LAS VEGAS, 內華達 – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will head deep in the heart of Texas in October with a high-stakes bantamweight showdown at the top of LFA 52.
The main event of LFA 52 will feature a good old-fashioned showdown between Texas natives and top LFA bantamweights Ray “The Judge” Rodriguez and Chris “El Guapo” 古鐵雷斯. LFA 52 – 羅德里格斯VS. Gutierrez takes place Friday, October 19th at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, 得克薩斯州. 整個主卡將被電視直播，並在全國范圍AXS電視上的 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“I am excited to bring LFA to the Centroplex of Texas at LFA 52,” 規定蘇亞雷斯. “Ray Rodriguez and Chris Gutierrez are two of the top prospects in Texas and they both looked great in their LFA debuts. Now they have the chance to gain Texas bragging rights, while establishing divisional dominance. They will face each other in the main event of LFA 52 at the Bell County Expo Center on Friday, October 19th.”
Tickets for LFA 52 – 羅德里格斯VS. Gutierrez are available for purchase NOW at LFATIX.com
羅德里格斯 (13-4) is a San Antonio native that is arguably one of the most accomplished fighters to hail from Alamo City. Over the past three years, he has defeated eight consecutive opponents, but ironically the man known as “The Judge” only let those eight fights go to the judge’s scorecards twice during the streak. Rodriguez now has his sights set on winning gold on a global stage. In order to jump into the title picture in a stacked LFA bantamweight division, the talented Texan is looking to make an example of an intrastate rival in the biggest MMA event to hit Central Texas this year. Judgement Day for “The Judge” comes Friday, October 19th at LFA 52.
Guiterrez (11-2-1) is perhaps the only Texan to experience a similar level of success as Rodriguez within the ultra-competitive LFA bantamweight division. Both men picked up marquee wins over top-tier Brazilian opposition in their promotional debuts. The wins took place 6 months apart from each other and chatter within the “Lone Star State” reached a fever pitch about a possible clash between the state’s two bantamweight kingpins. “El Guapo” expects to be rewarded handsomely with a second straight win over an LFA main event victor. 古鐵雷斯, a Greenville native, will meet the surging San Antonian in an epic I-35 showdown in Belton, 得克薩斯州.
