Also in attendance at the workout was Peterson’s brother, once-beaten contender Anthony Peterson, who competes in undercard action on the Januari 20 händelse.
Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday:
LAMONT PETERSON
“Jag känner stor. I’m already close to weight. I’m happy and eating up to five times a day. I feel strong and I’m ready for this fight.
“I have to look at this as really just another big fight. When you’re at the top, you try not to make too much of each fight. We know what’s at stake. I know that when I keep it simple, that’s when I perform best.
“Right now my body feels better than ever. I’m comfortable with everything that’s gone on in camp and I think you can see it in my body.
“I’ve always trained hard since the first day I came here as a child. That’s been instilled in me since a young age and it’s carried me throughout my career.
“Everything I do is for D.C. I’m trying to get as much recognition for this area the best way I can. That’s what we all strive for in this gym. This is the biggest one that’s been on the schedule for a while and I’m ready to bring it home.
“It gets easier and easier the more championship fights I’m in. I was in shape for all of them, but I definitely put more pressure on myself when I was young. I’ve improved each time and now I feel like I’m really at the perfect place in my career.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“I have to make a statement. I never feel comfortable with a decision. I think that’s a good thing because I have to be special under the bright lights.
“Everyone knows I like to go to the body. You know I’m going to make him work so you can look out for me to break my opponent down on the Januari 20.
“I’ve been sparring with a variety of experienced fighters over the last year and they’ve helped me out even while I haven’t had a fight. Ring rust is all mental. It’s up to you to put the work in.
“I haven’t gotten the fights that I want, but I’ll always stick to my game and stick to my craft. I know if I persevere, things will work out for me.
“I know that I love this sport. I know that eventually I will be a world champion. I believe in my future and I’m looking forward to big fights.
“It’s inspiring to watch Lamont do his thing and succeed. He’s going to beat Errol Spence, even if people don’t believe it. I think he’s going to take care of business.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“It’s been a long grind in camp for these guys. When I think back on how long we’ve been on this journey, I’m very proud of them. They were 9 och 10 when they first came into the gym.
“We don’t have the weight monster to deal with fighting at welterweight. Lamont is in a great place mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to an explosive fight.
“When you look at the Spence-Brook fight, early on Brook had a lot of success. Down the stretch Errol imposed his will and broke Brook down. I know Errol well and I’ve coached him. He has a strong will. He’s not great in one area, but he’s good in a lot of areas. This is a different kind of guy he’s facing. Heart is something Lamont is nowhere near short on. I think this might start off tactical, and then turn into a war.
“My job is to go in there with part of a plan, but it’s always about adjustments for us. Whatever Errol brings to the table, we’ll figure it out and put everything in motion.
“This last week is a lot of game plan and mental preparation work. A lot of fighters don’t train the mind. You have to train the mind even more so than the body. We have to be ready for every scenario.
“I think if Anthony goes in there and does his job there are a few vacant titles at 140-pounds and that’s a track for us. We want to get a strap around his waist and we’ll face anyone to get it.
“Lamont, along with Anthony, Gary Russell Jr., Jarrett Hurd and Gervonta Davis, have been holding down boxing in this area for a long time. It would be huge to bring this title home. There are a lot of young Lamont Petersons in this area who want to reach this level. It would be a beacon of light shining down and showing these people the way.”

“Lamont Peterson är mycket kvick och intelligent i ringen. Han är en tuff kille också. Han ger som mental styrka som du behöver för att lyckas. Vi måste komma till denna kamp 100 procent och fokuseras hela tiden. Om vi ​​inte gör det, vi kan komma upp kort.

Barry Hunter är en tuff, intelligent tränare som ger en hel del till bordet. Lamont har ett bra team. Det är ett nöje och en ära att möta dem i ringen.”

