LFA returns to Missouri on Memorial Day weekend next month with a heavyweight headliner in Branson.
In the LFA 67 main event, Daniel James (8-3-1) takes on Patrick Martin (7-4) at Branson Convention Center, the promotion recently announced. The main card airs live on AXS TV. In addition, Dakota Bush (6-1) meets Jaleel Willis (9-2) in a lightweight co-main event.
“Missouri has some of the best fight fans in the country,” LFA CEO Ed Soares stated. “Daniel James put the division on notice with a big knockout win at LFA 50. Patrick Martin made a similar statement with a quick knockout win at LFA 60. Both men have the ability to end a fight with one punch. This will be a memorable main event at LFA 67.”
James, a former celebrity bodyguard from Chicago, made his promotional debut this past September. He stopped former University of Wisconsin wrestler Calyn Hull early in the second round with a TKO. James made his pro debut at Bellator 112 in 2014 and has seven of his eight career wins by stoppage.
Martin, from Iowa, made his promotional debut in February and picked up a 31-second TKO of Byron Stevens at LFA 60. At 6-foot-6, he’ll actually have a slight height advantage against the 6-5 James. A former college basketball player, Martin has six of his seven pro wins by stoppage.
The LFA 67 lineup currently includes:
- Daniel James vs. Patrick Martin
- Dakota Bush vs. Jaleel Willis
- Teejay Britton vs. Solo Hatley Jr.
- Mike Breeden vs. Chel-Erwin Davis
- Garrett Armfield vs. Chris Ocon
