LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA President Sven Bean announced today that the LFA has entered into two event production agreements in June of 2024.
“The LFA team will return and produce events in two very popular markets in June,” said Bean, who is responsible for venue booking and event scheduling for the LFA.
“We will kick things off with a trip to Indiana and a return visit to The Venue inside The Horseshoe Hammond Casino on Friday June 7th,” stated Bean.
“This will mark our third LFA event at The Horseshoe Hammond Casino. The Venue is such a great place to produce a show. The layout makes for a big show feel but yet still can be an intimate experience for the fans. The properties entertainment team are world class, and make for a smooth production process. I’m excited to bring the LFA brand back to the Chicagoland MMA fans,” continued Bean.
Director of Entertainment Operations Rick Archie added:
“Horseshoe Casino Hammond is excited to bring back LFA MMA here this June in The Venue. Their events always bring out record setting crowds and their fights are world class. Working with LFA’s professional staff always makes for a successful event! We are all looking forward to another action packed show.”
Tickets for LFA 185 will go on sale Friday May 3rd, at 10:00 AM CST through Ticketmaster.com.
LFA 185 will be broadcast live at 6PM PST/9PM EST on UFC FIGHT PASS®.
“Then just two weeks later, the LFA returns to my hometown of Denver, Colorado and the Magness Arena for a special Saturday night event,” continued Bean.
“I can’t explain how excited I am about this show. It will be our first time back to Denver with the LFA in two years. But, it will also be the first Saturday night LFA event in this market. It will be great to again work with the DU events team, as they are so helpful and accommodating. The venue is very well known to Denver residents as hundreds of thousands commuters pass the iconic gold tipped Williams Tower daily. The arena has a such a storied history in Denver, and has played host to so many major events over the years. I am really looking forward to adding another LFA event to that list!”
Selina Kirwan, Director of Ritchie Center Events, added:
“We’re excited to welcome LFA back to Magness Arena this summer. The LFA staff and fan base are always a pleasure to work with and serve. We enjoyed hosting LFA in 2022 and look forward to another exciting night for the fans here at Magness Arena in June.”
Tickets for LFA 186 will go on sale Wednesday May 1st, at 10:00 AM MST through DenverPioneers.com.