Här är vad de stridande hade att säga om deras januari 20 matchups och mer:
ROBERT PÅSK (20-0, 14 Kos) – Att tredje försvar av IBF Lätt World titel
“Denna kamp kan definitivt sätta en god ton för mig i 2018. Jag kommer att göra ett uttalande med denna kamp. Mina tre senaste matcher har jag inte fått en knockout. Jag kommer att vara att ge mina fans och kämpa fansen en bra show.
“Jag kommer att använda min räckvidd och längd och förstöra den här killen från utsidan. All min karriär har jag kämpat kortare killar. Varje kort killen inte kämpa lika. Men du får i ringen och du känner honom och göra justeringar.
“Det finns inget särskilt att jag måste förbereda sig för med Fortuna. Jag tar varje kamp samma. Varje fighter kämpar annorlunda så att du får där, känner honom och göra justeringar när du går längs. Jag är inte orolig för honom att vara en Southpaw. Jag har mött massor av vänsteranhängare i min karriär och i amatörer. Det är inga problem alls.
“Jag tror att det gör mig desto farligare boxare i denna kamp är att ha höjd som jag gör och slagstyrka och hastighet och tänkesätt samt. Min tänkesätt är att jag inte kommer in där för att leka med honom. Jag är redo att förstöra.
“Mina mål för 2018 är att fånga fler titlar och för att få enande anfall. Vi hade några mästare i viktklassen, men det verkar som om ingen är villig att bekämpa andra mästare. Vi är villiga att göra vad som krävs, kämpa den som har titlarna. Vi är villiga att fånga alla dessa titlar när de andra killarna är villiga att anmäla sig till slagsmål.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Tidigare Super Featherweight världsmästare
“Min förberedelse för denna kamp går mycket bra. Jag har tränat i Dominikanska republiken, men jag har kommit tillbaka till Boston för att avsluta min utbildning. Just nu är vi på 75% och stänga i på 100%. Jag kommer att vara helt förberedd när det är dags att slåss. Min förberedelser och min strategi gör mig desto farligare killen.
“Jag ser detta som ingen annan kamp som jag har haft tidigare, eftersom varje motståndare är annorlunda. Alla har sin egen nisch på denna nivå, något som fungerar för dem. Hans nisch är att han är lång. Han använder det till sin fördel. Men det är ingenting som jag inte kan övervinna. Jag har kämpat långa killar innan.
“Jag föredrar mina motståndare att vara högre. Den spelar in i vad jag kan göra. Jag har aldrig haft problem med högre motståndare. Abner Cotto (5-10) är en av höga killar som jag kämpade. Jag kämpade i Chicago och sätta på en stor prestation. (Fortuna gjorde ett 5th runda KO mot Cotto)
“Mitt mål för 2018 är att bekämpa alla de bästa elit fighters i min viktklass, och jag försöker bli nämns som en av de bästa i sporten. Jag vill verkligen vinna en annan VM-titel i en annan viktklass. Det skulle vara det största ögonblicket hittills i min karriär att få en annan VM-titel.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 Kos) – Topp 10 rankas 175 Ibs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min motståndare (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) ser ut som en varaktig, tuff kille. Jag ser denna kamp är mycket spännande för fansen så länge det varar. Jag såg lite tejp på honom. Jag vet att han alltid kommer i toppform, och jag hör att han är konsekvent i sin prestation i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det är alltid en ära att kämpa här hemma och i Barclays Center. Det är speciellt att kunna utföra framför dessa fans och jag kan inte vänta med att sätta på en bra prestation som ledde fram till Spence vs. Peterson kamp.
“Denna kamp skulle kunna sätta mig i det läge som jag behöver vara i att kämpa för en VM-titel. Jag kan inte saknas på något sätt. Jag måste komma ut starkt med en bra prestanda från början till slut och lämnar inget tvivel i det.
“För 2018, Jag vill bli en världsmästare. Jag är fast besluten tomake det hända detta år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Kämpade David Benavidez på Barclays Center i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jag hoppas så är fallet, eftersom det kommer att bli en chock för honom, fansen och hans team när jag tar hans plats i kö för en titel. Jag vill möta Eleider Alvarez i vår hemstad Montreal efter att jag får den här vinsten.
“Min tidigare slagsmål på Barclays Center mot strömmen WBC mästaren David Benavidez var uppenbarligen ett mycket dåligt beslut av domaren att stoppa kampen, särskilt när jag höll på att vinna rundan och Benavidez var långsammare. Jag började bli starkare medan han höll på att bli svagare.
“Jag har aldrig blivit sårad och aldrig fallit i en strid. Jag vill Marcus utmana sig själv och se om han kan göra något ingen annan har. Jag är glad över att vara i ett slagsmål i denna storleksordning. Marcus, det är dags för oss att ge fansen vad de vill!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Ursprungligen från Polen & slåss av Brooklyn
“Denna kamp kommer att bli ytterligare ett steg mot att bli en mästare. Jag vet att jag kommer att behöva arbeta mycket hårt och bevisa att jag fortsätter att bygga på min vinst mot Szpilka. Från video jag har sett på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), Han flyttar en hel del, så jag kommer att behöva skära av ringen. Vad han tillför ringen, Jag har ett svar för.
“Tre år i rad nu har jag kämpat i januari. Jag älskar att man börjar året starkt. Min fru och jag faktiskt började en tradition av “Kownacki Family Run” vid midnatt on New Year’s Eve. Eftersom jag alltid förbereda för en kamp kring nyårs, Vi tänkte att vi kunde lika gärna ha kul medan vi arbetar. Så, Vi kommer att ha några vänner komma ut och köra några miles med oss ​​runt kvarteret under fyrverkerierna. Det är roligt och hjälper till att få mig redo.
“Ytterst, Jag ser att bli bäst i tungvikt divisionen. Slutmålet för innevarande år är att bli en världsmästare. Men det allra första steget tar Iago Kiladze mycket allvarligt. I can’t look past Januari 20 just nu. Jag har en tuff motståndare som kommer att utmana och göra mig till en bättre fighter i det långa loppet.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp sedan flytta upp till tunga divisionen (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min tränare är Freddie Roach nu. Jag spar med (IBF Cruiser Champion) Murat Gassiev tre gånger nyligen som är bra förberedelse för mig. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Hursomhelst, Jag ska vara seger. Jag känner att jag är mer kvalificerade kämpe och det kommer att visa i ringen.
“Detta är en stor kamp för min karriär och en fantastisk start för 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mitt mål är att bli världsmästare i slutet av 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”

