Top bantamweight prospect Mitchell
McKee secured his fifth professional victory with a unanimous
decision over Sean
McPadden (6-2, 4-2 LFA) in the Legacy
Fighting Alliance 168 main event on Friday at the Mystic Lake
Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
It marks the first time McKee (5-0, 4-0 LFA) has gone the distance,
as he had nailed down each of his first four wins by technical
knockout.
In the co-headliner, Bobby Lee
(14-8, 6-5 LFA) managed to secure a unanimous decision against St.
Charles MMA product Lucas Clay
(9-3, 4-2 LFA) in a catchweight clash at 160 pounds.
Meanwhile, Kegan
Gennrich (7-2, 4-1 LFA) snatched an impressive arm-triangle
submission against Florida native Donald Bush
in the second round of their lightweight showcase, extending his
winning streak to five fights. Bush (7-3, 1-1 LFA) bowed out 4:34
into Round 2.
Elsewhere, Sean
Connor Fallon made quick work of Collin
Huckbody (12-6, 0-2 LFA), as he submitted the Minnesotan with a
first-round guillotine choke. Fallon (17-8, 1-0 LFA) closed it out
3:08 into Round 1.
Further down the card, Vietnamese prospect An Ho (5-0, 5-0
LFA) punched out Kendrick
Latchman (9-10, 1-4 LFA) just 13 seconds into the second round
of their catchweight affair at 126 pounds, while Quang Le (6-0,
5-0 LFA) netted a hard-fought split decision over Sal
Guerriero (6-4, 0-1 LFA) in a three-round bantamweight
tilt.
In preliminary action, Cheyanne
Bowers (2-1, 1-1 LFA) took a unanimous decision from Aline
Pereira (1-2, 1-2 LFA)—sister of former Ultimate Fighting
Championship middleweight titleholder Alex
Pereira—in a three-round battle at 125 pounds; Tyler
Mathison (5-2, 2-1 LFA) wiped out Griffin
Parriott (2-1, 2-1 LFA) with punches 3:01 into the second round
of their featherweight encounter; Bailey
Schoenfelder (4-0, 1-0 LFA) put away Dieye
Papa Badara (1-1, 1-1 LFA) with punches 4:05 into the first
round of their heavyweight scrap; Joey Hart
(3-0, 1-0 LFA) prompted a doctor stoppage against Jeff
Nielsen (2-3, 1-3 LFA), as he was awarded a technical knockout
4:34 into the third round of their welterweight tussle; and
Derek
Benoit (1-1, 0-1 LFA) was disqualified after he landed an
illegal knee strike 4:59 into the second round of his 210-pound
catchweight pairing with Mervin
Miller (4-0, 1-0 LFA).
