Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. The Man Þekktur eins “Viltu samband við” 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 í nóvember. 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) unnið skot hans í LFA gull eftir að vinna einn af eftirminnilegri berst frá 2017. The Man Þekktur eins “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 “Fight ársins” tilnefndur. Sigurinn lauk vel 2017 fyrir Mystic Lake öryggisvörður, sem byrjaði með TKO sigur á Billy Christianson á LFA 2. Athyglisvert, The Lone áfall ársins kom á stöngina spil LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, staðbundin uppáhalds lækkað hættu ákvörðun í heimabæ sínum. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Nú hefur hann markið hans sett á LFA gull á LFA 34.
Co-helsta viðburði LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) gerði stór yfirlýsingu í LFA frumraun hans á LFA 20 síðasta sumar, Þegar hann hætti RFA dýralæknir Carl Wittstock um Rear Naked Choke inni fyrstu tveimur mínútum fyrir opnun umferð. 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) þarf minna en helming umferð á LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, eins Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. Sigurinn kom gegn T.J. Brown og setja upp lokauppgjör með manni sem gerði nánast eins kynningar Frumraun. 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 “Vélbyssa” Kelly Kobold. Eftir sex og hálfs árs hlé frá íþróttinni, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) er einn af virtustu konur í íþróttum. Hún hefur notið illustrious faglega MMA feril sem nær aftur næstum sextán ára. 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.
