Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , Videos It’s become a regular occurrence at LFA shows: Headliners pick up a big win, then use their moment in the spotlight to make it known they want to be in the UFC. That was the case again Friday night when Matthew Frincu (11-3) took out Maycon Mendonca in the first round with relative ease. Mendonca, from Brazil, was a short-notice replacement opponent for Australia’s Frincu, who trains in Arizona

LFA 11 results: Matthew Frincu blasts Maycon Mendonca for first-round KO, calls out UFC

BAD MMA News — Sat, 06 May 2017 04:18:52 +0000

Matthew Frincu had Maycon Mendonca well scouted, and it showed. Both men came out firing to open their welterweight bout tonight, Frincu with punches and Mendonca with kicks. Punches proved better as Frincu timed a hard straight left perfectly that landed flush and dropped Mendonca at the 1:36 mark of Round 1 for the knockout victory. This KO is even better in slo-mo! That's all from #LFA11 but we're back next week for #CES44 ! @LFAfighting @matthewfrincu pic.twitter.com/4o7pStW6mP — AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) May 6, 2017 Frincu-Mendonca was the main event of LFA 11, which took place at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix and aired on AXS TV.

LaRue Burley still puzzled by Bellator departure, but sees new start at LFA 11

BAD MMA News — Fri, 05 May 2017 21:18:17 +0000

LaRue Burley is the type who prefers to look forward into the future of his fighting career, not dwell on the past. That can at times be easier said than done, though, especially when there are unanswered questions, such as the precise nature of why Burley (7-2) wasn’t kept on the Bellator roster despite a 3-0 start with the promotion. He wants to get back to that platform, though, and knows that begins with tonight’s LFA 11 co-headliner with James Nakashima (6-0). “If it was my decision and my choice, I would have probably stayed in Bellator,” Burley told MMAjunkie

LFA 11/AXS TV Fights video: Unbeaten James Nakashima believes finishes coming soon

BAD MMA News — Fri, 05 May 2017 14:29:14 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , Videos James Nakashima is off to a perfect start in his pro MMA career at 6-0. But those six wins all have been 15-minute affairs. Eventually, the former junior college national wrestling champion would like to get some finishes, but he’s willing to let those come organically. Instead, he’s more focused about growing as a fighter and getting better each time out – something he didn’t believe he did this past December with a win over Desmond Hill at RFA 46. “I didn’t grow inside the octagon in that fight,” Nakashima (6-0) told AXS TV Fights’ Ron Kruck ahead of his LFA 11 co-main event against LaRue Burley (7-2).
