LAS VEGAS, Nevada – O CEO da LFA, Ed Soares, anunciou hoje que a promoção irá coroar um rei e uma rainha peso galo com uma dobradinha no campeonato quando a promoção retornar a Dallas em novembro.

 

 

O evento principal do LFA 55 contará com uma luta pelo título do galo quando o potencial invicto Miles Johns luta contra o outro candidato Adrian Yanez pelo título vago. O co-headliner contará com uma luta pelo título galo feminino quando a rainha regional Sarah “Muito doce” Alpar” enfrenta a superestrela panamenha Joselyne “A Pantera” Edwards pelo título inaugural. LFA 55 – Johns vs. Yanez acontece nesta sexta-feira, 30 de novembro na The Bomb Factory em Dallas, Texas. Todo o card principal será transmitido ao vivo em todo o país e na TV AXS em 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT

 

 

“Estou animado para trazer um campeonato duplo para o local de nascimento do LFA,” stated Soares. “Coroaremos um rei e uma rainha peso galo quando voltarmos a Dallas em 30 de novembro. Miles Johns e Adrian Yanez são dois de nossos candidatos mais talentosos. Eles se encontrarão pelo título vago galo na luta principal da LFA 55. Também coroaremos o campeão peso galo feminino inaugural quando Sarah Alpar enfrentar Joselyne Edwards no co-headliner do LFA55.”

 

 

 

Ingressos para LFA 55 – Johns vs. Yanez estão disponíveis para compra AGORA em TheBombFactory.com.

 

 

 

Johns (7-0) vai para esta luta pelo título procurando pontuar o que tem sido uma excelente carreira até este ponto. O nativo de Kansas, quem agora chama Dallas de casa, terá a chance de ganhar ouro LFA e executar seu recorde para 8-0. Isso o posicionaria como o melhor candidato indiscutível peso galo do mundo. A potência conhecida como “Chapo” ganhou seu apelido temível por seu comportamento implacável dentro do octógono. O destaque do Fortis MMA, de 24 anos, venceu suas últimas três lutas pelo LFA e Legacy FC (antes da fusão), que inclui a submissão de um comunicado sobre o outro candidato invicto Eric Ellington no LFA 40. Johns agora vai aumentar a aposta em busca de um desempenho vencedor do título em sua primeira luta como atração principal para a promoção na LFA 55.

 

 

 

Yanez (7-2) é um destaque do LFA e também de Houston que tentará jogar spoiler em uma longa rivalidade esportiva entre Dallas e Houston, que é conhecido como Rivalidade I-45. Yanez, como Johns, ganhe na promoção. Depois de desfrutar de uma fantástica carreira amadora no Legacy FC (antes da fusão), Yanez continuou seu sucesso como profissional. Isso inclui vencer suas duas últimas lutas pelo LFA de forma enfática. Eles eram o tipo de luta que treinava, fãs, e os promotores reconhecem como momentos especiais na carreira de um jovem lutador. Os momentos em que um lutador se transforma de um candidato promissor em um candidato ao título legítimo. O destaque do Metro Fight Club de 24 anos agora parece dar o próximo passo óbvio ao se tornar o campeão no LFA 55.

 

 

 

Alpar (7-4) tem sido uma força no MMA feminino desde sua estreia profissional, sete anos e meio atrás. O Oklahoman conhecido como “Muito doce” tem sido tudo menos doce com a oposição dela. Mais recentemente, a jovem de 27 anos conquistou um título regional ao impedir a importante perspectiva paraguaia Pamela Boveda Aguirre por nocaute técnico no primeiro round. A vitória deu a Alpar dois títulos regionais, além de uma vitória marcante sobre Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger no início de sua carreira. Jones-Lybarger passou a lutar pelo UFC depois de ganhar o ouro da RFA. Alpar agora tentará abrir um caminho semelhante. Essa jornada começa com uma chance pelo título de galo feminino da LFA inaugural na LFA 55.

