LFA CEO EdSoaresPro announced today that the promotion returns to #SantaCruz, #California on Friday, October 9th, with LFA 243, live from KaiserPermanenteArena. LFA 243 will be headlined by a light-heavyweight bout as Nick Maximov faces Wildemar Santos.

Nick Maximov (14-2) 🇺🇸, an American light heavyweight who trains out of Northern California, enters the fight as a UFC veteran, bringing a wealth of high-level experience into the matchup. 
 
Standing across the cage will be Wildemar Santos (14-5) 🇧🇷, a Brazilian standout and regional champion, who enters the bout looking to add another notable win to his résumé against a proven, high-level opponent.

“This is a great measuring-stick fight between two proven light heavyweights,” stated Soares. “Wildemar Santos brings a championship pedigree from Brazil, while Nick Maximov, a Northern California-based UFC veteran, gives our fans in Santa Cruz a real crossroads matchup between international talent right in their backyard.”
