LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will make its first trip to the Central Valley of California in September with a women’s flyweight title fight headlining LFA 51.

 

 

 

The main event of LFA 51 will bring a highly-anticipated women’s world title fight to the San Joaquin Valley. The headliner will see undefeated LFA women’s flyweight champion Sabina “Colombian Queen” Mazo defend her title against LFA women’s flyweight top contender Jaimee “Queenie” Nievera. LFA 51 – Mazo vs. Nievera takes place Friday, September 28th at the Selland Arena in Fresno, Californië. De gehele belangrijkste kaart zal live worden uitgezonden en de landelijke op AXS TV bij 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA to Fresno at LFA 51”, Opgegeven Soares. “This will be our fifth show in my home state of California. The Central Valley has great fight fans and a lot of MMA talent. We look forward to packing the Selland Arena on September 28th with a fantastic fight card headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between champion Sabina Mazo and top contender Jaimee Nievera.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 51 – Mazo vs. Nievera are available for purchase NOW at Ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Klein (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. De “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 “Prospect van het Jaar” 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.

Olympic medalist Nico Hernandez injured, “KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” postponed

Laat een reactie achter
Februari. 10 bij Hartman Arena in Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (November 27, 2017) – Due to an injury suffered by 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez last week at training camp, deze zaterdag overnachting “KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” kaart, gepresenteerd door KO Night Boxing LLC, has been postponed until Februari 10, op dezelfde locatie, Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.
The 21-year-old Hernandez was scheduled to headline the event in his hometown against Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Klein rood” Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight championship.
The promoter plans to keep the card intact, as much as possible, and he is hopeful that Ajtai is available to challenge Hernandez for the IBA Americas title.
“Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing, but the good news is that Nico will be 100-percent ready to go February 10th,” promotor John Andersen zei. “I know that Nico feels that he’s letting everybody down but, aan het einde van de dag, all that really counts is his health. He’s a tough kid who has his entire pro career ahead of him.”
“Over the last six months, Nico has become like family to the Hartman Arena staff,” said Hartman Arena Executive Director, Ben Bolander. “We wish the best for him and hope for a speedy recovery, so we can see him back here in February fighting for the title.”

2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez & Hungarian champion Jozsef Ajtai have taken different paths into pro ranks

Laat een reactie achter
“KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” voor
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
December. 2 bij Hartman Arena in Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (November 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Klein rood” 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, Zaterdag nacht, December 2, op de “KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” kaart, bij Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” is een presentatie van KO Night Boxing LLC., in samenwerking met Hartman Arena, en werd gedeeltelijk gesponsord door Twister Stad Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Mort's sigarenbar enJimmy’s Egg.
De actie zal live worden afgeplakt voor toekomstige uitzending op CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), uitvechten van Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 record, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympische Spelen in Brazilië. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, echter, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, die een jaar en zes dagen jonger dan Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ jaar geleden, 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, hopelijk, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 pro gevechten, 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, de voormalige World Boxing Organization (WBO) vlieggewicht wereldkampioen. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Spanje, Duitsland, Oekraïne en Slowakije. 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.
“Dit is een grote kans voor mij. 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. en, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, natuurlijk, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, hij komt om te winnen!
“Nico zal niet weten waar ik zal zijn in de ring,” Ajtai voorspeld. “Wanneer hij naar links voor mij, Ik ga naar rechts; wanneer hij probeert om mij te vinden aan de rechterzijde, Ik zal aan de linkerkant. Als hij wil om te rusten, Ik zal naar voren komen ponsen; als hij wil slaan, Hij zal mij niet vinden.
“Ik heb een plan voor deze strijd en ik weet zeker dat hij dat ook doet. Maar, in de ring, enige plan dat een vechter kan slagen. Het gaat om een ​​goed gevecht te zijn, maar ik kan het publiek dat Nico de winnaar zal niet beloven.”
De volledige “Goud & Glorie” card will be announced later this week. Alle gevechten en vechters zijn aan verandering.

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Oktober 23, 2017) – 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Zaterdag, December 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “Klein rood” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, hemelbekleding “KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” bij Hartman Arena in Park City, Kansas.

