HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy-Kampf-Allianz (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, ein High-Stakes leichte Showdown, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

Das Hauptereignis des LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Kontakt” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 leichte Anwärter Brandon “The Human Highlight Reel” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Freitag, 2. März at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Die gesamte Hauptkarte wird live im Fernsehen übertragen und bundesweit auf AXS TV an werden 9 p.m. UND / 6 p.m. PT.
“Ich bin gespannt auf die LFA leichte Weltmeisterschaft auf den Minnetonka Ballroom in dem neuen Mystic Lake Center in LFA 34 zu bringen”, Erklärte Soares. “Wir hatten vier fantastische Events in Mystic Lake im letzten Jahr. Ich bin glücklich, zu verkünden, dass LFA und Mystic Lake Casino eine Vereinbarung an den richtigen Stelle in Mystic Lake Weltklasse-Anlage vier Live landesweit im Fernsehen MMA Ereignisse zu erzeugen, in 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 2. März.”
Tickets für LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins wird zum Kauf angeboten zur Verfügung Januar 26 bei MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. Der Mann bekannt als “Kontakt” 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 im November. 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) bei LFA Gold verdient sein Schuss nach einem der denkwürdigsten Kämpfe gewinnen von 2017. Der Mann bekannt als “The Human Highlight Reel” 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 “Kampf des Jahres” Kandidat. Der Sieg absolvierte eine erfolgreiche 2017 für die Mystic Lake Wachmann, die begann mit einem TKO Sieg über Billy Christianson an LFA 2. Interessant, der einsame Rückschlag des Jahres kam auf den Scorekarten von LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, der lokale Favorit fiel eine getrennte Entscheidung in seiner Heimatstadt. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Jetzt hat er seinen Blick auf LFA-Gold an LFA gesetzt 34.
Der Co-Main Event von LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) eine große Aussage in seinem LFA Debüt an LFA gemacht 20 letzten Sommer, als er anhielt RFA Tierarzt Carl Wittstock über Rear Naked Choke innerhalb der ersten zwei Minuten der ersten Runde. 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) benötigt weniger als eine halbe Runde auf LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, wie Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. Der Sieg kam gegen T. J. Brown und einen Showdown mit einem Mann aufgebaut, die ein fast identisches Werbe-Debüt. 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 “Maschinengewehr” Kelly Kobold. Nach sechseinhalb Jahren Pause vom Sport, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) ist einer der angesehensten Frauen im Sport. Sie hat eine illustre professionelle MMA-Karriere genossen, die wieder fast 16 Jahre Daten. 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 – Legacy-Kampf-Allianz (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma in November.
Das Hauptereignis des LFA 27 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert Watley. He will put his title on the line against LFA lightweight #1 contender Daryl Wilson in battle between two of the hottest 155-pound prospects in MMA.

Die gesamte Hauptkarte wird live im Fernsehen übertragen und bundesweit auf AXS TV an werden 9 p.m. UND / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA is bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma at LFA 27,” Erklärte Soares. “Robert Watley is the LFA lightweight world champion and one of the top prospects in the sport. He won the title by defeating the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés at LFA 17. Watley will now defend his title for the first time against Daryl Wilson, who earned his title shot with a highlight reel 64-second knockout of Jarrod Card at LFA 18.”
Tickets für LFA 27 – Watley vs. Wilson are available for purchase NOW at FireLakeArena.com. You can also support your favorite fighter by purchasing your ticket through CombatTickets.com and selecting their name at checkout.
Watley (8-1) was considered one of the top lightweight prospects in the sport before signing with LFA earlier this year. His fight résumé consisted of multiple regional titles throughout the east coast and an impressive seven-fight win streak. That earned him an immediate shot at the inaugural LFA lightweight title against the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés in the main event of LFA 17 im Juli. The Maryland native capitalized on that opportunity by shutting down the highly-touted RFA champion on every score card en route to his eighth consecutive victory. Watley now looks to put a stamp on his divisional dominance with his first title defense at LFA 27.
Wilson (7-1) is a home grown Oklahoma talent that made his pro debut for Legacy FC two years ago after competing twice for the organization as an amateur. Im August, he made his LFA debut at LFA 18 on the heels of four straight wins. He fought longtime Oklahoma City lightweight standout Jarrod Card and needed only 64-seconds to dispatch the former Bellator fighter. Wilson stopped the 11-year MMA vet Card with a stunning one-punch KO that is now a popular pick for “KO des Jahres”. Noch wichtiger ist, that KO catapulted him to #1 contender status. The Sapulpa, Oklahoma native will now get a shot at the title in front of his home crowd in the main event of LFA 27.
