Set to unfold at the the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota on Friday, April 15, 2022 was LFA 129, featuring a heavyweight title fight atop the marquee.
The LFA heavyweight title was being contested between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Thomas Petersen — who had won the belt in 2021. That late-July TKO of Vernon Lewis had improved Petersen’s record to 5-0, with all five of his wins coming by KO/TKO, and all five ending within a round.
Cortes-Acosta boasted an identical 5-0 record, but the 30-year old from the Dominican Republic had both left the first round, and gone the distance in the past. He also had ample experience in boxing, and a win over PFL alum Mo DeReese.
Full results from LFA 129, with the main card streaming live on UFC Fight Pass, can be found below. The broadcast kicks off at 9PM ET.
