COMMERCE, California — LFA capped a busy and exciting 2024 schedule that saw the promotion host 25 events across two continents. In the year-end event, southern California’s own Richie “El Machete” Miranda and top Chilean prospect Hugo “La Maquina” Oyarzún squared off in the main event of LFA 198. The local favorite used a well-rounded attack to secure takedowns, dominant grappling positions, and timely striking to secure the convincing win against his South American adversary Oyarzún via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27). In the co-main event, the “BJJ Lady GOAT” Bia Mesquita continued her seamless transition to MMA.
