Las Vegas, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to southern California in November with a women’s flyweight title fight headlining LFA 54.

 

 

 

The main event of LFA 54 will bring a highly-anticipated women’s world title fight to Orange County. The headliner will see undefeated LFA women’s flyweight champion Sabina “Colombian Queen” Mazo defend her title against BJJ black belt and Brazilian stalwart Caroline “Japa” Yariwaki. LFA 54 – Mazo vs. Yariwaki takes place Friday, November 16th at Costa Mesa Hall at the OC Fair & Kaganapan Center sa Costa Mesa, California. Ay televised sa buong pangunahing card live at sa buong bansa sa AXS TV sa 10 p.m. AT / 7 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring the LFA women’s flyweight championship to southern California”, Isinaad na Soares. “This will be our sixth show in my home state of California. Sabina Mazo is excited to defend her title in her adopted hometown after she recently had an opponent pull out just a few days before her last fight. Mazo will now face top Brazilian prospect Caroline “Japa” Yariwaki at LFA 54.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 54 – Mazo vs. Yariwaki are available for purchase NOW at LFAtix.com.

 

 

 

Mazo (5-0) is the 21-year-old LFA women’s flyweight champion. The Colombian wunderkind signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and took the MMA world by storm in 2017. She burst on to the global scene three weeks after her 20th birthday at LFA 9. This happened when she knocked out 82nd Airborne Army veteran Jamie Thorton with a jaw-dropping head kick that went viral on mainstream media and MMA media outlets alike. The Kings MMA product doubled-down in her sophomore appearance for LFA by knocking out Minnesota National Guard member Linsey Williams with a nearly identical first round head kick at LFA 23. Ang “Colombian Queen” finally received her crown this past April. The title winning performance came courtesy of a unanimous decision over Shannon Sinn at LFA 37, which saw Mazo provide a brilliant display boxing and clinch work, as well as her signature Muay Thai skills. The Medellín, Colombia native now looks to begin her reign as champion with another masterful performance at LFA 54.

 

 

 

Yariwaki (7-2) will be making her highly-anticipated international MMA debut after building a name for herself in her home country of Brazil. The 31-year-old is a second degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu that just celebrated seven years of being a black belt in her country’s most famous martial art on October 7th. Her head coach is her husband Werique Silva, who is a black belt in the Chinese martial art of Sanda. Yariwaki has a purple belt in Sanda and has used her well-rounded skill set to gain a reputation as a relentless finisher in her native Brazil. The Strong Team co-founder made her professional debut in 2016 at Nagtamo 7 wins in her career, while finishing 86% of those opponents. Yariwaki is known by her nickname “Japa”, because she was born in Brazil to Japanese descendants just like fellow Belém, Brazil native Lyoto Machida. Yariwaki will look to follow her fellow Belemense’s success in the sport by capturing LFA gold. History will also be made at LFA 54 as Mazo vs. Yariwaki will be the first women’s bout to headline and LFA event.

 

 

Currently Announced Main Card (Televised on AXS TV at 10 p.m. AT / 7 p.m. PT):

Las Vegas, Nevada – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 may 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arisona, and Louisiana.

The main event of LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Biyernes, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, California.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. Sa pangunahing kaganapan, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “Ang Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Biyernes, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arisona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. Sa pangunahing kaganapan, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. Sa co-pangunahing balita, red-hot Ryan “Superman” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Biyernes, January 26th at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. AT / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Isinaad na 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 Natapos ang (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. Sa papel, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Gayunman, 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.
The co-main event of 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 segundo.
Noong Setyembre 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) starting in January 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 athletes that have reached the pinnacle of MMA by competing in the UFC.

Sa MMA, tulad ng karamihan sa sports, doon ay isang lumang kasabihan na ginawa sa pamamagitan ng sikat na aktor Will Smith na nagpapahayag na, “Kung manatili ka nang, Hindi mo na kailangang maghanda.” Iyon ay isa sa mga prinsipyo na Oklahoma native at asul na chip MMA inaasam-asam Jamal Parks naninirahan sa pamamagitan ng. Mga Parke ilagay ang mga salita ng karunungan sa ganap na epekto ito nakaraang linggo. Araw limang lang inalis mula sa kanyang ikalimang karera MMA tagumpay sa limang mga paligsahan, Mga Parke sabik na tinanggap ang susunod na hamon na ipinakita sa kanya sa kanyang mga kamangha-manghang na matipuno karera.

Ang sagot sa tanong na iyon ay nasa anyo ng mga Parke, sino ay ginagamit upang pakikipagkumpitensya laban sa mga piling tao atleta sa pakikipagbuno at mukhang upang magpatuloy sa mahabang legacy ng wrestlers Oklahoma Estado na blossomed sa MMA bituin. Listahan na may kasamang Randy Couture, Johny Hendricks, Daniel Cormier, Markahan Muñoz, Jake ROSHOLT, Jared Rosholt, Shane Roller, Mo Lawal, pati na rin ang RFA vets Steve Mocco at Tyler Shinn.

Pagkatapos ay wrestled siya sa tabi Jared Rosholt at Shinn sa Oklahoma Estado at naging isang NCAA Division ko Lahat-Amerikano kanyang senior season.

Ito rin ay nakaharap niya ang toughest pagsubok ng kanyang karera sa Barcelos.

Ang makikita mo, Barcelos ay hindi ang iyong mga tipikal na jiu-jitsu itim na sinturon.

Barcelos, na natanggap niya ang kanyang jiu-jitsu itim na sinturon sa edad na 20, Nanalo din ng Brazilian pambansang pamagat sa freestyle pakikipagbuno sa parehong taon. Barcelos rin ang pangunahing kasosyo sa pagsasanay sa UFC featherweight importanteng tao Jose Aldo.
