Las Vegas, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will celebrate its historic 50th televised event in Minnesota by crowning a new middleweight champion at LFA 50. This event will also kick off an action-packed fall fight season, which starts on the third week of September.

 

 

 

Isi ihe omume nke LFA 50 will feature a middleweight title fight when two-time LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect “The Amazing” Tim Hiley for the vacant strap. LFA 50 – Allen vs. Hiley takes place Friday, September 21st at the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Dum isi kaadị ga-televised ndụ na mba na AXS TV na 9 p.m. NA / 6 p.m. Pt.

 

 

 

“I am excited to celebrate our 50th televised event at the state of the art Mystic Lake Center in Minnesota”, Kwuru Soares. “LFA has produced fifty nationally televised MMA events faster than any promotion in history. LFA 50 will be the third of four live nationally televised MMA events to take place inside Mystic Lake’s new world-class facility in 2018. Mystic Lake has been a fantastic partner and it will now host our LFA middleweight world title fight between Brendan Allen and Tim Hiley on September 21st.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 50 – Allen vs. Hiley are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.

 

 

 

Allen (9-3) returns to the LFA Octagon fresh off the most emphatic win of his career. The 22-year-old Louisianian and two-time LFA middleweight title challenger knocked out two-time Legacy FC middleweight title challenger Larry Crowe with a check hook KO that went viral in June after their headlining encounter at LFA 43. The nwoke maara dị ka “All In” is now looking to do just that in his sixth appearance for the promotion. He also competed twice for Legacy FC before the promotion merged with RFA to create LFA and is fully aware of the stakes when he steps foot inside the LFA Octagon. His only setbacks have come to men currently competing in the UFC. The young Roufusport product has built a loyal fan base for being one of the most clinical finishers in the division. All nine of his victories have come via KO, WHO, ma ọ bụ nrubeisi. He now hopes a third time’s a charm as he vies for LFA gold at LFA 50.

 

 

 

Hiley (7-0) will get his first LFA title shot after dominating in his first two fights for the promotion earlier this year. The 29-year-old has the same plan as Allen. He is looking to continue a proud LFA history of top middleweight prospects that win LFA titles and sign with the UFC. All four previous LFA middleweight champions have done just that. That illustrious list includes Eryk Anders, Markus Perez, Anthony Hernandez, and Ian Heinisch. “The Amazing” one looks to continue amazing LFA fight fans with his exciting skill set. Another layer of intrigue to his title fight with Allen is that both men train just a few miles from each other in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hiley represents Pura Vida, home of UFC star Zak Ottow. Ka ọ dịgodị, Allen fights out of Roufusport, home to UFC star Sergio Pettis. Both Ottow and Pettis became stars in the RFA before signing with the UFC. Hiley looks to start his own legacy at LFA 50.

Naan i any i, Texas – Hapụrụ Ọgụ Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to Minnesota on the first day of June with a lightweight showdown between the final RFA lightweight champion and a surging upset artist.

 

 

 

Isi ihe omume nke LFA 41 will feature the return of the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés when he faces the division’s biggest upset machine Jeff “The Administrator” Peterson. LFA 41 – Moisés vs. Peterson takes place Friday, June 1st at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Dum isi kaadị ga-televised ndụ na mba na AXS TV na 9 p.m. NA / 6 p.m. Pt.

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA back to the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the state of the art Mystic Lake Center”, Kwuru Soares. “We brought four LFA events to Mystic Lake last year. LFA 41 will be the second of four live nationally televised MMA events to take place inside Mystic Lake’s new world-class facility in 2018. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and will now host the return of Thiago Moisés when he faces Jeff Peterson on June 1st.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 41 – Moisés vs. Peterson are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.

 

 

 

Moisés (9-2) recently turned 23-years-old, but has long been considered one of the most exciting lightweight prospects in the world. The Brazilian dynamo submitted Javon Wright in his RFA debut at RFA 28. The win earned Moisés a shot at RFA gold in his next outing at RFA 35. Moisés used this opportunity to secure one of the most memorable submission wins in MMA history. He executed an electrifying and ultra-rare Helicopter Armbar to submit David Castillo. The submission made him the second youngest champion in RFA history, went viral on the internet, and earned him a nominee for “Submission nke Year” at the annual World MMA Awards.

