Head-kick queen Sabina Mazo wants more experience in LFA before moving on to UFC

BAD MMA News — Fri, 29 Sep 2017 23:25:31 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , News , Radio Highlight , Videos Her blistering recent displays might have gotten you excited for what’s next, but Sabina Mazo says hold off on calls for stage upgrades. The numbers alone show that Mazo boasts an undefeated, but somewhat shy record of four professional MMA bouts. But the “how many” isn’t the key here, as much as the “how.” In her last two outings, both under the LFA banner, Mazo dispatched her opponents in the first round with highlight-reel head-kick knockouts. Another highlight reel KO for @SabinaMazo ! #LFA23 @LFAfighting pic.twitter.com/OZ2TjMUcOs — AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) September 23, 2017 Given there have been fighters who made it to the octagon with less buzz – and the fact that the UFC is currently starting to build its women’s flyweight roster – it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine the “Colombian Queen” making the transition to the big stage soon

LFA 23 highlights: Sabina Mazo strikes again with another nasty head kick KO

BAD MMA News — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 14:23:44 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , News , Videos A pair of titles were on the line Friday night at LFA 23, but it was Sabina Mazo who stole the show again. Mazo (4-0) picked up her second straight first-round head-kick knockout when she took out Linsey Williams (0-2) to continue building her name in the women’s flyweight division. The fight took place at LFA 23, which aired on AXS TV from Bossier City Casino Hotel in Louisiana. In the main event, James Nakashima (8-0) took the welterweight title from Derrick Krantz (20-10) with a split decision in a fight plagued by an eye poke and low blow that Krantz’s corner said contributed to the loss. In the co-feature, women’s flyweight champion Andrea Lee (8-2) defended her belt with a second-round submission of Jamie Thorton (4-4). In addition, check out Peter Stanonik ’s (5-2) second-round knockout of Kendrick Williams (1-1).

LFA champ Andrea Lee returns tonight at LFA 23, but why isn’t she on ‘TUF 26′?

BAD MMA News — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 15:07:56 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Officials say 14 fighters – 14! – turned down a fight tonight with LFA champ Andrea Lee . So why didn’t she just take a slot on “The Ultimate Fighter 26”? Lee (7-2), the inaugural and reigning LFA women’s flyweight champion, co-headlines tonight’s LFA 23 event against challenger Jamie Morton (4-3), which airs on AXS TV from Bossier City Hotel Casino & Hotel in Bossier, La. Morton has lost two straight – she was on the receiving end of a brutal Sabina Mazo head-kick KO earlier this year – but she was willing to fight Lee when so many others apparently weren’t. Related LFA 9 video highlights: Check out the head-kick KO that led to this photo So why didn’t Lee take a spot on the cast of “ TUF 26 ,” the latest installment of the UFC’s long-running reality series – one that crowns the UFC’s first 125-pound female champion and would guarantee the 28-year-old “KGB” would have no trouble securing matchups? “Well, I chose not to do it,” she told AXS TV’s Phoenix Carnevale
