MASHANTUCKET, CONNECTICUT — The LFA made its first foray into New England with the Heavyweight Championship. In the main event, LFA heavyweight world champion Hugo “Silverback” Cunha and top contender Denzel “Luke Fox” Freeman ended the night by throwing heavy artillery. In the end, it was the active U.S. Marine Corps Captain, Freeman, who overwhelmed the Brazilian champion with constant pressure, volume punching and a smothering ground attack to dethrone the champion via TKO (Ground n’ Pound) at 2:10 of Round 2. In the co-main event, two-time Dana White’s Contender Series veteran Dylan “The Quiet Man” Mantello violently knocked out Brazilian dynamo Ednilson “Cai Cai” Santos with a flurry of punches at 2:36 of Round 2.
