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. An fear ar a dtugtar “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, WHO, nó aighneacht. 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. Idir an dá linn, 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. Hiley looks to start his own legacy at LFA 50.

HOUSTON, Texas – Oidhreacht Troid Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, ard-Geallta showdown lightweight, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

An imeacht is mó de LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Teagmháil” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 contender lightweight Brandon “An Reel Aibhsigh an Duine” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Dé hAoine, 2 Márta at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Beidh an cárta ar fad is mó a imreofar beo agus ar fud na tíre ar an AXS teilifíse ag 9 p.m. AGUS / 6 p.m. PT.
“Tá mé ar bís leis an chraobh domhan LFA lightweight a thabhairt chuig an Ballroom Minnetonka taobh istigh den nua Mystic Loch Ionad ag LFA 34”, Luaite Soares. “Bhí ceithre imeacht iontach ag Mystic Loch na bliana seo caite. Tá áthas orm a fhógairt go bhfuil LFA agus Mystic Loch Casino comhaontú ann a thabhairt ar aird ceithre imeacht MMA beo teilifís náisiúnta ag saoráid den scoth Mystic Lake i 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 Márta.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Beidh Jenkins ar fáil ar fáil le ceannach Eanáir 26 ag MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. An fear ar a dtugtar “Teagmháil” 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 i mí na Samhna. 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) thuill sé lámhaigh ag LFA óir tar éis a bhuaigh ar cheann de na troideanna is mó i gcuimhne de 2017. An fear ar a dtugtar “An Reel Aibhsigh an Duine” 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 “An comhrac na Bliana” ainmní. Chuir an bua rathúil 2017 don garda slándála Mystic Lake, a thosaigh le bua TKO os cionn Billy Christianson ag LFA 2. Suimiúil, an setback aonair na bliana tháinig ar na cártaí scór LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, an fearr leat áitiúil thit cinneadh scoilt i ina bhaile dúchais. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Anois tá sé a sights a leagtar ar LFA óir ag LFA 34.
An imeacht comh-is mó de LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) rinne ráiteas mór i sé ar an bhfoireann LFA ag LFA 20 an samhradh seo caite, nuair a stop sé RFA VET Carl Wittstock via Cúil Naked Choke taobh istigh den chéad dá nóiméad den bhabhta oscailte. 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) gá níos lú ná leath babhta ag LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, cosúil le Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. An bua a tháinig in aghaidh T.J. Brown agus arna chur ar bun le showdown le fear a rinne tús a chur chun cinn beagnach mar an gcéanna. 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 “Meaisín Gun” Kelly Kobold. Tar éis sé agus bearna bliain go leith ó an spórt, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) Is é ceann de na mná is mó meas sa spórt. Tá sí taitneamh as slí bheatha MMA illustrious ghairmiúil a théann siar beagnach sé bliana déag. 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.