Som professionell, Giyasov will campaign in the welterweight division, where he was a sensational amateur standout.
At age 24, Giyasov who stands at 5’9″, is one of the most talented boxers to enter the professional ranks in the last decade. This past summer in Hamburg, Tyskland, the right handed Giyasov captured Gold (Weltervikt) vid 2017 International Boxing Association (AIBA) Världsmästerskapen. Giyasov’s victory in the finals against Cuba’s Roniel Iglesias, den 2012 OS-guldmedaljören, came to no one’s surprise, as the Uzbekistan was the #1 seed entering the tournament. Shakhram was voted best boxer of the tournament by his peers, vinnande 56% of the AIBA online poll.
“I have arrived in the United States of America and plan to establish myself as the next great champion from Uzbekistan,” said Shakhram Giyasov. “My goal is to conquer the welterweight division and become a pound-for-pound champion. I set my goals high because I believe in myself and the team I’ve put around me. Together we will go to the top.”
Giyasov, who is a mega-star in his native land of Uzbekistan, is managed by Ruslan Khusinov, an international sports agent with ties to some of the best amateur boxers in the world. His reasoning for bringing Giyasov to the bright lights of Las Vegas was easy, to establish his brand in the mecca of professional boxing.
“We are very please with our decision to bring Shakhram Giyasov to Las Vegas,” said Ruslan Khusinov. “Everyone recognizes Las Vegas as the mecca of boxing and this is where we want to build our foundation. I have big plans to make Giyasov a super-star here in the States, just like back home where his popularity is undeniable.”
Training Giyasov, kommer vara Justin Gamber, who guides the corner of undefeated world ranked contender, Caleb “Söta Händer” Växt (16-0, 10 Kos). Gamber believes Giyasov can jump on the fast track to a world title.
“In today’s boxing game, you have many boxers with high amateur pedigree’s, fighting for a world title before their 15th pro-kamp,” Justin Gamber stated. “I believe Giyasov fits that mold. I can see him fighting for a world title early in his career.”

