PRIOR LAKE, Minnesota — LFA celebrated a decade of MMA in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” after the promotion brought its first event to the state in 2014. LFA 193 was the host of this milestone in front of a sell-out crowd that packed the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota. In the main event, Cheyanne “The Boss” Bowers became just the second Minnesota native to capture LFA gold by submitting top undefeated prospect Veronika Borisova in the first round. The win came via armbar and makes Bowers the LFA interim women’s flyweight champion. In the co-main event, top undefeated prospect “Merciless” Mitch McKee lived up to his nickname with a beautiful left hook followed by ground strikes to secure the TKO victory just 39-seconds into Round 1. The other fight results can be found below:
