Aaron
Jeffery made a case for a
Legacy Fighting Alliance middleweight title shot with the
biggest victory of his career at LFA
93.
Despite dropping the first round on two of the three judges’
scorecards, Jeffery proved he had no quit in him against Andre
Petroski. Late in Round 2, Jeffery (9-2) stunned Petroski (5-1)
with a big elbow that rocked him and then a series of knees to the
head made the wrestler fall to the floor. Referee Marcio Laselva
waved the fight off after a few punches at 4:19 of Round 2.
In the co-main event, Sam Hughes
took on Danielle
Hindley at a 120-pound catchweight. “Sampage” immediately
established an advantage on the feet and ended the round with a
bang by locking in a guillotine choke that forced Hindley (4-2)
unconscious. The fight was declared over after the bell rang,
giving Hughes (5-1) a technical submission win at an official time
of 5:00.
Josh
Fremd put a beating on Antonio
Jones, who missed the middleweight limit by seven pounds. Fremd
(6-1) knocked down Jones (7-4) with a big right hand that caused
him to fall to the floor and then hit him once more to finish the
fight at 3:18 of Round 1. This marks the fourth straight loss for
Jones after starting his pro mixed martial arts career with seven
victories.
In featherweight action, Elijah
Johns faced off against Luke
Faultersack. Johns (7-1) was a step ahead of Faultersack (6-4)
throughout and put on a dominant display over 15 minutes while
landing plenty of damaging strikes. The judges awarded Johns scores
of 30-27, 30-27, and 30-26.
Justin
Wetzell and Teshay
Gouthro had a back-and-forth battle at a 140-pound catchweight.
The grappling of Wetzell (6-1) wound up being the difference maker
as he repeatedly took down and controlled Gouthro (3-1) in the
final frame. This late effort was enough for Wetzell to take a
unanimous decision with 29-28 scores across the board.
Flyweights Carlos
Hernandez and Trevor
Wells put on a fun fight that went the distance. Both men had
their moments but it was Hernandez (5-1) that regularly won
exchanges and was able to out-grapple Wells (3-2) as well. After 15
minutes of action, judges awarded scores of 30-27, 29-28, and 30-27
in the favor of Hernandez
Joshua
DaSilveira cruised to a submission win over Fernando
Alvarado to open the main card. After dominating the first two
rounds, DaSilveira (3-0) locked in an arm triangle in the third.
Alvarado (1-2) was forced to tap out at the 3:35 mark.
In preliminary action, Christian Rodriguez (4-0) submitted John
Pham (2-1) with a rear-naked choke at 1:47 of the second frame.
