LFA 48 had two kinds of homecomings Friday at Viaero Center in Kearney, Neb., and the headliner didn’t disappoint.
It was the promotion’s debut in the city where RFA started in December 2011. RFA later merged with Legacy FC to form the LFA. And in the main event, Raufeon Stots had his own homecoming.
Stots wrestled at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where he was an NCAA Division-II champion. And he didn’t disappoint his home-friendly fans. Stots (10-1) took out Ryan Lilley (9-4) with a third-round TKO in their bantamweight fight to close the night.
In the co-feature, Brandon Royval (8-3) had a “Fight of the Night”-caliber decision win over Charles Johnson (7-2) in their flyweight battle.
