HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares meddelte i dag, at LFA vender tilbage til Californien i marts med en bantamvægt-verdenstitelkamp og en fjervægtskrig med høj indsats..
Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 36 vil byde på tilbagevenden af LFA bantamvægt mester Ricky Simon, når han forsvarer sin titel mod LFA #1 bantamvægt-udfordrer Vinicius “Don” Jeg ved. LFA 36 – Simon vs. Zani finder sted Fredag, 23. marts på Morongo Outdoor Pavilion på Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa i Cabazon, California. Hele vigtigste kort vil blive tv-transmitteret direkte og landsdækkende på AXS TV på 10 p.m. OG / 7 p.m. PT.
“Jeg er spændt på at bringe en LFA-titelkamp til Coachella Valley ved LFA 36”, Erklærede Soares. “Dette bliver vores tredje show i min hjemstat Californien. Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa er et smukt etablissement med 4 diamanter, og vi ser frem til at præsentere vores bantamvægt verdenstitelkamp i verdensklasse Morongo Outdoor Pavillion på 23. marts.”
Billetter til LFA 36 – Simon vs. Zani kan købes NU på Ticketmaster.com.
Simon (11-1) vender tilbage til LFA Octagon efter at have vundet den ledige LFA bantamvægt titel i december i hovedbegivenheden i LFA 29. Kampen fungerede som LFA's sidste kamp af 2017 og efterlod kampfans og MMA-eksperter, der spændte ventede på næste træk af den vildt populære Pacific Northwesterner. Simon tog LFA-guld hjem ved at lukke den ottedobbelte UFC-dyrlæge Chico Camus ned med en blodig og dominerende 5-runders sejr. Titelsejren stemplede et karriereår for den 25-årige, hvilket også så ham vinde en kamp foran UFC-præsident Dana White on Week 5 af Dana White's Tirsdag Night Contender-serien. Simon er nu ivrig efter at forsvare sin titel i stedet for at sole sig i skæret af 2017. Han ønsker også at øge satsen ved at tage den klare vej #1 udfordrer Vincius Zani.
Jeg ved (11-4) vil udfordre mesteren i en af de mest ventede titelkampe 2018. Zani har været perfekt, siden han konkurrerede om oprykningen. Dette startede før fusionen af RFA og Legacy FC, da han fremviste sine Muay Thai-færdigheder i verdensklasse i den co-main event i RFA 38. Den brasilianske kendt som “Don Zani” besejrede Joe Murphy den aften med UFC-præsident Dana White siddende i buret. Zani udløste en byge af benspark og andre voldsomme teknikker, der begejstrede publikum, samtidig med at opdelingen varsles. Han ville vinde sine næste to kampe i LFA efter fusionen og har ikke vist tegn på at tage foden fra pedalen. I sin sidste optræden i oktober, Zani besejrede den tidligere RFA-titeludfordrer Joey Miolla via enstemmig beslutning i co-main eventen i LFA 24.
Co-main event af LFA 36 vil indeholde tilbagevenden af Jamall “Pretty Boy” Spande (12-3). Den magtfulde 28-årige er en af de eneste, der har kæmpet for LFA, RFA, og Legacy FC. Han blev den tredje kæmper, der fuldførte dette sjældne hattrick af promoverende optrædener, da han var med i hovedet for LFA 5 sidste år. Den aften, Emmers levede op til hypen omkring ham efter den ros, han modtog fra UFC-præsident Dana White på Episode 7 af Dana White: Kig ind’ til en kamp blot et par måneder tidligere. Emmers rejste til Colorados høje højde og besejrede den højt anslåede Cory Sandhagen, som nu laver bølger i UFC. Emmers håber på at skinne igen og måske slå sin egen billet til UFC med en banebrydende præstation i LFA 36.
