LFA 39 results: Yeah, arms aren’t supposed to bend and flap like that

A new champion was crowned at Friday’s LFS 39 event, but this dislocated, flappy wing is likely what viewers will remember most. After all, you’re unlikely to forget this scene even if you wanted to. In a flyweight bout at the AXS TV-televised event, which took place at Dodson Arena in Vail, Colo., Brandon Royval (7-3) picked up a TKO win after just 40 seconds when Jerome Rivera (7-2) clearly couldn’t continue because of his mangled arm. Rivera elbow appeared to dislocate/break his elbow while trying to brace himself against the cage. Rivera tried to retreat, but his arm was left dangling beside him during the gruesome scene. After Rivera ate a subsequent head kick, the bout was merciful waved off (via Twitter ): Well this just happened at #LFA39 … @LFAfighting @brandonroyval pic.twitter.com/7QgERTvczT — AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) May 5, 2018 In the main event, Ian Heinisch (10-1) knocked out Gabriel Checco (10-3) to claim the vacant middleweight title.

Following a pair of controversial defeats, former Invicta FC bantamweight champion Lauren Murphy picked up her first official UFC victory on Feb. 21 at UFC Fight Night 83 in Pittsburgh. Murphy stopped short-notice replacement opponent Kelly Faszholz late in the third round of an entertaining back-and-forth bout. Murphy (9-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) stood and traded power punches with her opponent in the opening round, but it was Faszholz (3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) who got the better of the early striking exchanges. She backed Murphy up with a flurry and countered Murphy’s kicks with a nice one-two
