LFA brought the chaos back to Lemoore, California, with LFA 213 — a night packed with knockouts, slick submissions, and breakout performances. Despite a turbulent fight week that saw two main events scrapped, lightweight contender Chris Gonzalez rose to the occasion, dominating Jacob Rosales with sharp striking and relentless pressure. After three rounds, Gonzalez earned a clear unanimous decision, moving to 9-3 and putting himself right back in the division’s mix.
While the main event went to the judges, the rest of the card delivered violence in classic LFA fashion. In the co-main, submission ace Isaac Thomson wasted no time, taking Jeremy Henry’s back and locking up a rear-naked choke just 2:34 into Round 1. Earlier, Loai Abushaar needed only 51 seconds to floor Edmund Kwan with a crushing knee, while Noah Bey closed his fight with a thunderous third-round right cross KO on Cedric Manhoef.
The finishes kept coming. Shealor Ladd dominated Pedro Lay Jr., taking his back and unleashing punches for a first-round stoppage. Corvan Allen showed patience in a technical clash with Jose Avalos, earning a unanimous decision, and Gabrielle McComb wowed the crowd with a second-round armbar over Cara Greenwell.
The prelims stayed just as wild. Benny Orozco stunned fans by cinching a standing rear-naked choke on Sczar Charles just over two minutes into Round 1, and Naomie Young added her own first-round submission, locking up an armbar on Alandria Rosales.
Even with late shakeups, LFA 213 delivered exactly what the promotion is known for — highlight finishes, hungry prospects, and a main event that showcased grit and skill from bell to bell.
