LFA 149: Bunes vs. Horiuchi
Gila River Resorts & Casinos - Wild Horse Pass, Chandler, AZ
UFC Fight Pass - 10 PM ET



Welcome to 2023. In 2022, we didn’t get a meaningful event until the second week of the year. The first week of the year doesn’t have much, quantity-wise, but there are Live Fights and one of them is Consequential.

Felipe Bunes (12-6) vs. Yuma Horiuchi (10-5) (125 Title)

Only one of the previous nine LFA Flyweight champions has lost their title in a fight, when Brandon Moreno defeated Maikel Pérez for this title at LFA 69 in 2019. The other eight all vacated the title when they signed with the UFC. The latest, Carlos Mota, won it in August and signed with the UFC in October. The title essentially represents a UFC contract.

Felipe “Felipinho” Bunes is a 33-year-old Pitbull Brothers fighter working to rebuild his career after he started 10-2 and then went to ACA where he proceeded to lose 3 straight. He finished in ACA with a win, but then immediately came into the main event of LFA 124 in February with a submission loss to Jussier Formiga. He rebounded with a split decision victory over Wascar Cruz in July, and was scheduled to fight Yuma Horiuchi in October but the fight was scrapped and rescheduled for this show, as the main event for the LFA Flyweight Title. Bunes was granted his second-degree black belt from the Pitbull Brothers in December.

“Ichiban” Yuma Horiuchi is fighting for the LFA title for a second time. In July 2021, he lost a split decision in the main event of LFA 110 against Charles Johnson, in a fight that was for the interim title, which got promoted to the main title, which got Johnson into the UFC after he defended his title twice. Horiuchi got his start in DEEP, and his first fight in the US was being brought into Gladiator Challenge to defeat Miguelito “Darkness” Marti (1-28 at the time, 2-41 currently, lost to Henry Cejudo in 2013). Horiuchi is 3-2 in LFA and also lost to Topnoi Kiwram in Singapore in the first round of the flyweight Road to UFC tournament in June. He earned this shot, though with 2 straight wins in LFA, over 6-0 Mark Climaco in November 2021 via TKO then over 23-7 Juan Puerta in October via submission.

Ben Tynan (3-0) vs. Henrique Silva (5-2) (265)



When you’ve got the look and the charisma, you get the push. “Vanilla Thunder” Ben Tynan is 3-0 as a pro, 8-0 as an amateur, and has finished every fight. He has two round 1 finishes in LFA. And he’s 6’3” and fights with one of the grossest (complimentary) mustaches you’ve ever seen. So they are building him as the next “strap a rocket to him” heavyweight. Tynan fights out of Elevation Fight Team and made it to the NCAA Championship Qualifier at 285 pounds in 2017, but did not qualify.

Tynan’s latest victim on the hype train is 37-year-old Henrique “Montanha” Silva, whose last two fights were a submission loss in August 2019 and a TKO loss in September 2016. The two were slated to meet in November, but the bout got moved to this show. Silva is also 6’3”, so they were clearly looking for a similarly big guy to make a nice highlight for Tynan. Godspeed, Montanha.

The LFA Heavyweight title is currently vacant as “Salsa Boy” Waldo Cortes-Acosta moved up to the UFC and is winning there. Who knows how many more wins Vanilla Thunder needs before they give him a chance at the belt.

Rest of Card
Marcus McGhee (5-1) vs. Luciano Ramos (8-7) (135)
An Ho (2-0) vs. Edwin De Los Santos (2-1) (125)
Eric McConico (5-2-1) vs. Billy Elekana (4-1) (185)
Eric Fimbres (1-0) vs. Tony Charles (2-1) (185)
Cedric Katambwa (2-0) vs. Adam Garcia (1-0) (155)

Tape Delay Kickboxing Bonus: Best of 2022

We’re still two weeks out from the return of kickboxing in 2023, so I wanted to give you something to fill the time. I missed a pretty big chunk of the sport in the middle of the year, so I can’t exactly claim to be an authority that declares the BEST of the year, but I present to you 11 fights I really enjoyed. Fights that I think are worth going out of your way to see. I thought more promotions would have year-in-review compilations done by now, but all that’s out there is videos produced by K-1.

