“I am excited to bring LFA back to Coachella Valley at LFA 45”, Soares המוצהר. “This will be our fourth show in my home state of California. Morongo קזינו, Resort & 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.”
Tickets for LFA 45 – סילבה לעומת. Barnes will be available for purchase at noon PST on Tuesday June 19th via Ticketmaster.com.
סילבה (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 “מאבק של הלילה” שלוש פעמים, “הגשת הלילה” פעמיים, ו “ביצוע הלילה” 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, Mike Rhodes, ג'ייסון גבוה, and Charlie Brenneman during his tenure with the promotion. עכשיו “טייגר” from Brazil looks to pounce once more in the main event of LFA 45.
בארנס (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, “The Phoenix” 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.
