Las Vegas, NV, (Novembro 2, 2018) – The Main Event of “FFC 33” delivered an upset and a new champion, as Mykta Chub (18-7-0) defeated previously unbeaten champion Andi Vrtacic (10-1-0) por decisión dividida (47-48, 48-47, 48-47) to win the FFC Middleweight Kickboxing Title.

 

 

 

Chub and Vrtacic displayed a great deal of endurance during their five round war. Chub was able to pin Vrtacic into the corners quite often during this fight, frustrating the young Vrtacic and preventing him from using his signature high kicks. Vrtacici landed some nice head kicks and few solid combinations but it wasn’t enough to impress the judges, allowing Chub to steal the win, and the title.

 

 

 

In the Co-Main Event, which involved two very exciting MMA lightweight fighters, Darrick Memorias (22-9-0) wasted no time submitting former UFC Fighter, “Cassius” Clay Collard (16-8-1) by rear naked choke in the very first round. The submission victory, which was the 19th of Minner’s career, only took 31 seconds to execute.

 

 

 

Andre Keys (10-1-0) went the distance with Randy Fuentes (7-7-1) in their Super Welterweight Boxing bout. Keys won by split decision (55-59, 55-59, 58-56) in a fight that featured both fighters standing in the pocket and trading hard shots for the majority of their six round fight.

 

 

 

In a Kickboxing Lightweight matchup, despite breaking his left arm in the fight, Chris McMillan (38-10-0) won a split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) against Teo Mikelic (18-7-0) in a fight that featured some vicious kicks and crisp punches by both fighters.

 

 

 

The night began with Sherrard Blackledge (1-0-0) winning his professional MMA debut by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-27) over Jordan Christensen (0-2-0) in the Welterweight division.

 

 

 

“Most of these fights ended up going the distance and the fighters did not disappoint tonight,” said FFC CEO/Founder, Orsat Zovko. “FFC 33 showcased a lot of endurance and toughness and delivered an entertaining show for the fans.”

 

 

 

“FFC 33” took place at its permanent home, “Fight Dome”, which is located at Caesars Entertainment’s Rio Las Vegas. The event aired nationwide on CBS Sports Network.

 

 

 

Final Fight Championship (FFC) is the first and only professional combat sports franchise offering fans a unique ‘multi-discipline’ experiencia (Boxeo, Kickboxing and MMA), where every event culminates with a championship title bout.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legado Combate Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, un enfrontamento de alto risco leve, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

O principal evento do LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Contacto” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 peso lixeiro Brandon “O Highlight Reel Humano” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Venres, 02 marzo at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Todo o card principal será transmitido en directo en todo o país e na TV AXS en 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“Estou animado para traer o campionato mundial de peso lixeiro LFA ao Ballroom Minnetonka dentro do novo Mystic Lake Center at LFA 34”, stated Soares. “Tivemos catro eventos fantásticos en Mystic Lake o ano pasado. Estou feliz de anunciar que LFA e Mystic Lake Casino ten un acordo en vigor para producir catro eventos en directo en rede nacional de MMA nas instalacións de clase mundial de Mystic Lake en 2018. 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 02 marzo.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins estará dispoñible dispoñible para compra Xaneiro 26 en MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. O home coñecido como “Contacto” 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 en novembro. 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) gañou a súa oportunidade de LFA ouro tras vencer unha das loitas máis memorables de 2017. O home coñecido como “O Highlight Reel Humano” 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 “Loita do Ano” persoa nomeada. A vitoria completou unha exitosa 2017 para o garda de seguridade Mystic Lake, que comezou cunha vitoria por TKO sobre Billy Christianson en LFA 2. Curiosamente, o revés solitario do ano chegou nas tarxetas de puntuación de LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, o favorito local perdeu por decisión dividida na súa cidade natal. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Agora que ten os ollos postos en LFA ouro no LFA 34.
O co-evento principal do LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) fixo unha gran declaración no seu debut LFA en LFA 20 último verán, cando deixou RFA vet Carl Wittstock vía mata-león no interior dos dous primeiros minutos da rolda de apertura. 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) necesitou menos de media un partido no LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, como Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. A vitoria veu contra T.J. Brown e configurar un enfrontamento cun home que fixo unha estrea promoción case idéntico. 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. Despois dun seis e un hiato semestre do deporte, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Kobold (18-3-2) é unha das mulleres máis respectadas no deporte. Ela ten gozar dunha carreira no MMA profesional ilustre que se remonta a preto de dezaseis anos. 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.
