LFA 101 "The Undefeated" lived up to its billing as six fighters tasted defeat for the first time during Legacy Fighting Alliance's latest event.
The second-to-last match saw Treston Vines face Jalin Fuller, who unprofessionally was 6.2 pounds over the welterweight limit. Vines (4-1) clipped Fuller (5-0) early but wasn't able to capitalize on the opportunity. However, Fuller delivered a brutal knockout blow later in the round as he landed a huge right hook after a series of kicks. The fight was waved off 2:32 of Round 1.
Mark Climaco came out on top in a battle of unbeaten prospects. The slick ground game of Climaco (5-0) proved to be too much for Pololu Nakanelua during their 129-pound catchweight bout. Climaco bloodied up Nakanelua (4-1) with punches in Round 1 but failed to put away the Hawaiian. Nakanelua refused to give up and kept the fight competitive, but it was Climaco that received a unanimous decision verdict from the judges (30-27, 30-27, and 30-26).
Lightweight prospect Miguel Jacob Elmokdisi Neto faced the toughest test of his career against the experienced A.J. Nichols. Both fighters had their moments, but it was Nichols (7-2-1) that had more gas in the tank as the fight went on. The veteran managed to take Neto (4-1) down in the last round and lock his opponent into a crucifix. Neto was unable to defend himself and the fight was called off at the 2:41 mark as a result.
Strawweight Jaqueline Amorim completely outclassed the debuting Taisha Gandy and submitted her opponent in quick fashion. Amorim needed just 33 seconds to sink in a rear-naked choke that forced Gandy (0-1) to tap. Amorim moves to 3-0 with the victory.
In a flyweight bout, Alden Coria managed to outwrestle Rashaad Robinson in the first round. However, Coria (4-0) ended the fight on the feet as he landed a huge left hand that floored Robinson (3-2). A flurry of punches later and the fight was called off at 1:05 of Round 2.
Middleweights Hunter Colvin and Obinwa Ikebunna opened the main card. Colvin (3-0) showed a grappling advantage early and eventually got the back of Ikebunna (2-1). After sinking in a rear-naked choke, Colvin got the tap at 2:49 of the first round. After the bout, Colvin said he’ll move down to welterweight going forward.
In the lone preliminary bout, Elmar Umarov (3-0) picked up a TKO win over Cody King (1-2) via elbows and punches at 2:20 of Round 1