 

 

 

Edwards (8-1) é amplamente considerado o maior potencial peso galo feminino na América Latina. “A Pantera” tem sido imbatível nos últimos três anos, que inclui sete vitórias consecutivas. A jovem de 23 anos tem sete vitórias nas paragens em oito vitórias na carreira, que inclui uma vitória por TKO de 57 segundos sobre a veterinária do Bellator Jessica Middleton em maio e uma vitória no armlock no segundo round sobre a veterinária da RFA Brenda Gonzales no mês passado. As duas vitórias também lhe renderam dois títulos regionais. Agora que Edwards e Alpar são campeões-campeões no cenário regional, eles vão tentar ir all-in com o título feminino LFA inaugural e #1 status de cliente potencial peso galo feminino em jogo.

LFA CELEBRATES YEAR-END EVENT IN MINNESOTA WITH LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT

LFA 56 – HUBBARD vs. MOTA
MAIN EVENT:
MIDWEST POWERHOUSE
AUSTIN HUBBARD
vs.
UNDEFEATED BRAZILIAN PHENOM
KILLYS MOTA
LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT
Sexta-feira, DECEMBER 7th LIVE on AXS TV
LIVE at the NEW
MYSTIC LAKE CENTER
PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA
Os ingressos estão à venda AGORA através de MysticLake.com

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will celebrate its year-end event in Minnesota by crowning a new lightweight champion at LFA 56. This event will conclude a stellar 2018 for LFA, which consisted of 27 events that took place cost-to-coast, across all four contiguous U.S. fusos horários, and were televised live and nationwide on AXS TV.

 

 

 

O evento principal do LFA 56 will feature a lightweight title fight when Midwest powerhouse Austin Hubbard faces top undefeated Brazilian prospect Killys Mota for the vacant strap. LFA 56 – Hubbard vs. Mota takes place Friday, December 7th at the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Todo o card principal será transmitido ao vivo em todo o país e na TV AXS em 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

I am excited to bring our year-end event at the world-class Mystic Lake Center in Minnesota”, stated Soares. “LFA has enjoyed two incredible years since the merger of RFA and Legacy created our promotion. LFA 56 will punctuate year number two in style. It will be the fourth nationally televised MMA event to take place inside Mystic Lake’s new world-class facility in 2018. Mystic Lake has been a wonderful partner and it will now host the LFA lightweight world title fight between Austin Hubbard and Killys Mota on December 7th.

 

 

 

Ingressos para LFA 56 – Hubbard vs. Mota are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.

 

 

 

Hubbard (9-2) returns to the LFA Octagon fresh off the most impressive win of his career. That win took place in his LFA debut in May against fellow top prospect Harvey Park. The fight took place at LFA 39 in Vail, Colorado. The resort town is over 8,000 feet above sea level and the event broke AXS TV’s record for the highest elevated event in network history. The 26-year-old Illinois native, that currently trains at Elevation Fight Team in Denver, was able to withstand the thin air and won a war of attrition against the talented New Mexico based Sheriff’s Deputy, who was riding a 7-fight win streak. Hubbard earned a shot at the vacant title with that gritty performance and will now travel back home to the Midwest with his sights set on becoming LFA’s second lightweight champion.

 

 

 

Mota (11-0) will get his LFA title shot after doing what every fighter dreams of achieving after their first 11 lutas profissionais. That would be attaining a perfect 11-0 registro. During the course of that streak, Mota famously knocked out UFC and PRIDE legend Akihiro Gono in his native Brazil. Contudo, it was his most recent win that was his most important win. That came in his LFA debut in June against fellow top prospect Bobby Lee. The 27-year-old Glover Teixeira protégé stopped Lee just 21-seconds into the second round of their fight at LFA 41. The win came via Guillotine Choke after Mota battered Lee with his impressive Muay Thai arsenal. The win also came four weeks after Hubbard’s LFA debut win. Now their paths will finally meet at LFA 56 with the LFA lightweight title on the line.

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.

