LAS VEGAS, 内华达 – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to southern California in July with an intriguing welterweight showdown headlining LFA 45.

 

 

 

LFA的重头戏 45 will feature the LFA debut of 15-time UFC veteran Erick Silva. He will face 3-time LFA headliner Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 45 – 席尔瓦VS. Barnes takes place Friday, July 20th at the Morongo Outdoor Pavilion at the Morongo Casino, 度假村 & Spa in Cabazon, 加利福尼亚州. 整个主卡将被电视直播，并在全国范围AXS电视上的 10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT.

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA back to Coachella Valley at LFA 45”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “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.”

 

 

 

LFA 门票 45 – 席尔瓦VS. Barnes will be available for purchase at noon PST on Tuesday June 19th via Tick​​etmaster.com.

 

 

 

席尔瓦 (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 “夜扑灭” 三次, “提交夜” 两次, 和 “当晚表演” 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, 迈克·罗兹, 贾森高, and Charlie Brenneman during his tenure with the promotion. 现在 “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, “凤凰” will look to rise again at LFA 45. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, California home, 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.

LAS VEGAS, 内华达 – 传统格斗联盟 (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 with an action-packed event in southern California.
LFA的重头戏 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 30 – Millender VS. Barnes takes place 星期五, January 12th at the Costa Mesa Hall at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, 加利福尼亚州. LFA全主卡 30 – Millender VS. Barnes will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 P.M. AND / 7 P.M. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 by bringing LFA back to southern California”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headlining bouts where they won in enemy territory. Now they get to face each other in the main event of LFA 30 on their home turf in a perfect headliner to start the new year.”
LFA 门票 30 – Millender VS. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at CageTix.com/LFA.
边角料 (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. 巴恩斯, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner this past August at LFA 20.
While the main event will feature a rivalry between two of the top welterweights in LFA, the co-main event will feature a rivalry between two of the LFA featherweight division’s most talented jiu-jitsu practitioners.
Fernando Padilla (10-1) put the division on notice in October, when he submitted longtime RFA vet Darrick Minner with a Triangle-Armbar in the first round of their co-main event bout at LFA 25. 帕迪拉, who is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, has now won 90% of his fights by first round stoppage. He will now face a man equally dangerous on the ground when he meets Talison Soares (9-2) in the co-main event of LFA 30. Soares is a jiu-jitsu black belt from the famed Checkmat BJJ team who has made a name for himself competing in his native Brazil. Soares has a 100% finishing rate in the nine bouts he has won and will now make his international debut in the co-main event of LFA 30.

LAS VEGAS, 内华达 – 传统格斗联盟 (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 有 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, 亚利桑那, and Louisiana.

LFA的重头戏 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 30 – Millender VS. Barnes takes place 星期五, 1月12日 at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, 加利福尼亚州.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. 在主要事件, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “狼人” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place 星期五, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, 亚利桑那.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. 在主要事件, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. 在共顶篷, red-hot Ryan “超人” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place 星期五, January 26th 在掘金酒店在 & 赌场在查尔斯湖, 路易斯安那州.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on 1月12日. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
边角料 (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. 巴恩斯, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
LFA的重头戏 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. 在纸上, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. 然而, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. 莫菲特, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). The man known as “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
LFA联合主赛事 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “超人” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 分钟和 28 秒.
九月 2016, Legacy FC 和 RFA 官员宣布，他们将合并成立综合武术领域首屈一指的发展组织 (MMA) 一月开始 2017. Legacy FC 和 RFA 已经开启了超过 150 已经通过在UFC的竞争达到了MMA的巅峰运动员.

LFA LAUNCHING PAD: LFA SENDS 9 FIGHTERS TO UFC IN 30 DAYS

发表评论
THE SUMMER OF LFA

LFA ALUM IMPRESS IN THE UFC:
TITLE SHOTS, BONUSES and RECORD BREAKERS
4 SHOWS 在 4 WEEKS:
LFA SET TO VISIT 4 STATES 在 4 WEEKS
HOUSTON, 得克萨斯州 – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) has had a busy summer. In last month’s newsletter, it was reported that LFA alum accumulated $200,000 in UFC bonus money in the month of June, former RFA headliner Zach Freeman secured an “Upset of the Year” nominee in New York City, and three inaugural LFA titles were awarded to get the summer started.

