Igor Siqueria expected to headline LFA 180 instead he’s the interim LFA Flyweight champion after LFA 181.Legacy Fighting Alliance returned to the Land of 10,000 Lakes for LFA 181. A 13-fight card from the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota will see a battle for an interim LFA Flyweight title.
Fate or coincidence, it can be debated but when opportunity is presented it’s you who can make the most of it. Igor Siqueria was scheduled to face Kevin Fernandez in Kentucky in the LFA 180 main event until a late withdrawal from Ferandez. The Brazilian quickly changed focuses heading to Minnesota for a title fight with Eimar Hernandez who was on his third opponent.
Adversity in the form of a Hernandez straight right hand sat Siqueria down in the first thirty seconds. Popping right back to his feet a “The Golden Boy” earned Hernandez respect with his own right hand. Clearing his head Siqueria returned the straight right hand, cleaning Hernandez’s clock and collecting the dust with a couple follow up ground strikes.
In the co-main event, the stock of Bantamweight prospect Quang “Bang” Le continued to rise after a second consecutive knockout win. Vietnam’s Quang Le & Myanmar’s Tial Thang exchanged big leather in the pocket. Le’s chin passed an early test and returned two quizzes to Thang that he managed. Le’s then saw the opening for the final exam a left hook that straighten Thang’s leg up as he fell to the mat as the ref dives in.