“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Angiven Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
The main event of LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. På papperet, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Emellertid, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). The man known as “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
Co-main event av LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superman” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 sekunder.
I september 2016, Legacy FC och RFA tjänstemän meddelade att de skulle slå samman för att bilda den främsta utvecklingsorganisationen i Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) med början i januari 2017. Legacy FC och RFA har lanserat karriärerna av över 150 idrottare som har nått höjdpunkten av MMA genom att tävla i UFC.

Här är vad presskonferensen var man tvungen att säga onsdag:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Januari 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Det var en lärorik erfarenhet. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
LAMONT PETERSON
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. It’s boxing. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Jag är redo att gå. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. För det mesta, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Regardless of everything, I’m going to come to win.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence tränare
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Januari 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
LOU DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Januari 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Januari 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 VM-titel slagsmål. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 år. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Januari 20.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Underhållning
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Januari 20.”

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to northern Texas next month at LFA 28 with a pair of talented veterans facing undefeated prospects at the top of the card.
I main event, Legacy FC standout Evan “The Butcher” Cutts faces top undefeated prospect Jaleel “The Realest” Willis in a welterweight war. I co-headliner, UFC vet Damon “The Leech” Jackson squares off with undefeated Kansan Thai “Landshark” Clark in a lightweight showdown. LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis takes place this Fredag, December 8th vid The Bomb Factory i Dallas, Texas. Hela huvudkortet kommer i direktsändning och rikstäckande på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OCH / 6 p.m. PT.
“Evan Cutts is a long-time Legacy FC standout that has made a name for himself by taking out big name prospects,” Angiven Soares. “He will make his LFA debut against Jaleel Willis, who is one of the top undefeated welterweight prospects in the sport. LFA started at The Bomb Factory in Dallas in January and returned in July. LFA 28 will continue our exciting history in Big D on Fredag, December 8th.”
Biljetter till LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis are available for purchase NOW at TheBombFactory.com.
Cutts (8-3) is a longtime Legacy FC standout that will be making his LFA debut in front of his friends and family in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) område. “The Butcher” has made a career out of cutting through the dreams of highly-touted prospects, while proving to be one of the most formidable ground specialists in the 170-pound division. I 2011, not long after his 20th birthday, the now 26-year-old Texan made his pro debut and quickly gained global recognition later that year. This happened when he faced Reagan Penn, the prodigious younger brother of UFC Hall of Fame member B.J. Penn. Cutts eagerly took the high-profile bout and made the most of his opportunity by defeating the jiu-jitsu wunderkind. Cutts later reached the quarter-finals of Bellator’s hit reality television show Fight Master. Now the Legacy FC standout is looking to hand another highly-touted prospect his first career loss in the main event of LFA 28.

Willis (8-0) makes his LFA debut to much fanfare. Widely-regarded as one of the top prospects in the world at 170-pounds, the Memphis native has done it all and made it look easy up to this point. The Bellator and WSOF vet has run roughshod over the competition throughout his three and a half year career. After winning a regional title in his hometown over the summer, Willis signed a multi-fight contract with LFA, the leading developmental organization for prospects looking to reach the UFC. His first assignment as an LFA fighter will be the perfect task for the hungry, young welterweight. The 25-year-old heads into enemy territory to face a man many consider a true “prospect killer” in the headlining bout of LFA 28. If successful, mannen känd som “The Realest” could cement his case as the realest threat to current LFA welterweight champion James Nakashima, while also pushing himself up the overall pound-for-pound prospect list.

Co-main event av LFA 28 will feature another showdown between a battle-tested veteran looking to regain past glory and an aspiring undefeated prospect looking for a marquee win. Three-time UFC vet and former Legacy FC featherweight champion Damon “The Leech” Jackson is moving back up to the lightweight division, which is the same weight class where he made his UFC debut on the main card of UFC 177. He will take on undefeated Bellator vet Thai “Landshark” Clark, who will be competing in his first live televised fight. The Kansas native is looking to take advantage of this opportunity by staying undefeated against his toughest test to date.
Huvud Card (TV på AXS TV på 9 p.m. OCH / 6 p.m. PT):
Main Event | Weltervikt Bout (170 Ib)
– Evan Cutts (8-3) vs. Jaleel Willis (8-0)