The Strong Team co-founder made her professional debut in 2016 e ganhou 7 wins in her career, while finishing 86% of those opponents. Yariwaki is known by her nicknameJapa”, because she was born in Brazil to Japanese descendants just like fellow Belém, Brazil native Lyoto Machida.

NEF MAKES HISTORY WITH NEW WEIGHT DIVISION AND TITLE FIGHT

Portland, Maine (Outubro 15, 2018) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” no sábado, Novembro 17 na Aura em Portland, Maine. Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional cruiserweight championship bout to the card. The Jamaican ShamrockRasRasquatchHylton(3-1) will meet undefeated Yorgan De Castro (2-0) to crown the first-ever NEF Professional Cruiserweight Champion.

The fight will officially give birth to the brand-new NEF cruiserweight division. This bout, as well as future bouts in the weight class, will take place at the 225-pound limit. The division, which sits between light-heavyweight and heavyweight, was approved as an official weight class for MMA by the Association of Boxing Commissions at their annual conference in July 2017. NEF will be one of the first promotions in the country to institute a cruiserweight division.

The adoption of new weight classes at the highest levels of the sport in order to account for the wide gaps in the current championship class structure is inevitable—we’re just getting there first,” disse NEF co-proprietário e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “There’s no more perfect way to usher in this new era of the 225-pound weight class than with a championship fight on the year-end “Battle for the Gold” show between two high-caliber, hungry opponents that NEF fans are very familiar with. This action-packed event was tailor made to include this breakthrough boutit’s just one more element to an already blistering card. Fans can be certain that they will get their money’s worth on November 17th.

Ras Hylton will return to the NEF cage after nearly a year-and-a-half absence. He is a five-fight veteran of the NEF cage where he is undefeated with three wins as an amateur and two as a professional. Em agosto passado, Hylton knocked out veteran Eric Bedard (6-8) in Rhode Island with a single elbow strike after absorbing a barrage of shots from Bedard that had little-to-no effect. Standing at a towering 6’6,Hylton holds a black belt in Taekwondo. He trains with both First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine and Dragon Fire Martial Arts of South Portland.

“I’m ecstatic about the response to my FaceTime call to action, and that I get to kick off my cruiserweight run back home,” said Hylton. “I’ve spoken at length about my dream to elevate the draw and excitement to see the heavier divisions, so I thank (NEF owners) Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo for working with me again, and launching the title here with NEF! Yorgan is a good strong fighter with heavy hands that I saw work against my best friend Nick Gulliver in another belt war. Now I move to follow ‘The Guardian’sexample, and keep the inaugural strap right here in Maine. Thanks for staying with us everyone!"

As Hylton noted, this will not be the first time Yorgan De Castro has come to Maine looking to take gold back with him to Massachusetts. De Castro faced Hylton’s teammate Nick Gulliver for the NEF Amateur Heavyweight Title in a losing effort at “NEF 26” almost two years to the day he will fight Hylton.

I’m very excited to become the first 225-pound NEF champion,” said De Castro. “We will be sure to put on a great show for the fans. I’ve been through some very dark moments in my all life and on November 17 I’ll make sure I bring all my demons with me and Ras will have to deal with them. This fight will be absolutely epic.

A native of Portugal now residing in the fighting city of Brockton, Massachusetts, De Castro has had success to date in his professional career. He has finished both of his previous opponents via technical knockout at light-heavyweight. For fighters like De Castro and Hylton, the creation of a cruiserweight division in NEF opens a new realm of career possibilities that did not exist before. De Castro was one of the first individual to respond positively to Hylton’s Face Time video calling for the creation of a cruiserweight division.

I’m excited to make my NEF debut as a professional fighter in the inaugural cruiserweight division,” De Castro continued. “This is a huge opportunity for fighters and I’m looking to make my mark in that division. I have nothing but respect for Ras—he’s a class act man and very tough—but he has never faced a more dedicated and focused Yorgan and on November 17, I’ll be victorious and write my name in NEF history.

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” will see the company make its return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday, Novembro 17, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.AuraMaine.com.
