Lloyd McKinney hoping to grab the attention of UFC with CFFC 110 championship win

BAD MMA News — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 06:25:33 +0000

After kicking of his 2022 in the boxing ring, flyweight Lloyd McKinney returned to MMA this past April with a win over Nate Williams at 3 River Throwdown 18. Having not gone the distance in a fight since 2017, nearly getting to the fifth round against Williams, McKinney feels like being able to keep the pace going until picking up a fourth submission was a good sign for his skillset. “I got to fight Nate Williams at 3 River Throwdown in a fight I was looking forward to for a long time, and got the win,” McKinney told MMAWeekly.com. “It went past the third round, so it felt good to into the later rounds and still feel like I was able to perform at a high level.” In terms of his skills, McKinney believes he’s made solid steps forward over the course of 2022. “Development-wise I feel like I’ve added some layers to my game,” said McKinney. “I’ve built off the foundation that I have, but I’ve also stepped out of my comfort zone to see how far I can take it and how much I can grow and what my growth potential was.

After dominating Moses Murrietta (8-2) over the course of five rounds, the LFA middleweight champion says he wants a chance to revisit those matchups, but in the UFC cage. Allen downed Murrietta in the main event of Friday’s LFA 61, which aired on AXS TV from Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minn.

Brendan Allen (11-3) couldn’t get a finish in his first LFA middleweight title defense, but he was certainly dominant over the course of a five-round shellacking of Moses Murrietta (8-2). The bout served as the main event of Friday’s LFA 61, which aired on AXS TV from Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minn. Allen controlled the fight from the start, and Murrietta simply had no answer for a dominant wrestling game and non-stop ground-and-pound.