As supplemental material for LobMob's great preview, here is some writing about why Superbon vs. Allazov is A Big Deal:

BeyondKick.com currently has Superbon at #1 and Allazov at #2 on their Pound-for-Pound kickboxing rankings. Not just in their weight class, but out of all kickboxers. So this is legitimately the biggest kickboxing match you can make now that Tenshin vs. Takeru has resulted in both of them retiring from kickboxing.

Here's a staff preview of the fight, which I'll paste in this box too:

BeyondKick posted:

Only two weeks into the new year, we already got the most important fight of 2023 on our hands.

Superbon Singha Mawynn will defend his ONE Featherweight Kickboxing title against Featherweight Grand Prix winner Chingiz Allazov. At last, the mega-fight fight, which was originally scheduled for October 1 of last year, is within fight week reach and some of our staff members took the opportunity to break down the clash between the two kickboxing superstars.

ANTHONY

Superbon Singha Mawynn and Chingiz Allazov are set to face off in the co-main of the ONE on Prime Video 6. This fight is between two kickboxers, who are considered by some to be the two best pound-for-pound currently. Superbon is on a historically dominant 12-fight win streak, with his last loss being to Marat Grigorian in 2018. Most notably, Superbon has since gone on to avenge his loss to Marat Grigorian, winning a wide decision against the Armenian. Superbon also won an upset victory over a fighter many consider to be the best kickboxer of all time, Giorgio Petrosyan, by a high kick knockout in the second round. Prior to that fight, Superbon won a unanimous decision over Sittichai in a back-and-forth kicking match. Superbon has shown significantly improved boxing since getting knocked out against Marat in 2018. Superbon’s varied kick gaming from both legs and his jab would be essential in determining how the fight goes against Chingiz. This historic streak gives the impression that Superbon is entering his prime right now and shows that Superbon is the pound-for-pound best kickboxer in the sport right now.

However, this is not to say that Chingiz Allazov is not an impressive fighter in his own right. Known as a crafty combination striker with an unorthodox, Allazov's stance switching and movement could very well give Superbon a lot of trouble. Chingiz showed an effective use of his length, movement, and combination striking in his fight against Sittichai, resulting in a hard-fought decision win against the southpaw kicker. Perhaps showing that Allazov could very well be entering his prime as well. However, it was also not that long ago that Chingiz lost to Enriko Kehl, where Chingiz seemed to have trouble dealing with the punching volume and forward pressure of the southpaw Kehl.

I believe that Superbon will come out the victor over a hard-fought decision, but that will depend on whether or not Allazov can get past Superbon's kicking weapons and use his combination work to score points or knockout Superbon.

KEVIN

A hard fight to predict! Chingiz Allazov's performance against Sitthichai might have been the most impressive performance of 2022. Just a few fighters had glimpses of success against the Thai, but nobody has ever countered him as effectively throughout the fight as Allazov. Especially his work to the body can't be an underestimated factor. Superbon, however, is a much more versatile and dynamic fighter than Sitthichai. His varied kicking game completely shut down Marat Grigorian in his last fight, and one could assume that the same fate awaits Allazov. I don't think he'll look to work his combinations game but rather his signature angles, countering Superbon's kicks while keeping up the pressure. The biggest unknown is Chingiz Allazov's cardio over five rounds. As opposed to the more relaxed Superbon, he's always moving, he's always feinting, looking for openings. 

Nonetheless, I think he's in the best shape of his life right now and has what it takes to outwork Superbon. If he's not able to do it, no one is. I think we'll see a new champion this weekend. Chingiz Allazov by decision.

