has defeated, never saw the final round. Curry is able to do this by utilizing a unique blend of technical grappling and stout ground-and-pound. The 27-year-old Minnesotan now faces a huge test as he gets set to headline his first televised event at LFA 20.
Barnes (11-2) makes his LFA debut roughly twelve months after competing for the RFA welterweight world title. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, California home, has taken the time since that fight to strengthen his already formidable skill set. After coming up short in that title fight to a man who was then immediately signed to the UFC, the 26-year-old known as “The Phoenix” will look to live by the famous words of S.A. Sachs: “Hope rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams.” The Phoenix will look to rise again at LFA 20.
O co-evento principal do LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up between two of the promotion’s top featherweightcontenders. Policial “The Wolfman” Moffett (9-2) e “Nasty” Nate Jennerman (9-2) will face off in a high-stakes affair as the two contenders jockey for position at the top of the division. The pair of featherweight standouts share more than just identical records. They both have roots in the famed RFA promotion. Moffett who trains at The MMA LAB in Glendale, Arizona competed three times for the RFA. Entrementes, Jennerman who trains at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin finished his amateur career for the promotion.
The main card of LFA 20 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer Kelly “Blood Red” Kobold. Despois dun seis e un hiato semestre do deporte, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Knuckles” Stanley.
Kobold (18-3-1) é unha das mulleres máis respectadas no deporte. She has enjoyed an illustrious professional MMA career that dates back fifteen years. A true pioneer in women’s MMA, the warrior known as “Blood Red” has been there moving behind the scenes, cutting a bloody path through the ages until suddenly, just like that, she up and disappeared in 2011. Now she is back at 125-pounds, ready to stake a claim at the top of the division.
Stanley (5-3) will be the woman waiting to welcome Kobold back to the sport she helped pioneer. The San Diego native has built a career around an explosive striking base that has earned her a reputation as one of the most feared knockout artists in the division. The RFA vet holds one of the fastest knockouts in combat sports. That knockout came in 5-seconds with a highlight reel Flying Spinning Hook Kick back in 2014. “Knuckles” has earned four of her five wins by way of KO or TKO and now looks to pick up the biggest win of her career at LFA 20.
