Women’s Championship Belt on the Up-to-date York line

Las Vegas, Nevada – The CEO of LFA, Ed Soares, announced today that the promotion will start a busy summer season in Up-to-date York with the championship at LFA 211. In the main event the title of WWASTAWIGHT WOMEN BANDAWIGHT will be on the line. LFA 211 will be the ninth event of LFA, which will take place in Empire.
LFA 211: Mesquita vs. Dinwoodie, presented by Monster EnergyIt takes place on Friday, June 20 at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, Up-to-date York, which is located 15 miles from the border from Pennsylvania in West Up-to-date York. In the main event there will be a fight for the title Bantam in a female weight, when the 10-time world champion Jiu-Jitsu Bia Mesquita will face the best invincible Canadian perspective Sierra Dinwoodie. The entire main card will be available all over the world UFC Fight Pass® at 21:00 et / 6 pm
“We are glad that we can bring women’s championship in Up-to-date York in LFA 211,” said Soares. “We have an amazing base of fans, which participates in our events in Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino, which is a world-class place in Up-to-date York. The place will be the host of the two best women in the world who will compete for our will for our will 135-pound title. Bia Mesquita is the greatest female of all Jiu-Jitsu, and Brazilian. Dinwoodie for the empty title of the WWaws WWaws champion in the battle for undefeated perspectives.
Tickets for LFA 211: Mesquita vs. Dinwoodie can be bought through Ticketmaster.com.
Mesquita (4-0) returns to the LFA octagon after making the most anticipated transition to MMA of any perspective in 2024. The Brazilian phenomenon began to train Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 5. At the age of 10, Brazilian National Championships won, three state championships and several other main tour. After receiving the black belt from the legend of Jiu-Jitsu Leticia Ribeiro fourteen years ago, Mesquita would start the career of the black belt, which would get her nickname “Bjj Lady Goat (the greatest of all time). She achieved this, becoming the only person who won 10 gold medals, which is a record for the most IBJJF World Championship titles Black belt.
Mesquita went to MMA last year, the debut of LFA and American Soil, which will appear in LFA 194. The sensation of Jiu-Jitsu showed her world-class grippers, folding Shannel Butler in the first round of their attractions. Then Mesquita quickly returned, competing in the co-main event during the event at the end of the LFA year at LFA 198. Mesquita would submit a Brazilian veteran Fernanda Araujo to give her three wins with a rear choke in her first three MMA duels. Fans, in turn, voted for her 2024 LFA FAN’s Choice Awards: Famel Fighter of the Year. Mesquita quickly showed why fans love her with another championship performance in Las Vegas against Hope Chase on LFA 203. The Brazilian dominated in battle before Chase threw the illegal Ustkick, which caused Mesquit’s disqualification.
Dinwoodie (4-0) will be a woman waiting for Mesquit when LFA is preparing to crown her third master Bantam in Bantam on the first day of summer. The best undefeated Canadian grew up in British Columbia in West Canada, but now he calls Ontario Home. The Canadian province shares the border with the state of Up-to-date York and Canadian fans, and the media have been fully strength in the last two wins of Dinwoodie, which took place in the LFA octagon. The first took place last year, when she also defeated the world champion Hope Chase 20 times.
Chase is the only previous opponent (and victory), which Dinwoodie divides with Mesquita, but it was the second of her two LFA wins, which is perhaps the most compelling. This win was with another best prospect of Bantam in Nikol Aguirre on LFA 202, which entered the fight with a lot of noise because of the black lane of Jiu-Jitsu, an undefeated record and knowledge of Mesquita. In fact, Aguirre loudly faced Mesquit with winning, but Dinwoodie quickly put an end to this conversation with the decisive victory with the best base warrior.
The victory of Dinwoodie over Aguirre made more than derailing a possible MMA fight between the senior rivals of Jiu-Jitsu, showed the world that a 5-meter, 11-inch specimen is a complete warrior. She was able to overtake the world champion of Karate 20 times in LFA 177, and then sold out the black Jiu-Jitsu belt at LFA 202. It was enough to convince LFA brass that she was ready to become the sixth Canadian woman in LFA history to fight for the world title. Five previous Canadian women are Loopy Godinez, Jamey-Lyn Horth, Ashley Nichols, Melissa Croden and Shannon Clark. Godinez, Horth and Clark won the titles, but Dinwoodie would become the first Canadian who won the title of champion Bantamwight in LFA with victory.

Morning Report | Raul Rosas Jr. still aiming to be youngest UFC champion, retire by 25
Published