PICO

The main question in this match-up is how Allazov deals with Superbon's kicking game. Chinga has to date had four fights inside the ONE circle, although two of them - Nattawut and Sana, ended too quickly for us to see how he'd deal with their kicks, which leaves us with his fights against Enriko Kehl and Sitthichai to see how he responds to dedicated kicking games.

Against Kehl, 'Chinga' had no other response but to take the damage and attempt to answer with his own combinations, which left the right side of his body bruised as early as the end of the first round. He did better in his Grand Prix final bout against Sitthichai, as he would often counter kicks with punches, whether to the body or upstairs. Sitthichai was still able to land a number of kicks however, and Allazov seemed visibly fatigued by the end of the three-round affair. All of this seems to favor Superbon, as he is a better kicker than both Kehl and Sitthichai and he'll have five rounds to work his magic.

Superbon by unanimous decision, in another backfoot masterclass.
So get excited! This is a HUGE fight! I know it's buried on Amazon Prime on a Friday night and it is impossible to tell from the outside how important it is, but now you know so maybe now you'll tune in?

The other news is that, assuming that Stamp and Anissa come out of their MMA/Muay Thai mixed bout unscathed, they will meet on the February show for the interim kickboxing title. Three different sports in a month? Why not?

Mostly, but they've had fighters lose titles on the scale and most recently their Flyweight Muay Thai GP final had both Superlek and Panpayak miss weight or hydration so it just became A Regular Fight and the GP had no winner.

ONE Championship’s Hydration & Weigh-In System

ONE Championship’s weight classes are unlike any other organization in the world. ONE has been an industry leader by banning weight-cutting via dehydration. Instead, the promotion has implemented a revolutionary system that ensures athletes are hydrated, fit, and healthy ahead of their bouts.

The new program, which is the first of its kind for combat sports, is focused on athlete safety by introducing “walking weight” competition via multiple weigh-ins and hydration tests before and during event week. An athlete’s “walking weight” will be tracked on a regular basis throughout the period that the athlete is contracted to ONE.

The weigh-in program was established after thorough discussions and recommendations by ONE’s Medical and Competition teams, consisting of Vice President of Medical Services Dr. Warren Wang, Chief Medical Advisor Dr. James Okamoto, Senior Vice President of Competition Matt Hume, and Vice President Rich Franklin.

How Does ONE’s Hydration & Weigh-In System Work?

- An athlete’s daily training weight is referred to as “walking weight.” ONE will assign an athlete his or her weight class based on the athlete’s “walking weight.” Bouts will be offered to an athlete strictly based on his or her “walking weight.”
- When athletes arrive at ONE’s athlete hotel at the start of event week, their weights will be checked. Every athlete must be within the restrictions of the contracted weight class or catchweight limit.
- During event week, all athletes will participate in a combined weigh-in and hydration test. Hydration will be checked through a urine specific gravity test in which every athlete will submit a urine sample to a medical technician. Under the guidance of ONE’s doctor, the technician and doctor will test the sample to ensure the athlete is hydrated with a urine specific gravity value of 1.025 or below. If the athlete passes this test, he or she can weigh-in. The athlete’s weight must be within the restrictions of the contracted weight class or catchweight limit.
- On event day, athletes who made weight and passed the hydration test on the previous day do not have to weigh-in. However, if an athlete has missed weight or failed a hydration test, then he or she must pass the hydration test and make weight on event day.
- If an athlete fails the hydration test on event day, he or she is not permitted to compete. Should an athlete pass the hydration test but weigh-in above the restrictions of the contracted weight class, then the bout may take place at a catchweight if the athlete is within 5 percent of his or her opponent’s official weight, and if the opponent agrees to competing at this catchweight. Additionally, a percentage of the athlete’s purse will be given to the opponent due to failure to make the contracted weight.
- Post-bout weight may not exceed 5 percent over the weight class or catchweight limit. If an athlete were to commit this offense, he or she will be held to the rules below:
First offense – athlete receives an official warning.
Second offense – athlete will be penalized 25 percent of his or her total fight purse.
Third offense – athlete will be penalized 50 percent of his or her purse. The athlete will also be permanently disqualified from competing in the weight class and must move up to the next higher weight class.

