LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will finish a busy month of February with a doubleheader in the Upper Midwest as LFA travels to Iowa and Minnesota on back-to-back Fridays.
LFA will make its first foray into the “Hawkeye State” of Iowa with LFA 60. The promotion will be heading to the Des Moines metro area for the first time after the merger of RFA and Legacy FC. RFA traveled to Iowa once before the merger at RFA 10 in October 2013. The main event of LFA 60 will be announced soon. LFA 60 takes place Friday, February 15th at the 7 Flags Event Center in Clive, Iowa. The main card will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
LFA will then head north the following week to the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for LFA 61. The main event of LFA 61 will bring a middleweight world title fight to Minnesota as LFA middleweight champion Brendan “All In” Allen defends his title for the first time against knockout artist and top contender Moses “Motown” Murrietta. LFA 61 – Allen vs. Murrietta takes place Friday, February 22nd at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The main card will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
“I am excited to bring LFA to the Upper Midwest on back-to-back Fridays in February,” stated Soares. “Iowa and Minnesota have a long history in MMA and wrestling so it has one of the most educated and passionate fan bases in the country. We came to Iowa as RFA in October 2013 and have had a long history of exciting events in Minnesota. We look forward to developing the next generation of stars in this talent-rich region in February at LFA 60 and LFA 61.”

In 2017, RFA and Legacy FC merged to form LFA, the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts. The combined forces of LFA launched the careers of over 150 athletes that have reached the pinnacle of MMA by competing in the UFC. In May 2018, the promotion joined the London Trust Media Holdings group of companies.
LFA 60 will be the first LFA event to take place in the state of Iowa. RFA visited the “Hawkeye State” once before the merger. LFA 60 will take place in the city of Clive, which is a suburb of the state capital Des Moines. The entire main card of LFA 60 will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
LFA 61 will be the tenth LFA event to take place in the state of Minnesota. RFA and Legacy FC hosted a combined nine events in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” before the merger. Six of those events took place under the RFA banner inside the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. The entire main card of LFA 61 will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
