LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to South Dakota in April with a Championship Headliner at LFA 207. In the main event, the lightweight world title will be on the line. This will be the nineteenth LFA event to take place in the state. RFA hosted four events in the “Mount Rushmore State” before the merger of RFA and Legacy FC that created LFA.文章源自武享吧-https://hula8.net/lfa/75303.html
Lewis (6-0) is one of the most talked about prospects in MMA for good reason. Born and raised in New Jersey, the Rutgers University alum followed in the footsteps of a UFC champion that happened to be from his hometown in the “Garden State”. That would be the legendary Frankie Edgar. The two men are 13 years apart in age, but are both graduates from Toms River High School East. Naturally, Lewis drew inspiration from the UFC Hall of Famer on the mats, and now in the cage, and the results have been undeniable. In junior college, he was a two-time NJCAA All-American at Iowa Central. Then at Rutgers, Lewis became an automatic NCAA Division I national qualifier after notching a 27-7 overall mark and 16-1 dual record in his first season with the program. However, it was what he did after college on the international wrestling scene that really turned heads. In November 2017, Lewis became the first American to win a U23 World medal after winning the gold medal at 70 kg. Presently, the man known as “Savage” is fully immersed in MMA, where he is currently undefeated and dethroned Kegan Gennrich to capture文章源自武享吧-https://hula8.net/lfa/75303.html
Miranda (10-1) is a man that has grown up in the LFA promotion with his sights set on the LFA lightweight world title for the past three years. Like Lewis, Miranda has deep roots in wrestling. The southern Californian was a standout wrestler at Segerstrom High School in Santa Ana, California. In junior college, he competed at the NJCAA level at Santa Ana College (SAC) and placed in the Top 4 at the California CC State Wrestling Championships. That earned him the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Division II level at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK), which is the same wrestling program that produced LFA greats and MMA champions Kamaru Usman and Raufeon Stots. Miranda is now following in their footsteps in MMA with an ultra aggressive fighting style that has earned him 10 career victories (7 in the LFA) and an avid fan base wherever he competes. That raucous “Miranda Mafia” will only be amplified when he fights for the LFA lightweight title in front of the same crowd where he won his LFA debut. “El Machete” earned his well-deserved title shot after going 3-0 and being nominated for the “Male Fighter of the Year” in 2024.文章源自武享吧-https://hula8.net/lfa/75303.html