September 24, 2026
On Saturday, Rosas steps into the octagon for the eighth when he takes on Raoni Barcelos in the main event of UFC Vegas 121. It's Rosas' first UFC main event, and still only 21 years old, he believes a big win on Saturday keeps him on the right track toward making history by becoming the youngest UFC champion ever.
“Yeah, that's the goal,†Rosas told Full Send MMA. “I think right now I'm on a good path. Winning this main event, I think, puts my in a very good position to keep chasing that dream.â€
Even if Rosas does score a big win on Saturday, he's still in a race against time. “El Niño Problema†turns 22 in a couple of weeks, and Jon Jones currently holds the record for youngest UFC champion, winning the light heavyweight title at 23 years and 243 days. That gives Rosas under two years to work his way up the stacked bantamweight ladder, something he realizes is no easy feat.
“I've got to be ready for short notice fights, be willing to take risks, and this Saturday, make a big statement for sure,†Rosas said. “Not just a win, but I've got to make a statement.â€
But even if Rosas achieves his dreams and breaks Jones' record, don't expect a long title reign. Because Rosas doesn't just want to rush his way to a title, he also wants to get out of the sport quickly, too.
“Yeah, if by 25 I accomplish everything that I want to accomplish in my career, I'm just going to step back from the sport,†Rosas said. “The goal is to get the belt and then defend it a couple of times, try to challenge myself, go up a weight class, maybe two, and after I'm done, like, I run out of goals, that's when I'm just gonna quit. It could be 26, 27, 28, but I'm just saying whenever I'm done with my goals, that's when I'm gonna step out of the game.â€
Champ. Justin Gaethje thinks Ilia Topuria is too small for lightweight, says Arman Tsarukyan is ‘next in line.'
SOCIAL MEDIA BOUILLABAISSE
Paulo Costa laying it all out there.
The beef I never saw coming.
Apparently there was a Yaroslav Amosov death hoax yesterday.
Something to look out for.
Carlos Prates says UFC has confirmed he’s next for Islam Makhachev
So, I think most of us believe this is what’s going to happen, but speaking at Contender Series, Carlos Prates said the UFC confirmed he’s next, and he’s hoping for January.
Thoughts? Is Carlos gonna stop Islam’s run?
Jose Aldo was actually champion at nearly 6 months younger than Jon, but since the UFC didn't officially fold the WEC into its organization until long after Zuffa acquired it, he was only the de fact UFC featherweight champion, and Jon is technically the youngest UFC champion.
I always feel its important to note that because people desperately want to forget how incredible Jose Aldo was.

Justin Gaethjes manager says Ilia Topuria doesnt call the shots

September 24, 2026
Gaethje's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, believes Ilia
Topuria has no say in whether an immediate rematch happens.
Topuria suffered the first loss of his professional career against
Gaethje, losing the
Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title at
UFC Freedom 250 in June. Topuria has since pushed for a
rematch. Abdelaziz, however, dismissed the possibility.
Ali Abdelaziz says Justin Gaethje has nothing to gain from an
immediate Ilia Topuria rematch
Talking with Submission Radio, Abdelaziz emphasized that Topuria
doesn't have the power to call for an immediate rematch. He further
claimed that Gaethje simply has the Georgian-Spaniard's number and
will beat him again should they run it back.
“He’s not fighting Justin Gaethje next,†Abdelaziz said. “He
doesn’t call the shots. Only one guy in the past did that and his
name is Conor
McGregor and he’s not Conor McGregor. Nobody is. He was a
favorite because everybody thought he was better than Justin. I
believe Justin Gaethje will beat him nine out of 10 times. You know
why? Justin has his number. I don’t think he can beat Justin
Gaethje. He thinks he can, and he should think he can. He was close
to beating Justin Gaethje, but he didn’t. At the end of the day,
this fight will never happen. I can tell you this: Justin Gaethje
has zero gain to beat Ilia Topuria again.â€
Abdelaziz then addressed Topuria's claim that Gaethje had something
unusual in his gloves during their fight.
“If this is what he wants to say that he had rocks in his gloves,
that’s a compliment to Justin Gaethje; how hard he punches,â€
Abdelaziz said. “I’m not going to be insulted by that, because the
Las Vegas Commission was there, the D.C. Commission was there,
Andy
Foster from California was there. He had three commissions
watching him about the gloves. But he said that (during) Arman’s
fight week to take away from Arman and Ruffy’s hype. This is what
Conor used to do, and he did a good job. He got himself in the
media.â€

Dana White fires back at Paulo Costa over UFC fight dispute

White has addressed Paulo
Costa's frustration with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Costa recently slammed UFC exec Hunter Campbell after he was
seemingly offered a short-notice five-round bout for the final
fight of his current contract. While the former title challenger is
open to accepting a five-rounder, he wants to be compensated
accordingly and have ample time to prepare for a 25-minute bout.
The Brazilian has even repeatedly requested his release from the
promotion.
Paulo Costa says he wants his final UFC fight as Dana White
points to offers he turned down
When asked about Costa's comments following
Week 7 of
Dana White's Contender Series, White acknowledged the fighter's
frustration but revealed that “Borrachinha†has turned down several
fights.
“Oh, yeah. [Paulo is] frustrated, yeah,†White said. “He’s been
offered fights and turned them down. We don’t just say, ‘f*ck Paulo
Costa,’ and, ‘you’re not going to get a fight,’ and ‘no, we’re not
going to pay you,’ and ‘no, we’re not going to do this.’ Guys get
offered three fights a year regularly, even guys who aren’t
fighting. Tom
Aspinall’s eyes are messed up. He’s getting offered fights. You
think Paulo Costa isn’t getting offered fights?â€
Costa previously called for an interim title fight amidst light
heavyweight champ Carlos
Ulberg's rehabilitation from injury, but later claimed the UFC
wasn't interested. Most recently, he was called out by former champ
Magomed
Ankalaev.
Ok, I'm making this public and clear:
I have 1 fight left. On my contract The purse is set for 3 rounds,
not 5. I'm asking for the 3-round fight that was already agreed on
contract . It can be anyone on the UFC LHW roaster.I think Hunter has 3 options now:
A) Give me that last…— Paulo
