Legacy FC 46 results: Steven Peterson takes hard-fought decision over Irwin Rivera

BAD MMA News — Sat, 03 Oct 2015 04:25:22 +0000

Legacy FC 46 poster Steven Peterson and Irwin Rivera battled it out in the Legacy FC 46 bantamweight main event, bloodying each other early and continuing to bang away on the feet for much of the bout. In the end, Peterson was a bit too much for his game opponent. The shorter Rivera (4-0) attempted to pick his spots to explode in and crack Peterson (12-4) with looping punches, one of which got the blood flowing from a cut. Peterson had no intention of backing off and put Rivera on his back and used elbows to return the favor, leaving both men with cuts by the end of Round 1.

Rafael Lovato At 32 and with just one pro fight to his credit, Rafael Lovato has no time to waste when it comes to his MMA career. That’s why, after a more than one-year layoff following his first and only MMA contest, Lovato was genuinely worried when his originally scheduled opponent for tonight’s Legacy FC 46 event fell off the card early in fight week. “Things got real scary for me after I trained hard for weeks then have this come up and it be on your mind,” Lovato told MMAjunkie Radio. “All the sacrifice physically, emotionally, financially – I brought a lot of people in for my camp and did a lot of things to feel as special as possible

Sampson (12-1) has already won fights with Bellator and Legacy FC, and with another victory at Legacy FC 46 tonight against Archie Lowe (6-6) – especially a finish – “Wild Thing” believes he should get his opportunity. “II know I’m at that level to be in the UFC; I’ve beat several UFC guys,” Sampson told MMAjunkie Radio.
