Hubbard (9-2) returns to the LFA Octagon fresh off the most impressive win of his career. That win took place in his LFA debut in May against fellow top prospect Harvey Park. The fight took place at LFA 39 in Vail, Colorado. The resort town is over 8,000 feet above sea level and the event broke AXS TV’s record for the highest elevated event in network history. The 26-year-old Illinois native, that currently trains at Elevation Fight Team in Denver, was able to withstand the thin air and won a war of attrition against the talented New Mexico based Sheriff’s Deputy, who was riding a 7-fight win streak. Hubbard earned a shot at the vacant title with that gritty performance and will now travel back home to the Midwest with his sights set on becoming LFA’s second lightweight champion.

That came in his LFA debut in June against fellow top prospect Bobby Lee. The 27-year-old Glover Teixeira protégé stopped Lee just 21-seconds into the second round of their fight at LFA 41. The win came via Guillotine Choke after Mota battered Lee with his impressive Muay Thai arsenal. The win also came four weeks after Hubbard’s LFA debut win. Now their paths will finally meet at LFA 56 with the LFA lightweight title on the line.

Allen (9-3) returns to the LFA Octagon fresh off the most emphatic win of his career. The 22-year-old Louisianian and two-time LFA middleweight title challenger knocked out two-time Legacy FC middleweight title challenger Larry Crowe with a check hook KO that went viral in June after their headlining encounter at LFA 43. Tus txiv neej lub npe hu ua “All In” is now looking to do just that in his sixth appearance for the promotion. He also competed twice for Legacy FC before the promotion merged with RFA to create LFA and is fully aware of the stakes when he steps foot inside the LFA Octagon. His only setbacks have come to men currently competing in the UFC. The young Roufusport product has built a loyal fan base for being one of the most clinical finishers in the division. All nine of his victories have come via KO, LEEJ TWG, los yog kev mloog lus. He now hopes a third time’s a charm as he vies for LFA gold at LFA 50.

 

 

 

Hiley (7-0) will get his first LFA title shot after dominating in his first two fights for the promotion earlier this year. The 29-year-old has the same plan as Allen. He is looking to continue a proud LFA history of top middleweight prospects that win LFA titles and sign with the UFC. All four previous LFA middleweight champions have done just that. That illustrious list includes Eryk Anders, Markus Perez, Anthony Hernandez, and Ian Heinisch. “The Amazing” one looks to continue amazing LFA fight fans with his exciting skill set. Another layer of intrigue to his title fight with Allen is that both men train just a few miles from each other in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hiley represents Pura Vida, home of UFC star Zak Ottow. Meanwhile, Allen fights out of Roufusport, home to UFC star Sergio Pettis. Both Ottow and Pettis became stars in the RFA before signing with the UFC.

Los ntawm tag nrho nws cov dej num, Curran tswj tsom rau nws los tom ntej sib ntaus nrog lub txaus ntshai Melvin Blumer, “Nws yeej streak hais tagnrho, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv lub Midwest vim hais tias ib tug ntau ntawm cov hais mav koj tua yog zoo nkauj zoo xws li cov nyob rau hauv lub dag lub zog thiab txuj ci los ua, kom koj tau txais nyuaj kev sib tw thiab lub zos promoters nyob rau hauv lub Midwest yeej ib txwm nrhiav kom muab tso rau zoo fights. Ib tug txiv leej tub uas yog 11-2 (Blumer) thiab nyob rau ib tug 5-sib ntaus yeej streak yog impressive rau kuv thiab nws yog raws nraim li cas kuv xav tau.”

Curran piav ntxiv, “Kuv tsis xav mus tua ib co lub pob tw los yog tua ib tug neeg kuv paub tias kuv tau tuav. Kuv xav mus tua ib tug neeg uas yuav cam kuv thiab qhia rau kuv paub yog hais tias kuv tseem yuav nyob rau hauv qhov kev ua si los yog muab kuv txoj cai kev txiav txim zoo ntawm accomplishment yog hais tias kuv yeej, li ntawd Blumer yog ib tug zoo tus nrog sib ntaus.
