LFA

We’re in Oklahoma for a little LFA. The UFC has been really riding with the LFA recently, they’ve been promoting it, and they’ve been sending fighters over there to do commentary, and they’ve been really close to the organization. It is kind of unheard of for the LFA to keep a champion around for a long time

Terrence McKinney vs Michael Irizarry – 160 lbs

Round 1

McKinney comes out throwing highkicks that make him do backflips. McKinney throws some hands, Irizarry tries to wrestle, McKinney wrestles him off, Irizarry gets wrestled down, and McKinney postures up in his guard and rains down right hands. McKinney knocks Irizarry out cold.🚩 McKinney wins by KO read more

Josh Fremd vs Gregory Rodrigues – Middleweight

Round 1

Fremd starts out with Jabs. Rodrigues is patient and rocks Fremd. Rodrigues settles down and KOs Fremd with a 1-2. 🚩Rodrigues wins by KO

At range Fremd looked a little out of his element. when the fight slows down, Fremd looks a little out of ideas. When there is chaos, that’s when Fremd shines. Rodrigues didnt look that special to me, but he was composed, he is the LFA middleweight champ, and he will be in the UFC

Mark Climaco vs Rodney Kealohi – Flyweight

Round 1

Climaco gets close and wrestles Kealohi

Round 2

Climaco throws good hands and wrestles read more

LFA, Shawnee, OK, Great fights

Main event

Joshua Silveira vs Rafael Viana – Light Heavyweight

Round 1

Silveira gets a big double leg, takes the back, and gets the rear naked choke.🚩 Silveira wins by submission

I already know that Silveira is good at grappling! I’ve seen it! I want to see Silveira’s hands. The LFA should find a wrestler to fight Silveira. -That’s the ticket

Luis Gavinho vs Terrence McKinney – Lightweight

Round 1

McKinney walks Gavinho down, throws some feints with this hands, and throws a big left Highkick. It drops Gavinho, McKinney falls after the kick, but had the wherewithal to finish Gavinho with strikes. 🚩McKinney wins by TKO read more

LFA, doing what they do. I had to pick between watching LFA 105 and the PFL. I chose the organization that uses all the MMA rules. LFA – Full MMA

Main Event

Svetlana Gotsyk vs Piera Rodriguez – Strawweight

Round 1

Gotsyk with a lot of movement, and lands some big shots

Round 2

Gotsyk lands some big counters but Rodriguez comes back and lands some big shots

Round 3

Close Round

Round 4

Back and fourth

Round 5

Gotsyk shoots for a takedown and Rodriguez is able to reverse it and get to back mount. Rodriguez rains down strikes. 🚩Rodriguez wins by TKO

Usually LFA champs can go straight to the UFC. I dont think this is the case for these ladies. Rodriguez has better strikes, but her footwork is atrocious. Gotsyk has good footwork, but she looks like a pad-hitter. I’m just not impressed. I think they rushed into crowning a new LFA strawweight champ. Maybe Gotsyk was booked, and they had to find someone to fight her on short notice. Anyway, I think Loveth Young awaits read more

I hate being able to chose between which high level promotion I want to watch. LFA and Bellator, get your stuff together. Great fights. I picked the LFA, 1. Because I like to see young talent & 2. I cover LFA. I only cover LFA because they started in Texas BTW. And it looks like I’ll be covering A LOT more Fury FC now that they’re on FightPass and their production has gotten a lot better. Gilbert Melendez was great on the mic, at this show

Main Event

Brandon Phillips vs Aaron McKenzie – Lightweight

Round 1

Phillips landing and looking faster. But McKenzie grows as the round goes on, McKenzie started the round looking very bad IMO read more

LFA 103 took place in Shawnee, OK. The Promotion still has a limited crowd there. I actually expect the LFA to make the move down to Texas fairly soon. Texas is opened up, and the counties are the ones that blocking a lot of crowd gartherin’s. As the vaccination numbers go up, I expect the state to open up more. In the main even of LFA 103 Spike Carlyle beat Batsumberel Dagvadorj by submission, in an exciting contest.

Main Event

Spike Carlyle vs Batsumberel Dagvadorj – Lightweight

Round 1

Big Right Hook by Spike Carlyle hits Dagvadorj flush and the Mongolian just eats it. Dagvadorj continues to eat shots and come forward, and the Mongolian really uses his chin as a defensive weapon to get on the inside. Dagvadorj closes the distance and begins to land some shots of his own. Carlyle gets the takedown works to the back and locks in the RNC.🚩 Carlyle wins by submission read more

Ok, so The LFA is using taglines now. I like it, good marketing. They can sell the fighters’ records without actually selling the fighters… shhh… like I said, Good Marketing. They Also moved from their Kansas Home to set up shop in Shawnee, Oklahoma for LFA 101: Undefeated. Tee Cummins beats Anthony Kalani by TKO in the 3rd round to win the main event.

Main Event

Tee Cummins vs Anthony Kalani – Light Heavyweight – Kalani missed weight

Round 1

Leg kicks by Cummins, and harder leg kicks by Kalani, they throw hands a few times

Round 2

Kicks from Cummins…same as the first read more

I trashed the LFA for their last show and now I have to congratulate them for LFA 100. It was a fun night of of fights. The Commentary was FANTASTIC. Michael Chiesa is the man for the job, I want to hear him call fights full time. I just think he meshed well with Ron Kruck, and the two person booth is all the LFA should ever use

Victor Altamirano beat Nate Smith to win the LFA Flyweight title at LFA 100

Main Event

Victor Altamirano vs Nate Smith – Flyweight

Round 1

Altamirano throws good kicks. Smith is looking a little immobile

Round 2

Smith is just not moving his feet and Altamirano is just touching him up read more

I’ve covered over two years of LFA shows, and this one was one of the the worst. Its certainly in the top 10 of the worst. The show was weird with that jam packed commentary booth, and the calls aren’t as technical as the previous color commentator. And the fights were a bit drab. lmao I’m complaining a lot huh? Moving on… One good thing about this card is it featured all the men’s weight classes except Bantamweight

Fabio Cherant beat Myron Dennis in a 5 round one-punch-at a-time bore-fest to win the LFA LHW title read more
