Weekend WrapUp | [Results] LFA 97 | & New Matchup Announcements

Happy Monday Colorado MMA Fans! It was a successful weekend past
for Colorado MMA fighters and now it’s time to get back on the
grind, but worry not, because you only have to wait two more days
until another UFC Fight Card! But before we start looking towards
the next event, let’s take a moment to review this past weekend’s
incredible fight action in your Colorado MMA News, Weekend
WrapUp.


LFA 97 went down this past Friday night and two Colorado fighters
were featured on the card.


Elevation Fight Team’s Claire “Grizzly” Guthrie got the night
started off right with a beautiful three-round performance that
saw her take home a unanimous decision victory. Guthrie has
continued to improve her striking and movement from fight to
fight and her hard work paid off on Friday night as she improved
to 2-1 as a pro.


Not to be outdone, Michael Stack of Trials MMA got back to his
winning ways with a dominant, 2nd rnd TKO win over Jordan Mapa to
move to 5-1 as a pro.


Congratulations to both fighters on their impressive, victorious
performances.


And in new matchup announcements…


Austin “Osmosis” Jones (8-5) of Factory X will step up on just
two weeks notice to face Tyler Ray (6-2) in a welterweight
contest at Extreme MMA in West Palm Beach Florida on January
30th.


Additionally, after winning a UFC contract on the Dana White
Contender Series back in September, Collin Anglin (8-1) of
Factory X will make his big-show debut on short notice, February
6th at UFC Fight Night where he will take on Seungwoo Choi (8-3)
in a featherweight contest.


Anglin will be joining his Factory X teammate, Devonte Smith
(10-2) on the card as Smith makes his much anticipated return
from an achilles tendon injury and surgery. Smith will face Alex
Da Silva (21-3) in lightweight matchup.


In the co-main event of the evening, Cory Sandhagen (13-2) of
Elevation Fight Team will look to stake his claim as number one
contender in the bantamweight division when he takes on former
UFC champion, Frankie Edgar at 135 lbs.


And headlining the event will be a heavyweight clash between
Elevation Fight Team’s Alistair Overeem (47-18) and Alexander
Volkov (32-8). You will be able to stream the fights live on
ESPN+.
