“I am excited to announce that LFA will be coming to Kansas at LFA 76,” LFA CEO Ed Soares stated. “Trey Ogden has looked amazing inside the LFA octagon. He returns after a third dominant performance for us in February. He will face Nick Browne, who is a talented BJJ black belt from Pennsylvania. This will be an exciting main event for our first visit to the Wichita area.”
Ogden, who trains with UFC fighter James Krause in Kansas City, has won back-to-back fights and three of his past four.

In June 2018, he submitted Jeffrey Pelton at Pinnacle FC 17 to get bcak on track after a decision loss to John Gunther in 2016, which was the first setback of his career.