Der Co-Main Event von LFA 27 will feature a long-awaited showdown between two of the biggest names in the LFA light-heavyweight division. Myron Dennis (15-6) returns to the LFA Octagon against Ryan Spann (11-5), who is the man he was originally scheduled to face in the main event of LFA 9 im April. Spann was injured while training for that fight and Dennis ended up fighting Brazilian standout Danilo Marques instead. The change of opponent did not change Dennis’ desired outcome as the former Legacy FC light-heavyweight champion picked up the hard fought decision win. Spann fought less than two weeks ago at LFA 23 and earned arguably the biggest win of his career. Spann battered LeMarcus Tucker before choking him out via Rear Naked Choke in Round 1. Now the table is set for Dennis and Spann to meet once and for all at LFA 27.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy-Kampf-Allianz (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will crown its inaugural lightweight champion in July when the promotion makes its first visit to North Carolina.
Das Hauptereignis des LFA 17 will feature the inaugural LFA lightweight world title fight between the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés and regional kingpin Robert Watley . LFA 17 – Moisés vs.. Watley takes place Freitag, 21. Juli at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Die gesamte Hauptkarte wird live im Fernsehen übertragen und bundesweit auf AXS TV an werden 9 p.m. UND / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA will crown its first lightweight champion at LFA 17 in North Carolina,” Erklärte Soares. “Thiago Moisés is one of the most dominant champions in RFA history and Robert Watley has won multiple regional titles on the east coast. I am excited to see these two proud champions face off for the inaugural LFA lightweight title on 21. Juli.”
Tickets für LFA 17 – Moisés vs.. Watley are available for purchase NOW. Sie können Ihren Lieblingskämpfer unterstützen, indem Sie Ihre Tickets über kaufen CrownTickets.com and selecting their name at checkout.
Moisés (9-1) is one of the most dominant champions in RFA history. This is a promotion that has sent champions such as Sergio Pettis, Pedro Munhoz, and Brian Ortega to the UFC. The 22-year-old Brazilian dominated in all four of his RFA fights, but his title winning performance at RFA 35 is perhaps the most memorable. Moisés utilized an ultra-rare Helicopter Armbar to submit David Castillo to capture the vacant title. Highlights of the submission went viral and he was subsequently nominated for “Submission of the Year” at the annual World MMA Awards in Las Vegas. Moisés then defended his title twice and was featured on Dana White: Lookin’ For A Fight during his first title defense. He is now looking to add the inaugural LFA lightweight title to his ever-growing list of accomplishments.
Watley (7-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect on the east coast. The Maryland native is currently riding a seven-fight win streak that has wreaked havoc along the eastern seaboard to the point that movie buffs are now looking to amend the famous quote from Wedding Crashers: “Crabcakes, Football, and MMA. That’s what Maryland does!” Watley is looking to win a third MMA title in four consecutive title fights. Jedoch, this will be the most prestigious title that he has vied for and he sees the LFA title as his proof that he his the undisputed top lightweight prospect in the sport. The surging Baltimore battering ram put the “harm” in Charm City and now looks to do the same further south as he heads to North Carolina to fight for the inaugural LFA lightweight tile.
Der Co-Main Event von LFA 17 will feature a heated border war and long-awaited rematch between top bantamweight prospects from North Carolina and Virginia, when Dylan Cala (5-1) looks to avenge the lone loss on his record against longtime rival Tony Gravely (9-4). Cala is a highly-touted prospect from “The Tar Heel State”. He is looking to defend his home turf and even the score against the only man to defeat him. That man would be Gravely, who is an NCAA Division I wrestler who grew up just north of the border in Virginia.
In the women’s bantamweight division, Alexa Conners (4-1) returns to the LFA Octagon after an exciting and triumphant performance at LFA 8. That bout served as the first televised MMA fight to take place in her home state of South Carolina. The 26-year-old now heads north of the border where she will welcome one of Brazil’s top female prospects to the Carolinas.
Talita de Oliveira (5-1) has competed five times in her native Brazil and once in Europe. Her most recent bout was a first round win in Poland, which took place one day after Conners’ most recent bout at LFA 8. The 30-year-old Brazilian submission expert is now set to make her North American debut against one of the division’s top American prospects as she faces Conners at LFA 17.
LFA 17 will also feature the promotional debut of Nathan “Chaos” Maness (8-0), who is one of the top bantamweight prospects in the country. The 25-year-old regional champion is widely considered one of the south’s most promising talents. After the first two opponents he signed on to face withdrew due to various reasons, the third scheduled opponent is expected to be named soon.
