Legacy Fighting Alliance crowned a new interim flyweight
champion in the LFA
110 main event that pitted Yuma
Horiuchi against Charles
Johnson.
The action was fast-paced on the feet, with both fighters having
success. Referee Kevin Nix inserted himself into the bout by
deducting a point from Horiuchi for a low blow during Round 2.
While Horiuchi (8-4) landed damaging leg kicks, Johnson (9-2) was
able to find success with his hands. Johnson would come on strong
in the championship rounds in order to eke out a split-decision
victory with scores of 49-45, 46-48 and 48-46.
The co-main event was a solid middleweight bout between undefeated
prospect Chibwikem
Onyenegecha going up against an experienced veteran in Renato
Valente Alves. While not the most dramatic contest, Alves (8-4)
was generally able to outwork Onyenegecha (7-1) on the feet with
sharper strikes and halted the prospect’s hopes. Alves capped off
the performance by flooring Onyenegecha late in Round 3. After 15
minutes of action, Alves was awarded the victory via split decision
(30-27, 28-29 and 30-26).
The night’s second flyweight bout saw undefeated prospect Christian
Natividad go up against Luis
Aguirre. The striking of Natividad (4-0) looked as sharp as
ever as he pieced up Aguirre (2-3) and dropped his opponent.
However, Aguirre was game the entire bout and wasn’t afraid to come
forward while throwing his own offense. Ultimately, “Da Poi Pounda”
was too much as he was awarded a unanimous decision victory with
scores of 29-27, 29-27 and 29-26.
Jaqueline
Amorim made quick work of fellow strawweight Megan Owen.
Amorim (4-0) came out firing and dropped Owen (1-1) with a stiff
right hand. After a few strikes on the ground,
the fight was rightfully stopped after just 10 seconds.
Flyweights Arpan
Gurung and Oscar
Herrera kicked off the night’s action. Both fighters were
making their pro debuts, but it was “Moisturizer” that walked away
with the victory. Herrera (1-0)
was able to lock in a tight armbar at 3:17 of Round 2. Gurung
drops to 0-1 with the loss.
