Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. Cilvēks pazīstams kā “Kontakts” 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 novembrī. 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) nopelnījis LFA zeltu viņa shot pēc uzvaras viens no visvairāk neaizmirstamu cīņās 2017. Cilvēks pazīstams kā “Cilvēka Izcelt 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 “Cīņa Gada” kandidāts. Ar šo uzvaru pabeidza veiksmīgu 2017 par Mystic Lake apsargu, kas sākās ar TKO uzvaru pār Billy Christianson pie mazāk labvēlīgiem apgabaliem 2. Interesanti, vientuļš šķērslis gadā nāca par rezultātiem kartēm LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, vietējais favorīts samazinājās split lēmums savā dzimtajā pilsētā. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Tagad viņš ir viņa pamana, kas par MLA zelta mazāk labvēlīgiem apgabaliem 34.
Co-galvenais notikums LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) veikts liels paziņojumu savā MLA debija pie mazāk labvēlīgiem apgabaliem 20 pagājušajā vasarā, when he stopped RFA vet Carl Wittstock via Rear Naked Choke inside the first two minutes of the opening round. 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) needed less than a half a round at LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, like Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. The win came against T.J. Brown and set up a showdown with a man who made a nearly identical promotional debut. 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 “Machine Gun” Kelly Kobold. After a six and a half year hiatus from the sport, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
KOBOLD (18-3-2) ir viens no visvairāk ievērotas sieviešu sportā. Viņa ir bauda izcilas profesionālo MMA karjeru, kas datētas gandrīz sešpadsmit gadiem. 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.