LFA LAUNCHING PAD
The summer continued to heat up in July. The UFC hosted 5 events along with the first 3 episodes of UFC President Dana White’s new weekly web series titled “Dana White’s 星期二 Night Contender Series” throughout the month.
The number of LFA alum that participated in those events was staggering. 19 fighters that have fought for LFA or the two promotions that merged to create it (RFA 和 Legacy FC) competed in the UFC. UFC 213 headliner Valentina Shevchenko would have made that 20 战士, but Amanda Nunes withdrew from their title fight on the day of the fight.
The presence of LFA alum on Dana White’s new show was just as impressive. In the first three episodes that aired in July, 17 的 30 竞争者 (56.6%) had previously competed for LFA, RFA, or Legacy FC. Each of the three episodes also featured two “LFA vs. LFA” 火柴. The most impressive stat, 然而, is the fact that an LFA fighter was signed by Dana White off of each episode.
That trend carried over into August with a fourth LFA fighter being signed to the UFC off of the fourth episode of “Dana White’s 星期二 Night Contender Series”. The four LFA stars signed off of the show so far are Boston Salmon (周 1), Sean O’Malley (周 2), 杰夫·尼尔 (周 3), and Julian Marquez (周 4). There are currently 32 fighters from LFA scheduled to compete on the星期二 might summer series. LFA also currently has 19 alum ranked in the latest UFC fighter rankings.
LFA ALUM IMPRESS IN THE UFC
While former LFA fighters impressed in the UFC last month with the sheer number of participants, what they accomplished in those bouts is even more important. Perhaps the biggest shining star of the bunch was former RFA featherweight champion Brian Ortega. The man known as “T-City” improved his perfect record to 12-0 and saw his UFC fighter ranking move up to #6 在世界上.
Ortega did this by breaking his own UFC record at UFC 214 on July 29th. Going into his bout with fellow unbeaten star Renato Moicano, Ortega held the UFC record for most consecutive third round finishes. He extended that streak by submitting Moicano in the final frame with a $50,000 UFC “当晚表演” bonus winning Guillotine Choke.
以下 星期六 在UFC搏击之夜 114, RFA great Dustin Ortiz broke another UFC record to secure his own $50,000 UFC “当晚表演” 奖金. Ortiz accomplished this feat by knocking out Hector Sandoval in 15-seconds to record the fastest finish in UFC flyweight history. His teammate and former RFA flyweight champion Sergio Pettis happened to headline the same card. Pettis won his marquee bout against Brandon Moreno unanimously in a pivotal battle between two Top 10 ranked UFC flyweights.
The UFC will be off for the next few weeks, but September looks to be just as big for the LFA greats competing inside the famed UFC Octagon. UFC 215 上 September 9th will feature two LFA alum challenging for UFC world titles. Legacy FC great Ray Borg will headline the card for a shot at the UFC flyweight title, while Shevchenko will finally get a crack at the UFC women’s bantamweight title in the co-main event. Seven other LFA alum have UFC bouts already announced for next month as well.
4 SHOWS 在 4 WEEKS
LFA started August with the first title defense in the promotion’s history. Two of the inaugural LFA champions that were just crowned in June (Eryk Anders and Roberto Sanchez) have already made their UFC debut, but LFA featherweight champion Kevin “Angel of Death” Aguilar was able to defend his title in the main event of LFA 18 过去的这个 星期五. He did so by sweeping the scorecards against a very game challenger in #1 contender and world-class BJJ black belt Justin Rader.
LFA is now set to end the summer with four shows in four weeks in four different states. The quadruple-header starts next week in South Dakota at LFA 19. The promotion then heads east to Minnesota the following week at LFA 20. LFA kicks off first day of September in Missouri at LFA 21. Then the final leg of the four week trip will go down in Colorado at LFA 22.
LFA 19 – Michaud vs. Rodrigues 发生 星期五, 8月18日 在桑福德五角大楼苏福尔斯, 南达科他州. The event will serve as the second LFA event to take place in the state of South Dakota. RFA visited “在拉什莫尔山国家” four times before the merger. LFA 19 is headlined with a welterweight war between three-time UFC vet David “Bulldawg” Michaud (11-3) and Brazilian powerhouse Ciro “坏男孩” Rodrigues (20-7).

HOUSTON, 得克萨斯州 – 传统格斗联盟 (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.
LFA的重头戏 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes takes place 星期五, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, 明尼苏达州. 整个主卡将被电视直播，并在全国范围AXS电视上的 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “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.”
LFA 门票 20 – Curry vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at 神秘湖网站.
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. 事实上, 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.
巴恩斯 (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 “凤凰” 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.
LFA联合主赛事 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up between two of the promotion’s top featherweightcontenders. 鲍比 “狼人” 莫菲特 (9-2) 和 “Nasty” 内特·詹纳曼 (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. 与此同时, 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. After a six and a half year hiatus from the sport, she will take on knockout artist Christine “指关节” Stanley.
Kobold (18-3-1) is one of the most respected women in the sport. 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. “指关节” 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.
