LFA featherweight champion Kevin Aguilar recently got the opportunity to compete for a UFC contract,” Angiven Soares. “Damon Jackson and Nate Jennerman are the two winningest featherweights in LFA history. They will compete for the LFA interim featherweight title on August 10th. LFA started at The Bomb Factory at LFA 1 by unifying the Legacy FC and RFA bantamweight titles.

The former Legacy FC featherweight champion and three-time UFC veteran came up short against Kevin Aguilar that night, but has since strung together four consecutive submission victories inside the LFA Octagon. The NAIA All-American wrestler currently has the most wins in LFA history (5 vinner) and will look to continue his dominance and position himself for one of two preferred outcomes with a title win at LFA 47.

The Roufusport product is currently tied with LFA flyweight champion Maikel Perez for second most wins in LFA history (4 vinner) and will look to tie the promotion’s wins leader Jackson by defeating the man himself.

BANGOR FAN FAVORITES WILL DO BATTLE ON NEF 35 Kamp kort

Bangor, Maine (Juli 12, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” på September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Tidigare idag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jon Lemke (7-8) kommer att träffa Aron “Relentless” Lacey (5-2) vid en kamp vikt av 155-pounds.

Lemke is an eleven-fight veteran of the NEF cage and a perennial top contender in the promotion’s lightweight division. A member of Titan Athletics based in neighboring Brewer, Maine, Lemke has developed a massive following out of the Bangor area. He is a four-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. One of the highlights of Lemke’s career was scoring a victory over Jesse Erickson (9-7) before a nationally televised audience on the NEF co-promoted Bellator 93 event in Lewiston, Maine. He is coming off a unanimous decision win against Josh LaBerge (11-7) in Rhode Island last fall.

It is with great excitement and anticipation that I step back into the NEF cage to fight in front of my hometown friends and fans,” sade Lemke. “It is with equal enthusiasm that I fight Aaron Lacey, who is one of the best fighters in New England. This is going to be an absolute battle that fans will not want to miss.

For Lacey, the bout with Lemke will be the first time he has fought in the lightweight division since his amateur career. Lacey was victorious over Dom Cofone (6-6) in a 150-pound catchweight contest in the spring of 2014. Eftersom denna kamp, Lacey has competed nine timesall in the 145-pound featherweight division. The fight with Lemke presents an opportunity for Lacey to once again compete before his hometown fans and friends in the Queen City. A member of Bangor’s Young’s MMA, Lacey was scheduled to appear on NEF’s previous event at the Cross Insurance Center in the summer of 2017, but his opponent was forced out of the bout just hours prior to bell time when it was discovered that he was serving a medical suspension for a boxing loss in another jurisdiction. Lacey will look to bounce back from a loss to top prospect Da’Mon Blackshear (5-1) förra månaden på “NEF 34in Portland, Maine.

“I’m so excited to be fighting in Bangor,” utropade Lacey. Last time I was slated to fight in Bangor it did not work out. Min sista match (Blackshear) didn’t go my way, and I’m looking to fix some mistakes this fight. It won’t be easy for him. He will suffer, and I will test and then break his will! Bangor is my home, and I will defend it.

NEF nästa blandade martial-arts händelse, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Lördag, September 8, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Biljetter finns till försäljning nu på www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

FNU Combat Sports Visa: UFC Fight Night Recap, Pacquiao vs. Matthysse still on, “Big Rig” Retires

Denna vecka på FNU Combat Sports Show, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 GunsWright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Among the news we touch on:

The rumors about Manny Pacquiao’s next fight with Lucas Matthysse being in jeopardy, Manny and his team say everything is on track.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks retires (also forgot to mention Rashad Evans retired as well).

 

The latest cast for The Contender Series, set to return this August featuring 16 up and coming young boxers in the 160-pound division.
