Two
hometown Middleweight fighters will headline Legacy Fighting Championship 59,
Sept. 16th at the Arena Theater in Houston Texas. 11-7 Isaac
Villanueva will face fellow Houstonian, 7-0 Trevin Giles in the Main Event.
Isaac
Villanueva is riding a three fight win streak, including his last effort at LFC
55 earning a Unanimous Decision win over Brandon Farrar. The Decision was only
the second time “Hurricane Ike” has let a bout slip to the judges’ decision, in
18 fights. He has finished nine of his eleven wins by KO/TKO. This past
February at Bellator 149, Villanueva allowed the clock only 42 ticks before
stopping Richard Knepp’s night by TKO and a month earlier (1/15/16) he thrilled
the crowd at Fury Fighting 9 with an opening round KO of Husan Mohamed at 1:08.
Undefeated,
Trevin Giles has stopped all seven of his opponents to date (3 KO/TKO, 4 Subs).
This is Giles fourth fight with LFC, in March he sub’d Brendan Allen by rear-naked-choke (1:47, 2nd
round) at LFC52. In Giles most recent bout, Josh Clark fell to the same fate in
the 2nd round (1:10) in the Main Event at RFA 41 (7/29/16). With
fighters that own such impressive finishing skills, these two local fighters should
draw the attention from MMA fans everywhere.
In the
Lightweight Division, Justin Reiswerg has finished eight of his nine career
wins, six by Submission. “The Wolverine” last appeared under the Legacy banner
at LFC50 (1/22/16), when it took him only 1:43 (1st round) to sink
in a rear-naked-choke on Jonathan
Harris. The Twenty-eight year old has
had a tough go as of late, 1-3 in his last four, but he’s always a threat with
his proven submission game. He faces Jason Langellier.
Langellier
comes in with a perfect 4-0 record, 3 KO/TKO and 1 Sub. “Slim Reaper” is
fighting in his fourth LFC event, all previous have been halted due to
Langellier’s strikes. Most recently a first round knee stopped Jeremiah Jones
(1:19) at LFC55. “Slim Reaper’s” only pro fight outside Legacy also accounts
for his sole submission win, a first round anaconda
choke earned him the victory at Bellator 149.
Baton Rouge
Bantamweight, Chris Pham has finished each of his four wins (3 subs, 1 KO).
Always dangerous, Pham has struggled lately, winning only one in his last five
attempts, but that win, a :28 KO of Aaron Williams at Cage Rage 22.
Pham
faces Houston’s Domingo Pilarte. “Anointed” is on a two fight win streak. Last
time out (10/09/15) the Twenty-six year old collected one of his three
submission wins with a first round arm
bar (2:04) of Javier Obregon at Fury Fighting 8.
Staying
in the Bantamweight Division, winner of his last four, Houston’s Colin Wright
looks to improve his 4-2 record. At Fury Fighting 10 (4/8/16) Wright earned his
third submission win with a first round Triangle
choke of Edward Longoria (2:43). Wright takes on Twenty-two year old,
Adrian Yanez. Yanez won a Unanimous Decision over Ryan Hollis at Bellator 149
for his first career decision win. Yanez also has two wins by TKO and one sub.
Also scheduled for the Main Card: 135lbs. 3-0 Randy Mc
Cullough takes on 4-3 Mike Trinh, 205lbs. 10-10 Chad Cook Vs 3-1 Danny Orr. To
