#LFA222 🏆🔥

LFA CEO EdSoaresPro announced today that the promotion will return to the Northeast on Friday, November 14th, for another action-packed night of fights at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in #Mashantucket #Connecticut 

#LFA222 will be headlined by a bantamweight world title bout featuring Brazilian champion Vinicius Pires 🇧🇷 defending his title against Kazakhstan’s Artem Belakh 🇰🇿
The event marks the LFA’s second visit to Foxwoods, following the successful #LFA204 event earlier this year. 

#LFA222: Pires vs. Belakh, presented by MonsterEnergy, will be available worldwide on UFCFIGHTPASS® at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. 

🎟️ Tickets for the event are available now at Ticketmaster.com 🔗 Link in bio

“We’re excited to return to Foxwoods after the incredible success of our last event there,” stated Soares. “Vinicius Pires has proven himself as one of the most dangerous bantamweights in the sport, and Artem Belakh is a top international challenger hungry to make a statement. This matchup represents everything the LFA stands for — world-class prospects competing at the highest level.”

Vinicius Pires (11-1) captured the LFA bantamweight world title in March in Brazil, when he submitted an Argentinian opponent to claim the vacant belt. A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt known for his finishing instincts, Pires combines technical precision with constant forward pressure, making him one of the most dangerous champions on the LFA roster. Fighting out of Brazil, he now looks to defend his title for the first time on U.S. soil and showcase his world-class submission game to a global audience.

Artem Belakh (10-2) is a highly skilled prospect from Kazakhstan making his long-awaited #LFADebut. Known for his balanced skill set and relentless pace, Belakh mixes sharp boxing combinations with strong grappling fundamentals and high fight IQ. The Kazakh standout holds a 90% finish rate in his MMA wins and now looks to make an immediate impact by capturing the LFA bantamweight world title in his promotional debut at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