Emmers skal møde Talison Soares (10-2), som kommer fra sin egen banebrydende præstation i sidste måned i co-main eventen i LFA 30. Den 29-årige brasilianske udsigter, som er et dekoreret BJJ sort bælte fra det prestigefyldte Checkmat akademi, fik sin internationale debut mod andre topprospekt og BJJ-es Fernando Padilla den aften. Han udnyttede muligheden fuldt ud og imponerede publikum ved grundigt at udkonkurrere sin stærkt favoriserede mexicanske modstander. Soares ser nu ud til at holde momentum i den rigtige retning ved at besejre Emmers, der har vundet tre kampe i træk, siden han imponerede UFC-chefen i RFA 38. Soares ved, at et andet imponerende show i træk vil kaste ham til toppen af, hvad mange anser for LFA's dybeste division.

FOCUSED REGIS PROGRAIS UNDAUNTED BY CHANGE IN OPPONENT TO JULIUS INDONGO FOR INTERIM WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY, MARTS 9 LIVE ON SHOWTIME®
SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. OG/PT From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota
HOUSTON (Februar. 15, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis “Rougarou” Prograis remains focused on the prize despite the recent change in opponent for his Marts 9 showdown for the Interim WBC Super Lightweight World Championship. Prograis will now face former unified world champion Julius Indongo in the 12-round main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. OG/PT from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota.
The southpaw Indongo replaced Viktor Postol, who was forced to withdraw from the bout mandag with a hand injury.
“Lou called and told me about what happened to Viktor Postol and that Indongo could be the new opponent and I said yes immediately,"Sagde Prograis. “I always want to fight the best and with Indongo being a former unified champion, he brings a great deal of credibility to the fight. Both of his titles were won on the road in Russia and Scotland, so I know how fearless and determined he will be.
“I had to switch up my training a little for sparring with Indongo being a lefty and a little taller, but I’m sparring with middleweights. I’ve heard how hard he hits and I want to be fully prepared. Maybe down the line Postol and I could still fight, but I’m only focused on Indongo now. This is my time and my year to shine. I’m ready to put on a spectacular performance on Marts 9."
“This fight came together in a matter of two phone calls – one to Prograis and one to Indongo – and that speaks volumes about the championship mentality of both fighters,” said Lou DiBella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment. “Prograis wanted to fight the best fighter available, even if that fighter presented a different style and was recently a unified champion. Indongo immediately jumped at the opportunity to again be a champion. They are true professionals and their desire to fight will be evident in the ring.”
The event is presented by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions and Sauerland Promotions. Billetter, prissat til $200, $80 og $60, are on sale now and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 907-4726. The doors open and first bout begins at 5:30 p.m. More information on Deadwood Mountain Grand can be found on their website at www.DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.
Fighting out of Namibia and now training in Omaha, NE, Indongo (22-1, 11 KOS) is a former unified champion who held the IBF and WBA 140-pound titles.
I 2016, Indongo traveled to Moscow, Rusland, to dethrone IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Eduard Troyanovsky with a stunning first-round knockout. In his first defense, Indongo traveled to Glasgow, Skotland, for a unification bout with WBA Champion Ricky Burns. The 35-year-old won a 12-round unanimous decision to become unified champion.
In his first bout as a unified titleholder, Indongo made his U.S. debut against fellow undefeated and unified champion Terence Crawford in a showdown to determine the undisputed champion of the 140-pound division. It was the first championship bout with all four major world titles at stake since Jermain Taylor dethroned Bernard Hopkins in 2005. Indongo lost to Crawford to suffer the only defeat of his professional career.
PROGRAMMER (20-0, 17 KOS), af Houston i form af New Orleans, has scored knockouts in 13 af hans sidste 14 fights and is a rising star in the wide-open 140-pound division. Indongo represents the toughest challenge of his career.
I 12-round co-feature, undefeated 140-pound contenders Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 10 KOS) and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 KOS) will square off in a Junior Welterweight World Title Eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Sergey Lipinets. Lipinets will defend his belt the following day, Marts 10, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® against undefeated three-division champion Mikey Garcia.
