Also, it’s important to note that Costa is picking up quality training at American Top Team.
Flore Hani vs. Tabatha Ricci
Unbeaten upstart Tabatha Ricci will look to extend her win streak against Flore Hani. While Hani appears to have a light record, she has spent a lot of time in the cage. Despite the decision losses, newcomer fights are often dependent on which athlete is more comfortable under the big lights. Overall, this LFA 95 main card bout has some heat behind it but especially because Ricci is undefeated.
Michael Stack vs. Jordan Mapa
Mapa’s aggression is a special thing to watch. On the other hand Stack has a tall order in front of him, but has plenty of knockouts in his own right. However, Mapa’s early onslaught can be overwhelming. Since both athletes are coming off a loss, this promises to be a statement making performance. In essence, Stack has to stop the pressure of Mapa, because if he gets in top position and passes guard — it’s too late.
Victor Altamirano vs. Lloyd McKinney
LFA veteran Altamirano intends to parlay his last decision win into a more decisive victory this time around. Facing the flyweight prospect is Mckinney, who comes in with a wealth of professional experience. In particular his grappling is problematic, shown by his six submissions. Both athletes have slick submissions and chokes and McKinney is undoubtedly dangerous. Soon, fans will find out if Mckinney can handle Altamirano’s elite technique he always brings to the LFA cage.
Alex Pereira vs. Thomas Powell
The Brazillian kickboxer who knocked out superstar Israel Adesanya is making his promotional debut against Powell. Demonstrated by his wealth of kickboxing experience, there is definite pressure for Pereira to perform. However, he’s always excelled under pressure and after his first pro loss, he bounced back well. Facing Pereira is the American, Powell who has shown nasty power in his hands. Don’t blink with this one, because if Pereira delivers, he will be the topic of discussion for many days to come.
Myron Dennis vs. Dylan Potter
Dennis is a diverse athlete who has alternated between kickboxing and MMA bouts. Unfortunately he’s also been alternating wins and losses for much of his career. But things have changed, as the “The Future” Dennis looks to build off his two fight win streak. Conversely, Potter is riding a three fight win streak, and got the job done by strikes in all of them. Since Dennis comes in with a kickboxing pedigree and Potter is known for striking, fans can expect an exciting co main event at LFA 95.
