Thomas
Petersen is the new
Legacy Fighting Alliance heavyweight champion after defeating
Vernon
Lewis in the LFA
113 main event.
Petersen made short work of the veteran and proved he’s a prospect
to watch. A big left hand floored Lewis (8-5) and a swarm of
punches ended the bout. Petersen improves to 5-0 with the victory
and shared the news that he’s becoming a father next rather than
calling out any future opponents.
The co-main event saw bantamweight Ricky Camp
and Greg
Fischer test their skills. The bout went three hard-fought
rounds with Camp (12-4) controlling most of the action on the feet
while Fischer (10-3) attempted to wrestle. The judges awarded the
fight to Camp via split decision with scores of 28-29, 30-27,
29-28.
Welterweights Chris
Brown and Glaucio
Eliziario had the first competitive bout of the night. Brown
(7-3) was able to land some solid kicks in Round 1, but it was
Eliziaro (9-7) that landed the better punches. However, “Breezy the
Future” took the Brazilian down in the second frame and was able to
tire his opponent. Brown finished the round by slamming Eliziario,
which was enough to end the fight
after Eliziario injured his shoulder and was unable to
continue.
In a flyweight bout, Alden Coria (5-0) used his grappling to
control Donnie Ballou. Coria dominated the first round and
latched in a guillotine choke late that got the tap. Ballou
(7-5) officially tapped at the 3:35 mark.
Giovanna
Canuto made quick work of fellow strawweight Kathy
Solorzano. After getting a takedown, Canuto (2-0) chained
together several submissions until
a heel hook got the tap after 2:10 had elapsed. Solorzano is
now 0-2 professionally.
The LFA 113 main card kicked off with Cezly
Collard notching an impressive submission win over Patrick
Ferguson. The brother of Clay
Collard improved to 2-0 after
sinking in a triangle choke after just 44 seconds. Ferguson
falls to 1-2 with the defeat and has now lost two straight.