So I people that fail hydration need to drink enough water to pass it, but not enough water that their weight exceeds the weight class limit.

People that pass hydration but fail weight, like Rodtang, have room to cut via dehydration (lol even though it says that's banned on the rules) and hope that they don't do the inverse via too much sweating.

ONE Friday Fights 1 - 2022-01-20
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand

ONE promotes their first of what allegedly will be a weekly Friday night series in the world-famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok. I can’t promise that I’ll be able to keep up with this every week, but I shall try.

This week’s show has 10 Muay Thai fights and 2 MMA fights. The co-main aired after the main event, I believe for “Thai TV timing” reasons.

ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. No throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it.

ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not.

Fights highlighted in bold were ones that I found particularly entertaining.

GLORY kicks off their 2023 with the fifth installment in their GLORY Rivals series, where Glory-contracted fighters travel to the home grounds of other organizations to take on their best. War of Nations has held one event, with Muay Thai fights in a cage with the fighters wearing the 4 oz. MMA gloves, which you would be familiar with as the style of ONE Championship’s Muay Thai division. The co-promotion with GLORY is their second event, and will take place in a ring with kickboxing gloves and rules.

Several of the challengers to the GLORY fighters on this show have come to this event from the WGP Kickboxing organization, which was the original home of UFC champion Alex “Poatan” Pereira.

The main event sees GLORY #3 Featherweight Abraham “Ham” Vidales given a chance to headline a show in his home country. In October he lost a decision to P4P #3 Petchpanomrung. He will have a 6-inch height advantage over opponent Tomás “El Chacal” Aguirre from Argentina. Aguirre won the WGP Super Lightweight (142 lb) title in October over Renzo Martínez.

GLORY Basics: Kickboxing rules: punches, kicks, and knees allowed. No elbows, no throws. Clinch must include an immediate strike and, if active, fighters are allowed to work in the clinch for up to 5 seconds before the referee will separate them. Regular fights are 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights are 5 rounds of 3 minutes.

Tessa De Kom (14-1-1, 0 KO) vs. Giuliana Cosnard (47-2-1, 10 KO) (115)
#8 Bruno Gazani (67-7-1, 33 KO) vs. Nick Chasteen (12-6, 4 KO) (154)
#5 Denis Wosik (37-8-1, 9 KO) vs. Marcos Rios (69-3-7, 41 KO) (143)
Jonas Julio (21-3, 8 KO) vs. Javier Aparicio (36-2-2, 20 KO) (170)
#9 Ivan Galaz (58-10-1, 15 KO) vs. Renan Altamiro (61-11, 46 KO) (187)
#3 Abraham Vidales (15-2, 12 KO) vs. Tomás Aguirre (27-3, 22 KO) (143)

BKFC 35 is free on Fite tomorrow night, I presume so they can push hard for people to buy Knuckle Mania in 3 weeks to see "our one actual star Lorenzo Hunt" as well as "oh now Diego Sanchez is doing this poo poo"

ONE Friday Fights 2 - 2022-01-27
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand



This week’s show has 9 Muay Thai fights and 2 MMA fights. The main event is a rematch between “The Million Dollar Baby” Sangmanee and “Left Meteorite” Kulabdam. Kulabdam scored a first round KO over Sangmanee back in August 2020, but has since gone 0-2 in ONE while Sangmanee is 1-1 in that time. Three other fighters from the PK.Saenchai gym are featured on the show as well.

ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it.

ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not.

Fights highlighted in bold were ones that I found particularly entertaining.

I am disgusted (and not surprised) to hear that this is literally the first time a woman will be on commentary for a UFC show since they had Kathy Long on UFC 1.