 

 

 

Moisés then defended his RFA lightweight title twice. The first title defense came against Jamall Emmers at RFA 38. The win came with UFC President Dana White sitting cageside and was featured on the seventh episode of Dana White: Lebanye anya’ for a Fight. The second title defense came against Zach Freeman in Freeman’s hometown at RFA 44. During that fight, Moisés broke his hand. The American Top Team product still managed to cruise to a Unanimous Decision victory, but he missed nearly a year of action waiting for his surgically repaired hand to heal. Moisés then re-injured his hand vying for the inaugural LFA lightweight title last summer at LFA 17. Now the BJJ black belt is back and ready to remind the world, that when he is at 100%, he is the top lightweight prospect in the world.

 

 

 

Peterson (9-4) is currently riding an impressive six-fight win streak and hasn’t tasted defeat in over three years. Otú ọ dị, the Alliance MMA product really started to make a name for himself last year after signing with LFA. Peterson did this by winning all three of his fights for the promotion against heavily favored opposition. The first win came against top undefeated prospect Bobby Lee via Unanimous

Decision at LFA 12. The second win came against local fan favorite Brandon Jenkins via Split Decision at LFA 20. The third and biggest win came against longtime Bellator star and fellow U.S. Marine Mike Richman via Unanimous Decision in the co-main event of LFA 29.

 

 

 

 

Now the 28-year-old known as “The Administrator” will be looking to add the final RFA lightweight champion to his list of upsets. This is the next necessary step he will need to take if the Peterson regime plans on taking over as the new ruling administration atop the LFA lightweight division. He has gotten to this point by defying the odds. Peterson has administered his rugged, no-nonsense style of fighting to upset an undefeated prospect, a local favorite, and a popular vet. Now he will up the ante by facing his biggest test to date. When the opening betting odds are released for this fight, expect Peterson to once again be the underdog. He wouldn’t want it any other way. That is where he thrives. A devil dog, seen as an underdog, in a prime time headlining fight is a scary thing. Oorah.

Naan i any i, Texas – Hapụrụ Ọgụ Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, a elu-stakes fechaa showdown, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

Isi ihe omume nke LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Kpọtụrụ” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 fechaa contender Brandon “The Human Mata ukwu” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Friday, March 2nd at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Dum isi kaadị ga-televised ndụ na mba na AXS TV na 9 p.m. NA / 6 p.m. Pt.
“M obi ụtọ na-eme ka LFA fechaa ụwa egwuregwu na Minnetonka ballroom n'ime ọhụrụ omimi Lake Center na LFA 34”, Kwuru Soares. “Anyị anọ mma ihe na omimi Lake afọ ikpeazụ.

Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we are all looking forward to watching Robert Watley defend his lightweight title against Brandon Jenkins in Minnesota on March 2nd.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins ga-abụ dị maka zụọ January 26 na MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. The nwoke maara dị ka “Kpọtụrụ” 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 na November. 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) akwụ ya shot na LFA gold mgbe emeri otu n'ime ndị kasị kwesịrị ncheta ịlụ ọgụ nke 2017. The nwoke maara dị ka “The Human Mata ukwu” 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 “Ọgụ nke Year” nominee. The mmeri dechara a ọma 2017 maka omimi Lake nche, nke malitere na a TKO mmeri Billy Christianson na LFA 2. Na-akpali mmasị, na nanị setback nke afọ bịara na akara kaadị nke LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, obodo mmasị ama esịn a gbawara n'etiti mkpebi n'obodo ya. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Ugbu a, ọ ya nlegharị anya enịm ke LFA gold na LFA 34.
The ngalaba-isi ihe omume nke LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) mere a nnukwu nkwupụta ya LFA mpụta mbụ na LFA 20 ikpeazụ n'oge okpomọkụ, mgbe ọ kwụsịrị RFA pụọ Carl Wittstock via N'azụ gba ọtọ ịkpagbu n'ime mbụ na nke abụọ nkeji nke oghere gburugburu. 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) mkpa na-erughị ọkara a gburugburu ke LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, ka Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. The mmeri biara imegide T.J. Brown na melite a showdown na a onye mere a fọrọ nke nta ka yiri promotional mpụta mbụ. 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. Mgbe a isii na ọkara afọ hiatus si egwuregwu, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) bụ otu n'ime ndị kasị na-akwanyere ùgwù ndị inyom na egwuregwu. Ọ ụtọ ihe illustrious ọkachamara Emmanuel ọrụ ụbọchị laghachi fọrọ nke nta afọ iri na isii. 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.
