“LFA featherweight champion Kevin Aguilar recently got the opportunity to compete for a UFC contract,” Δηλωμένη Soares. “Damon Jackson and Nate Jennerman are the two winningest featherweights in LFA history. They will compete for the LFA interim featherweight title on August 10th. LFA started at The Bomb Factory at LFA 1 by unifying the Legacy FC and RFA bantamweight titles. Τον Μάιο, we unified our featherweight title in the same venue. Now we will continue our exciting history in Dallas at LFA 47.”

Τζάκσον (15-2-1) heads into this title fight looking to capture LFA gold that eluded him the first time he competed for it at LFA 4. The former Legacy FC featherweight champion and three-time UFC veteran came up short against Kevin Aguilar that night, but has since strung together four consecutive submission victories inside the LFA Octagon. The NAIA All-American wrestler currently has the most wins in LFA history (5 νίκες) and will look to continue his dominance and position himself for one of two preferred outcomes with a title win at LFA 47. That would be either a rematch with Aguilar or a return trip to the UFC.
Jennerman (12-3) is the only man to experience a similar level of success as Jackson since the merger of Legacy FC and RFA created LFA in January 2017. The Roufusport product is currently tied with LFA flyweight champion Maikel Perez for second most wins in LFA history (4 νίκες) and will look to tie the promotion’s wins leader Jackson by defeating the man himself. Αν “Nasty Nate” κερδίζει από την υποβολή, he will also tie Jackson’s record for most submission wins in LFA history (5 submission wins). Πιο σημαντικό, Jennerman will capture prestigious LFA championship gold against his toughest opponent to date.
