(BREAKING: Arnold Jimenez pulled from main event slot due to illness; matchup vs Rafael De Nascimento has been scratched)
From an electric spinning elbow knockout from Erick Visconde in the main event, to Theo Haig’s first-round rear naked choke that punched his stamp to the Contender Series later this year, LFA 199 at Tachi Palace produced plenty of headlines to kick off the year.
Formerly the host of the early WEC cards and Tachi Palace Fights, the Lemoore-based resort looks to now become a homestay for the right-hand feeder organization to the UFC.
After Chris Mecate dropped out of his matchup this past Friday against Erick Visconde due to an emergency surgery, bantamweights Arnold Jimenez and Rafael Do Nascimento will now look to be the main event of the promotion’s return to Tachi Palace.
