HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, un high-stakes prova di forza leggera, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

L'evento principale della LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Contatto” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 leggero contendente Brandon “Il Highlight Reel umana” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Venerdì, 2 marzo at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“Sono entusiasta di portare il campionato del mondo leggero LFA alla sala da ballo Minnetonka all'interno del nuovo Mystic Lake Center presso LFA 34”, Dichiarato Soares. “Abbiamo avuto quattro eventi fantastici al Mystic Lake lo scorso anno. Sono felice di annunciare che LFA e Mystic Lake Casino hanno un accordo in atto per produrre quattro dal vivo eventi MMA televisivi a livello nazionale alla struttura di classe mondiale di Mystic Lake 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 marzo.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins sarà disponibile disponibile per l'acquisto Gennaio 26 a MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. L'uomo conosciuto come “Contatto” 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 nel mese di novembre. 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) guadagnato il suo colpo a LFA oro dopo aver vinto una delle battaglie più memorabili della 2017. L'uomo conosciuto come “Il Highlight Reel umana” 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 “Fight of the Year” candidato. La vittoria ha completato con successo 2017 per la guardia di sicurezza Mystic Lake, che ha iniziato con una vittoria TKO su Billy Christianson a LFA 2. È interessante notare che, la battuta d'arresto solitario dell'anno è venuto sulle carte punteggio di LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, il favorito locale sganciato una decisione spaccata nella sua città natale. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Ora ha i suoi occhi puntati sulla LFA oro alla LFA 34.
Il co-main event della LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) fatto una grande dichiarazione al suo debutto LFA alla LFA 20 la scorsa estate, quando ha smesso RFA veterinario Carl Wittstock via posteriore nuda Choke all'interno delle prime due minuti della gara di apertura. 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) necessaria meno di mezzo giro in LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, come Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. La vittoria è arrivata contro T.J. Brown e impostare una resa dei conti con un uomo che ha fatto un debutto promozionale quasi identico. 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 “Mitragliatrice” Kelly Kobold. Dopo un un anno pausa di sei e mezzo dallo sport, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Folletto (18-3-2) è una delle donne più rispettate in questo sport. Ha goduto di una illustre carriera professionale MMA che risale a quasi sedici anni. 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 Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma in November.
L'evento principale della 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. LFA 27 – Watley vs. Wilson takes place Venerdì, November 10th at the FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA is bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma at LFA 27,” Dichiarato 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 for 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 nel mese di luglio. 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. Nel mese di agosto, 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 of the Year”. Ancora più importante, 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.
Il co-main event della 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 nel mese di aprile. 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.

GRADY COLE CENTER in CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Tickets are on sale NOW through CrownTickets.com
HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (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.
L'evento principale della 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 Venerdì, July 21st at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, Carolina del Nord. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA will crown its first lightweight champion at LFA 17 in North Carolina,” Dichiarato 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 July 21st.”
Tickets for LFA 17 – Moisés vs. Watley are available for purchase NOW. You can support your favorite fighter by purchasing your tickets through 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. Tuttavia, 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.
Il co-main event della 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 “Lesione permanente” 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.
