Las Vegas, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will crown an interim featherweight champion when the promotion returns to Dallas in August.

 

 

The main event of LFA 47 will feature an interim featherweight title bout when former LFA featherweight title challenger DamonThe LeechJackson battles fellow top contenderNastyNate Jennerman. LFA 47 – Jackson vs. Jennerman takes place this Friday, August 10th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Oo dhan kaarka ugu weyn ee la nool telefishanka doonaa oo dalka oo dhan ku TV AXS at 9 p.m. IYO / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

LFA featherweight champion Kevin Aguilar recently got the opportunity to compete for a UFC contract,” Sheegay Soares. “Damon Jackson and Nate Jennerman are the two winningest featherweights in LFA history. They will compete for the LFA interim featherweight title on August 10th. LFA started at The Bomb Factory at LFA 1 by unifying the Legacy FC and RFA bantamweight titles. In May, we unified our featherweight title in the same venue. Now we will continue our exciting history in Dallas at LFA 47.

 

 

Tickets for LFA 47 – Jackson vs. Jennerman are available for purchase NOW at TheBombFactory.com.

 

 

Jackson (15-2-1) heads into this title fight looking to capture LFA gold that eluded him the first time he competed for it at LFA 4. The former Legacy FC featherweight champion and three-time UFC veteran came up short against Kevin Aguilar that night, but has since strung together four consecutive submission victories inside the LFA Octagon. The NAIA All-American wrestler currently has the most wins in LFA history (5 guul) and will look to continue his dominance and position himself for one of two preferred outcomes with a title win at LFA 47. That would be either a rematch with Aguilar or a return trip to the UFC.

 

 

Jennerman (12-3) is the only man to experience a similar level of success as Jackson since the merger of Legacy FC and RFA created LFA in January 2017. The Roufusport product is currently tied with LFA flyweight champion Maikel Perez for second most wins in LFA history (4 guul) and will look to tie the promotion’s wins leader Jackson by defeating the man himself. Haddii “Nasty Nate” guul ay soo gudbinta, he will also tie Jackson’s record for most submission wins in LFA history (5 submission wins). Waxa ka muhiimsan, Jennerman will capture prestigious LFA championship gold against his toughest opponent to date.

EWER AND HALL ON COLLISION COURSE FOR NEF 35 IN BANGOR

Maine (July 13, 2018) - Dagaaladu New England (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” on September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Goor hore oo maanta, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. CJ Ewer (3-1) ayaa lagu wadaa in ay la kulmaan Kaaleeb Hall (1-0) miisaan dagaalka ee 155-pounds ah.

Ewer headlined the previous NEF card in Bangor with a win over Mike Hansen (5-9) last August to claim the professional middleweight title of the promotion. Horaantii sanadkaan, he tried to become the first multi-division champion in NEF history when he met Kemran Lachinov (5-2) for the welterweight strap. It was not to be, Si kastaba ha ahaatee, as Ewer suffered his first professional loss that February evening atNEF 32. A member of Bangor’s Young’s MMA who proudly serves his country with the United States Air Force security forces, Ewer will look to rebound from that loss against Hall this September.

Caleb has improved exponentially every single fight, and he looked amazing his last fight,” said Ewer of his opponent. “Caleb will go very far in this sport, but I am going to make sure he doesnā€™t do it at my expense. Itā€™s going to be a very tough, very exciting fight for sure.

Caleb Hall surprised many fans when he arrived forNEF 33weigh-ins this spring. The one-time amateur featherweight titleholder looked like a monster version of his former self after bulking up with ten pounds of muscle for his professional debut at lightweight. The next night, Hall squeezed the proverbial life out of rugged veteran John Ortolani (8-13) with a Von Flue choke to pick up his first pro victory. The impressive performance sent a message to the New England MMA scene that Hall had indeed arrived in the pro ranks. Hall is a product of the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine and a two-time state wrestling champion out of Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine.

I am looking forward to making another statement with a win over Ewer in his hometown,” stated Hall. “He’s a tough fighter, and I can’t wait to get in there and fight.

Haddii ay dhacdo isku dhafan-martial arts-xiga NEF ee, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.

BANGOR FAN FAVORITES WILL DO BATTLE ON NEF 35 KAARKA ladagaalanka

Bangor, Maine (July 12, 2018) - Dagaaladu New England (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” on September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Goor hore oo maanta, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jon Lemke (7-8) la kulmi doona Aaron “Hagar” Lacey (5-2) miisaan dagaalka ee 155-pounds ah.

Lemke is an eleven-fight veteran of the NEF cage and a perennial top contender in the promotion’s lightweight division. A member of Titan Athletics based in neighboring Brewer, Maine, Lemke has developed a massive following out of the Bangor area. He is a four-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. One of the highlights of Lemke’s career was scoring a victory over Jesse Erickson (9-7) before a nationally televised audience on the NEF co-promoted Bellator 93 event in Lewiston, Maine. He is coming off a unanimous decision win against Josh LaBerge (11-7) in Rhode Island last fall.

It is with great excitement and anticipation that I step back into the NEF cage to fight in front of my hometown friends and fans,” ayaa sheegay in Lemke. “It is with equal enthusiasm that I fight Aaron Lacey, who is one of the best fighters in New England. This is going to be an absolute battle that fans will not want to miss.

For Lacey, the bout with Lemke will be the first time he has fought in the lightweight division since his amateur career. Lacey was victorious over Dom Cofone (6-6) in a 150-pound catchweight contest in the spring of 2014. Tan iyo markii dagaalka in, Lacey has competed nine timesall in the 145-pound featherweight division. The fight with Lemke presents an opportunity for Lacey to once again compete before his hometown fans and friends in the Queen City. A member of Bangor’s Young’s MMA, Lacey was scheduled to appear on NEF’s previous event at the Cross Insurance Center in the summer of 2017, but his opponent was forced out of the bout just hours prior to bell time when it was discovered that he was serving a medical suspension for a boxing loss in another jurisdiction. Lacey will look to bounce back from a loss to top prospect Da’Mon Blackshear (5-1) bishii la soo dhaafay ee “NEF 34in Portland, Maine.

ā€œIā€™m so excited to be fighting in Bangor,” xadeen Lacey. Last time I was slated to fight in Bangor it did not work out. My dagaalka ee la soo dhaafay (Blackshear) didnā€™t go my way, and Iā€™m looking to fix some mistakes this fight. It wonā€™t be easy for him. He will suffer, and I will test and then break his will! Bangor is my home, and I will defend it.

FNU Sports dagaalanka Show: Uerc Night Night Recap, Pacquiao vs. Matthysse still on, “Big Rig” Retires

This week on the FNU Combat Sports Show, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 GunsWright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Among the news we touch on:

The rumors about Manny Pacquiao’s next fight with Lucas Matthysse being in jeopardy, Manny and his team say everything is on track.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks retires (also forgot to mention Rashad Evans retired as well).

 

The latest cast for The Contender Series, set to return this August featuring 16 up and coming young boxers in the 160-pound division.

 

Lyoto Machida’s defection from the UFC to Bellator and Bellator’s blockbuster deal with DAZN, a streaming service working to take over new markets this year, including the US and Italy.
