Chin Check - 143 (Recap)

No UFC, but it was still a slick weekend for fight fans!

The 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' got things jumping on Friday with their 98th event and it's the second time with the announce team of Ron Kruck, Laura Sanko, and Alan Jouban and I think we can say, they are killing it!!!

We had seven fights on the main card AND five ended in a finish!

Zac Pauga used some heavy ground & pound to get the first round finish and go 2-0, Joshua Silveira put even more respect on the name, with a superb display of jiu jitsu to get a first round rear naked choke. Tabatha Ricci was like, OK, I'll give you a quicker submission finish, how bout belly down armbar And Dakota Bush shows what happens when you miss weight after refusing a catchweight fight....a head kick KO, that's what!!!

Lucas Clay did those genes proud, as he put on dominant ground display in the Co-main!!

And, in the Main Josh Fremd keeps his composure, steps to the side and ends the night in the first round with a thunderous hook!!!

Saturday was time for 'Glory Kickboxing' to do their thing, it was the first event of the year! The card was stacked and the champions definitely did shone bright!

Tiffany Van Soest showed that reach and height aren't a thing, when you have experience, talent & fire in your soul. It was a masterful performance that had her hearing "And Still".

Cédric Doumbé and Murthel Groenhart added another layer to their rivalry, but this night was Doumbe's. The body, head, combo was straight money for 'Le Melleur' as he leaves Rotterdamn, still with the gold.

Alex Pereira got the split decision over Artem Vakhitov (which, was surprising, as Vakhitov seemed to control the last two), so he's now officially the two division Glory Champion.

AND, the night had a four man Heavyweight tournament!

Rico Verhoeven put on a pressure heavy, controlled performance to get the win over Hesdy Gerges. Tarik Khbabez survived a straight war with Levi Rigters, but Rico's leg kicks and hammering attack was too much in the final. 'The King' ends the night with a shiny trophy to go with that heavyweight strap!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 143) @ChinCheckPod

- LFA 98: Fremd vs. Oliveira
