LAS VEGAS, 內華達 – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to southern California in July with an intriguing welterweight showdown headlining LFA 45.
The main event of LFA 45 will feature the LFA debut of 15-time UFC veteran Erick Silva. He will face 3-time LFA headliner Nick “The Phoenix” 巴恩斯. LFA 45 – 席爾瓦VS. Barnes takes place Friday, July 20th at the Morongo Outdoor Pavilion at the Morongo Casino, 度假村 & Spa in Cabazon, 加利福尼亞州. 整個主卡將被電視直播，並在全國范圍AXS電視上的 10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT.
“I am excited to bring LFA back to Coachella Valley at LFA 45”, 規定蘇亞雷斯. “This will be our fourth show in my home state of California. Morongo Casino, 度假村 & Spa is a world-class 4-diamond establishment and we look forward to returning in July with an explosive main event between Erick Silva and Nick Barnes.”
Tickets for LFA 45 – 席爾瓦VS. Barnes will be available for purchase at noon PST on Tuesday June 19th via Ticketmaster.com.
席爾瓦 (19-9) makes his LFA debut eager to get back to his winning ways after spending the last seven years fighting in the UFC. The fifteen-time UFC vet became one of the sport’s most popular fighters due to his dynamic fighting style, which earned him UFC bonuses in nearly half of his bouts for the promotion. Silva won “夜撲滅” 三次, “提交夜” 兩次, 和 “Performance of the Night” twice during his time in the UFC. The Jiu-Jitsu and Judo black belt and former UFC headliner also picked up notable submission victories over Josh Koscheck, Luan Chagas, Mike Rhodes, 賈森高, and Charlie Brenneman during his tenure with the promotion. 現在 “老虎” from Brazil looks to pounce once more in the main event of LFA 45.
巴恩斯 (12-3) returns to the LFA Octagon for his third straight promotional main event dating back to the RFA days. This will also be his fourth straight fight for the promotion with the first two coming under the RFA banner. After alternating results in his first four fights with the promotion, “The Phoenix” will look to rise again at LFA 45. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, 加利福尼亞的家中, has long been considered one of the sport’s top welterweight prospects located in talent-rich southern California. Barnes will look to impress once more in front of a largely pro-Barnes crowd in sunny southern California, but this time around he has upped the ante by signing on to face the biggest name opponent of his career in the main event of LFA 45.
