You use this site to get a gist of how fighters are, before they hit the big leagues. I like that. I like seeing how fighters evolve over time. After you look at how I think they did, by all means -watch the fight!! There is no substitute for that.

Anyway, we were at the LFA Apex (Park City, Kansas) for LFA 98. The Kansas commission is very responsive. They enjoy their MMA fans and they are just some common-sense folk. Even though I dont agree with the open scoring in Kansas, the Kansas commission is easily one of the best MMA commissions out there, and that’s why LFA is in that State right now. At LFA 98 Josh Fremd beat Bruno Oliveira in the LFA Middleweight semi-finals, to move on to the finals. Fremd will face either Anthony Adams or Gregory Rodrigues in the final. read more

OK, so the LFA is back, bringing you great fights as usual. They switched up their broadcast team a little bit. Pat Miletich is no longer present. I dont want to get political nor personal here, but Pat Miletich is a fantastic commentator. When he’s not biased to fighters that he knows, he calls great fights. Its a shame that they lost him IMO. They had the three person booth at LFA and…. for me…. it was just too crowded. The two person booth works so much better for a show like the LFA, and I’m not a fan of two commentators talking about their own Jiu Jitsu classes while a fight is going on. Ron Kruck is still there, and he had a good night quaterbacking the broadcast team, but 3 people -I just dont like it. read more

So LFA 93 Went down in Park City, Kansas. A good show. Not as good as I thought it was going to be though. I thought Sam Hughes was going to fight Cynthia Arceo, and for some reason I thought I’d get to see Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady. For the most part the show delivered. The LFA went with the live scoring option from the Kansas commission for the 2nd time… Live scoring… its…. OK. Its only useful if they think that the judges aren’t scoring the fights at the correct times. -If that is the case, I think the judges should submit their round by round results to a representative of the promotion, they dont have to show the scores to the corners. When they show the scores to the corners, It takes away some of the drama of the fight, its also gives some fighters an incentive to play it safe. Eh… that’s just my 2 cents. In the Main-event at LFA 93, Middleweight Aaron Jeffery stopped Andre Petroski in the 2nd round via Knee and strikes read more

So its a tough time for MMA in Texas right now. There were zero local shows in Texas in the last six months and a lot of fighters are heaving a hard time. Guys can travel to places like Florida to try to get fights, but the fighters would have to have those connections already made, and they’d have to stop working to make the trip. Yes, All local fighters have jobs. The LFA is doing a good job getting fighters out to Sioux Falls, and putting on good shows. It would be nice if they could find a more central location for the fighters – But in this pandemic, you have to take what you can get. read more
