On Friday, April 3, Legacy Fighting Alliance hosted LFA 230 live from Grand Casino Hotel in Shawneee, Oklahoma. This was an all Brazilian card, excluding an appearance from Venezuela’s Leandro Solano. The most notable thing about this card was, unfortunately, something that happened far away from the cage.
During the main card the broadcaster was suspended and the venue was evacuated, due to a tornado sighting. That kind of thing is taken seriously in Oklahoma, which is smack bang in the middle of ‘Tornado Alley’.
Thankfully things were able to resume later on in the evening without any serious danger to those in attendance (or fighting in the cage).
Charlie Cleveland won the main event this night in Oklahoma. He took out Nyle Bartling, quickly, with a blitz of punches. He’s now 6-1. In the co-main David Wright submitted John Moore in the first round to go to 6-2.
Also on the main card Oklahoma’s own Jake Woodley dominated Shane Sobnosky, earning a 30-24 scorecard from one judge. Elias Rodriguez also won, to stay undefeated at 4-0. He took out Nick Fields in 36 seconds and continues to look like a very bright MMA prospect.
