Spike
Carlyle will return to the
Legacy Fighting Alliance this Friday in his first fight since
being released by the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Carlyle (9-3) will headline
LFA 103 against Batsumberel
Dagvadorj. The event caps off a busy March for the LFA, which
saw the promotion put on three shows. The eight-fight card is now
official after the weigh-ins took place, with all fighters except
for Cynthia
Arceo making weight.
After impressing in his UFC debut with a TKO victory over Aalon Cruz,
Carlyle’s limitations were shown after he dropped decisions to
Billy
Quarantillo and Bill Algeo.
“Alpha Ginger” will look to rebound impressively here by showing
off an improved skillset in his first fight of 2021. Carlyle had no
issue making weight and officially weighed 155.6 pounds.
Also coming off a defeat is Dagvadorj (7-1), who suffered the first
loss of his career in his attempt to win the LFA welterweight
title. While he didn’t walk away with gold, “The Mongolian Falcon”
put on a “Fight of the Year” contender against Maycon
Mendonca that left fans impressed. His most noteworthy victory
so far is a win over the veteran James Terry.
Dagvadorj stepped on the scale weighing 156 pounds.
The LFA 103 main card will air live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 9
p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The two-fight preliminary portion will air on
LFA’s Facebook page starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
