HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will return to Minnesota in March with a lightweight title fight, un high-stakes prova di forza leggera, and the return of a women’s MMA pioneer.

L'evento principale della LFA 34 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert “Contatto” Watley when he defends his title against LFA #1 leggero contendente Brandon “Il Highlight Reel umana” Jenkins. LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins takes place Venerdì, 2 marzo at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“Sono entusiasta di portare il campionato del mondo leggero LFA alla sala da ballo Minnetonka all'interno del nuovo Mystic Lake Center presso LFA 34”, Dichiarato Soares. “Abbiamo avuto quattro eventi fantastici al Mystic Lake lo scorso anno. Sono felice di annunciare che LFA e Mystic Lake Casino hanno un accordo in atto per produrre quattro dal vivo eventi MMA televisivi a livello nazionale alla struttura di classe mondiale di Mystic Lake in 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 2 marzo.”
Tickets for LFA 34 – Watley vs. Jenkins sarà disponibile disponibile per l'acquisto Gennaio 26 a MysticLake.com.
Watley (9-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect in the world. L'uomo conosciuto come “Contatto” 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 nel mese di novembre. 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) guadagnato il suo colpo a LFA oro dopo aver vinto una delle battaglie più memorabili della 2017. L'uomo conosciuto come “Il Highlight Reel umana” 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 “Fight of the Year” candidato. La vittoria ha completato con successo 2017 per la guardia di sicurezza Mystic Lake, che ha iniziato con una vittoria TKO su Billy Christianson a LFA 2. È interessante notare che, la battuta d'arresto solitario dell'anno è venuto sulle carte punteggio di LFA 20. While many felt that Jenkins had done more than enough to earn the decision, il favorito locale sganciato una decisione spaccata nella sua città natale. Jenkins wasted no time reflecting on the controversial decision and quickly rebounded with his epic win over Wittstock. Ora ha i suoi occhi puntati sulla LFA oro alla LFA 34.
Il co-main event della LFA 34 will feature a battle between two of the LFA’s top lightweight contenders. Perzynski (22-9) fatto una grande dichiarazione al suo debutto LFA alla LFA 20 la scorsa estate, quando ha smesso RFA veterinario Carl Wittstock via posteriore nuda Choke all'interno delle prime due minuti della gara di 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) necessaria meno di mezzo giro in LFA 21 last summer to match Perzynski’s accomplishment one week earlier at LFA 20. Ogden, come Perzynski, also used a Rear Naked Choke to defeat an RFA vet in his LFA debut. La vittoria è arrivata contro T.J. Brown e impostare una resa dei conti con un uomo che ha fatto un debutto promozionale quasi identico. 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 “Mitragliatrice” Kelly Kobold. Dopo un un anno pausa di sei e mezzo dallo sport, she made her return to MMA last summer at LFA 20.
Folletto (18-3-2) è una delle donne più rispettate in questo sport. Ha goduto di una illustre carriera professionale MMA che risale a quasi sedici anni. 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.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will make its third trip to Minnesota at the end of August with a welterweight headliner and the return of two revered Minnesotans.
L'evento principale della LFA 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes takes place Venerdì, August 25th at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minnesota. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, Dichiarato Soares. “We have a great history of bringing exciting fights to the area, and this card will continue that tradition. Both Curry and Barnes have shown to be aggressive, physical fighters, and I really want to see how this match up plays out. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we look forward to bringing LFA 20 to the Mystic Lake Showroom on August 25th.”
Tickets for LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.
Curry (9-1) has transformed himself from one of Minnesota’s most popular fighters to one of the sport’s most exciting and promising prospects. The man aptly known as “Blitz” has decimated his last two opponents since moving up to welterweight. Infatti, all nine men that he has defeated, never saw the final round. Curry is able to do this by utilizing a unique blend of technical grappling and stout ground-and-pound. The 27-year-old Minnesotan now faces a huge test as he gets set to headline his first televised event at LFA 20.
Barnes (11-2) makes his LFA debut roughly twelve months after competing for the RFA welterweight world title. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, California home, has taken the time since that fight to strengthen his already formidable skill set. After coming up short in that title fight to a man who was then immediately signed to the UFC, the 26-year-old known as “The Phoenix” will look to live by the famous words of S.A. Sachs: “Hope rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams.” The Phoenix will look to rise again at LFA 20.
Il co-main event della LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up between two of the promotion’s top featherweightcontenders. Poliziotto “The Wolfman” Moffett (9-2) e “Nasty” Nate Jennerman (9-2) will face off in a high-stakes affair as the two contenders jockey for position at the top of the division. The pair of featherweight standouts share more than just identical records. They both have roots in the famed RFA promotion. Moffett who trains at The MMA LAB in Glendale, Arizona competed three times for the RFA. Nel frattempo, Jennerman who trains at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin finished his amateur career for the promotion.
The main card of LFA 20 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer Kelly “Blood Red” Folletto. Dopo un un anno pausa di sei e mezzo dallo sport, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Knuckles” Stanley.
Folletto (18-3-1) è una delle donne più rispettate in questo sport. She has enjoyed an illustrious professional MMA career that dates back fifteen years. A true pioneer in women’s MMA, the warrior known as “Blood Red” has been there moving behind the scenes, cutting a bloody path through the ages until suddenly, just like that, she up and disappeared in 2011. Now she is back at 125-pounds, ready to stake a claim at the top of the division.
Stanley (5-3) will be the woman waiting to welcome Kobold back to the sport she helped pioneer. The San Diego native has built a career around an explosive striking base that has earned her a reputation as one of the most feared knockout artists in the division. The RFA vet holds one of the fastest knockouts in combat sports. That knockout came in 5-seconds with a highlight reel Flying Spinning Hook Kick back in 2014. “Knuckles” has earned four of her five wins by way of KO or TKO and now looks to pick up the biggest win of her career at LFA 20.