“KO Night Boksen: Goud & Glorie” is een presentatie van KO Night Boxing LLC., in samenwerking met Hartman Arena, en werd gedeeltelijk gesponsord door Twister Stad Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Mort's sigarenbar en Jimmy Egg.

De actie zal live worden afgeplakt voor toekomstige uitzending op CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), uitvechten van Wichita, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 pond. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 en 59-55 tweemaal.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 pro gevechten, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, de voormalige World Boxing Organization (WBO) vlieggewicht wereldkampioen.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ promotor John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) zei. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. 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 pond.
“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.”
“We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges toegevoegd. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future. His amateur pedigree speaks for itself and we’re very happy to have this young man fighting for the IBA Americas title.”
IBA world champions during the past quarter-century include Hall-of-Famers Oscar de la Hoya,George Foreman, Roberto Duran en Arturo Gatti, as well as stars such as Roy Jones, Jr.,Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson en Antonio Tarver.

BELLATOR WOMEN’S FLYWEIGHT CHAMP TO BE CROWNED IN 2017

Laat een reactie achter

 

LOS ANGELES – Bellator is pleased to announce the signings of Valérie Létourneau (8-6), Alejandra Lara (6-1), Sabriye Şengül(Debuut), Kristi Lopez (2-0), Na Liang (6-0) en Juliana Velasquez (5-0) to multi-fight contracts that will see them compete in Bellator’s emerging 125-pound division. Daarnaast, Bellator will look to crown its next women’s flyweight world champion this year.

“2017 has been a big year for us in terms of bringing in marquee free agents that can have an immediate impact on their division,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “This group of flyweight signings demonstrates that we’re committed to that throughout our roster, as we’re adding even more depth to an already-competitive weight class. We’re adding a proven title contender, along with a group of prospects from all around the globe, and we look forward to putting on great fights and displaying the talent this division has to offer.”

These news stars join a division that already includes talented fighters, such as Keri Taylor-Melendez (1-0), Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (6-0),Anastasia Yankova (5-0), Emily Ducote (5-2), Colleen Schneider (11-7) en Lena Ovchynnikova (12-4, 1 NC).

The Canadian-born Létourneau, a former UFC strawweight title challenger, carries an impressive track record of thrilling fights, highlighted by a world title contest against undefeated UFC champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk. Nu, moving up to a more natural weight class, the 33-year-old American Top Team product will make her debut for Bellator in 2017. She will look to improve upon her eight victories as a professional, a tally that includes five finishes, with four coming by way of knockout.

Hailing from Medellin, Colombia, Alejandra Lara will look to make a statement in Bellator’s budding women’s flyweight division. The 22-year-old knockout artist has earned six victories in seven outings since making her professional debut in 2011. “Azul” has shown tenacity in her fights thus far, showcasing a pair of first round knockouts, as well as a first round armbar submission. Lara trains alongside UFC fighters Alexa Grasso and Irene Aldana at Team Lobo in Mexico.

Fighting out of Hollywood, Calif., Kristi Lopez will enter the Bellator fray as she prepares for her third professional bout. Daarvoor, “Loba” also tallied three victories over a four-fight, two-year span on the amateur circuit.

Chinese submission specialist Na Liang will look to build on a 2017 campaign that already saw her finish an opponent in a mere 38 seconden. The first-round stoppage marked the fifth time in six appearances that Liang’s opposition failed to make it out of the opening round. After competing exclusively at bantamweight to begin her career, Liang decided to move down to the flyweight division, where she also saw success by collecting a trio of first round finishes.

With an impressive following in Turkey from her kickboxing career, Sabriye Şengül will now transition to MMA under the direction of Bellator. With a professional kickboxing record of 6-1, the 26-year-old prospect holds the potential to achieve the same success in multiple combat sport disciplines.

Undefeated at 30 jaar, Juliana Velasquez trains under the Nogueira brothers in Brazil, carrying one of the most famous names in MMA with her inside the Bellator cage. Daarnaast, Juliana trains alongside fellow Bellator flyweight Bruna Vargas. With five wins in five appearances, the Rio de Janeiro resident will look to become another Brazilian Bellator champion.
