LFA 18 results: Kevin Aguilar retains featherweight title with decision over Justin Rader

BAD MMA News — Sat, 05 Aug 2017 04:33:55 +0000

Justin Rader had two things in mind in his quest to become LFA’s featherweight champion against titleholder Kevin Aguilar : kicks and takedowns. The kicks were mostly there throughout for Rader (6-3). The takedowns, not so much, and Aguilar (13-1) retained his 145-pound title with a unanimous decision victory in the LFA 18 main event – despite some solid moments from the challenger throughout the five-round fight.

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , News A lukewarm LFA 15 headlining affair got an eye-popping finish thanks to newly-crowned heavyweight champ Richard Odoms . After almost an entire five rounds spent mostly in clinches against the fence, Odoms (13-3) managed to grab hold of Jared Vanderaa ’s (5-1) right arm and quickly twist it into a kimura hold that forced him to tap at the 2:45 mark of the final round of the title headliner. The 42-year-old Odoms became LFA’s first heavyweight champion, while Vanderaa, 17 years his junior, suffered the first loss of his career after finishing his first five opponents.
