A new LFA welterweight champion was crowned as the promotion held a four-man, one-night tournament Friday – but the road to get there was winding, long, and unusual. In the end, Carlos Leal (14-3) took home the title at LFA 112 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when he defeated Junior Marques (11-6) via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). While Leal’s road to the top was typical, the opposing side of the bracket was the furthest thing from normal. The tournament began with two quarterfinal fights of three three-minute rounds. The first matchup was a back and forth brawl, in which Gabriel Bonfim (11-0) finished Brenner Alberth (8-1) via punches at 0:38 of Round 3. On the other side of the bracket, Leal only needed 69 seconds to finish Diego Dias (13-4) with a violent knockout punch.
