Mazo (5-0) is the 21-year-old LFA women’s flyweight champion that took the MMA world by storm in 2017. The Colombian wunderkind signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and quickly burst onto the global scene 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. Lub “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 51.

 

 

 

Nievera (7-4) earned her shot at LFA gold this past June with a dominant LFA debut win against the 2016 RFA Fans’ Choice Awards “Zeem muag ntawm lub xyoo” winner Katy Collins. The unanimous decision win came in Collins’ hometown of Branson, Missouri at LFA 42 just a few months after Collins had been ranked #4 on AXS TV’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound rankings. The win immediately caught the attention of UFC matchmakers and Nievera was offered a main event spot on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series against Antonina Shevchenko. The 33-year-old Bellator veteran showed her gameness by accepting the fight on a week’s notice against Shevchenko, who is an undefeated MMA prospect, Muay Thai world champion, and the older sister of UFC #1 contender Valentina Shevchenko. Nievera displayed a ton of heart and skill, but did not get the result she wanted. The Union City, California native now has a chance to flip the script with a title winning performance in front of her home crowd at LFA 51.

“KO Hmo ntuj Boxing: kub & Glory” rau
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Dec. 2 ntawm Hartman Arena nyob rau hauv chaw ua si Lub nroog, KS
TIAJ UA SI NROOG, Kansas (Kaum Ib Hlis Ntuj 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Me liab” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.
Hernandez vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, Saturday hmo ntuj, Kaum Ob Hlis Ntuj 2, nyob rau hauv lub “KO Hmo ntuj Boxing: kub & Glory” card, ntawm Hartman Arena nyob rau hauv chaw ua si Lub nroog, Kansas.
“KO Hmo ntuj Boxing: kub & Glory” yog ib tug kev nthuav qhia ntawm KO Hmo ntuj Boxing LLC., nyob rau hauv lub koom haum nrog Hartman Arena, thiab kev txhawb nqa nyob rau hauv ib feem los ntawm Twister City Harley Davidson- Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar thiabJimmy’s Egg.
Qhov kev txiav txim yuav tsum muaj kev sib tw nyob rau yav tom ntej airing on CBS Cov kev ua si Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Kos), sib ntaus sib tua tawm ntawm Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 cov ntaub ntawv, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympic ua si nyob rau hauv Brazil. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, thiab hauv kev siv TV hauv tebchaws. His fight against Ajtai, Txawm li cas los, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, uas yog ib lub xyoo thiab rau hnub nyoog yau dua Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 Kos) has already had 28 pro sib ntaus, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, lub qub ntiaj teb Boxing Organization (WBO) Flyweight ntiaj teb no yeej. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spain, Lub teb chaws yelemees, Ukraine thiab Slovakia. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Qhov no yog ib tug loj lub sij hawm rau kuv. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (vs. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. thiab, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, ntawm chav kawm, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, nws tuaj los yeej!
“Nico yuav tsis paub tias qhov twg kuv yuav tsum tau nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib,” Ajtai kwv yees. “Thaum nws zoo mus rau sab laug rau kuv, Kuv yuav mus rau sab xis; thaum nws ncav mus nrhiav tau kuv nyob rau txoj cai, Kuv yuav nyob ntawm sab laug. Thaum nws xav mus so, Kuv yuav tuaj rau pem hauv ntej xuas nrig ntaus; thaum nws xav tshum, nws yuav tsis pom kuv.
“Kuv muaj ib lub hom phiaj rau qhov no sib ntaus thiab kuv paub hais tias nws tsis zoo li. Tab sis, nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib, tsuas yog ib fighter txoj hau kev yuav kawm tau ntawv zoo. Nws tseem yuav mus yuav ib tug zoo sib ntaus, tab sis kuv yuav tsis cog lus rau pej xeem uas Nico yuav yog tus khiav.”
The full “kub & Glory” card will be announced later this week. Tag nrho cov sib ntaus thiab tua hluav taws yuav raug hloov.

Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 phaus.
“Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. In the flyweight division, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.”
