High in Vail, Co
I usually love the LFA. Every time I watch a show they usually show me someone new and that is interesting, not today. This Sioux Falls, South Dakota show was a little disappointing. A lot of fighters at the local level definitely have what it takes to to fight at the next level, but the fighters on this particular card have to make massive improvements if they what to move up
Main Event
Round 1
Park is so stiff, he’s just asking to get KOed. He fights a little bit like Justin Gaethje- anyway Park eats a few combos in the beginning. Park throws some kicks to create distance and then he rocks Jackson with a right hand. He puts Jackson on the ground and then he rains down punches. The referee stops it at the bell. 🚩 Park wins by TKO
OK. So you can check out what went down at the LFA 62 prelims here
Most People show up to the Bomb Factory right before the Main Card. All the roid monkeys, and the douchebags fade away, and only the fighters and the nerds are left in the crowd

Kenney starts off by feeling out his opponent. He hits him with some spinning techniques to the gut. Cachero is bouncing around and moving well but he does not respect Kenney’s ability to hurt him. Kenney hits Cachero with a reinforced knee and Knocks him out.
🚩 Kenney wins by KO
A Blog Post.
So, this is my first LIVE event. Yes, I’ve never been to a live MMA event, and this is my first one. I feel like I’ve been watching MMA forever though. I watch boxing, I watch Muay Thai once in a while, I watch grappling competitions when I can, but I’ve never been to a live MMA event.
I went to Dallas to check out LFA 62. The venue was The Bomb factory, located in Deep Ellum close to all the bars and night clubs on a Friday night. After about 9 p.m. Traffic gets Jacked.
The LFA was in Prior Lake, MN. The main card was a little bland, but learned about the fighters, and we saw what some of the local talent had to offer.
Main Event
Round 1
Allen comes out hard and takes Murrietta down. Murrietta looks like he’s out of ideas when he’s on his back, and Allen looks slow on top. At times Allen is just holding Murrietta down
Round 2
Murrietta comes out hard. Allen comes back with a combo of his own and then takes Murrietta down. Allen gets in full mount and begins to throw short shots, but he’s not doing a lot of work
LFA 60 kept it rolling, and the promotion stopped in Des Moines, Iowa, to take a look at some of the Local talent
Main Card
Round 1
York starts off by throwing leg kicks, and he looks good, he then goes in for a clinch, and he looks good, Anglickas reverses the position and York looks bad. York starts to close his guard, and Anglickas takes over.
Round 2
Anglickas rides York out on the ground, and it is obvious that York does not know the ground. Anglickas catches him as he’s getting up, and sinks in the rear naked choke.🚩 Anglickas wins by submission.
The LFA rolled into The Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona for this one.
Main Event
Round 1
Aguilera starts off looking to wrestle, as both guys look even on the feet. Michaud is able to drop Aguilera with a right, then he swarms him. Aguilera is defending himself, he gets put into a mounted Crucifix and the referee stops the fight.🚩 Michaud wins by TKO
This was a very early stoppage. Maybe the ref thinks that the fight is over when someone gets put into a mounted crucifix. I know Aguilera was intelligently defending himself, because he brought his feet up to the cage to push off and reverse the position, its just a shame that the referee wanted to be the star in this fight.
The LFA rolled into Albuquerque, New Mexico and I watched some fights and checked out some of the talent coming through.
Main Event
Round 1
Willis clinches immediately. Park is able to break the clinch, and the two have a feeling out patch. Park has very poor head movement, and for some reason Willis is looking to take him down. Willis looks like he’s fighting scared- a lot of unsure movements and backing off. Park eventually rocks Willis, which sits him down. Park throws an illegal knee to a grounded opponent, the knee glances off Willis’ head, and Park finishes him with punches.🚩 Park wins by TKO
LFA 57 kicked off in Denver Colorado. There were some good fights and quick finishes. LFA will be stepping it up this year and putting on more shows, so, you’ll be seeing a lot of reviews here.
