Dern (3-0) meets Mandy Polk (3-3) in a 125-pound contest. Ahead of that matchup, and courtesy of AXS TV Fights, check out Dern’s most recent outing, a March decision win over Katherine Roy , who was able to take the catchweight fight the distance but ultimately lost via unanimous decision at LFA 6

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , Videos Former University of Alabama linebacker Eryk Anders is well-versed at pounding quarterbacks and running backs into the turf. Lately, he’s been pounding MMA opponents into the canvas. Anders (5-0) will make his LFA debut tonight when he meets veteran Jon Kirk (19-13) in a middleweight bout at LFA 6, which takes place at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio, Texas, with a main card live on AXS TV. It’s a home fight for Anders, who moved on to MMA in 2012 as an amateur, and as a pro in 2015 after his football career was over and he needed something to stoke the competitive fires. After his final season at Alabama in 2009, in which he had 66 total tackles and six sacks, he had shots in the NFL, CFL and Arena Football League, but nothing panned out the way he wanted.

Want to be a better MMA fighter? LFA 6 headliner Ray Rodriguez says try fencing

BAD MMA News — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 16:31:04 +0000

LFA featherweight Ray Rodriguez is a senior in college studying kinesiology. So he knows a lot about movement. Now that he’s got most of his degree requirements out of the way, he’s moving a lot while he checks off his remaining classes. When he spoke to MMAjunkie Radio, he was on his way to a fencing class. “It works,” said Rodriguez (11-4), who tonight meets Rivaldo Junior (15-6-2) in the headliner of LFA 6 at Cowboy Dancehall in San Antonio, Texas. “It’s basically like a jab.

Ahead of LFA 6 main event vs. Rodriguez, Rivaldo Junior focused on getting back on track

BAD MMA News — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 14:23:38 +0000

The MMA life hasn’t been an easy road for Rivaldo Junior the past four and a half years or so. After getting out to a 13-2-1 start in his pro career, the Brazilian thought things were looking bright. But at the same time, he was trying to balance going to college, holding down a job, and advancing his fight career. Something had to get the short end of the stick, and it wound up being his MMA record. Since September 2012, he has gone just 2-4-1, but at least he knows what was holding him back – and is hopeful he has put the worst of the rocky road behind him
