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.

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.

“Venom” Page says his new deal will pay him more than he earned
during his
Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure.
Page had promised an exciting performance against Nursulton
Ruziboev in September, the final bout of his UFC contract. He
won by unanimous decision, but the promotion opted not to re-sign
him. The Englishman now says his move to Misfits Boxing will bring
a substantial increase in earnings.
Michael Page compares three-fight Misfits contract with
earnings from six UFC appearances
Page produced highlight-reel knockouts in Bellator,
but all six of his UFC appearances went the distance. He finished
5-1 in the promotion, with his only loss coming against Ian
Garry.
Page (26-3) said he received offers from several promotions before
signing with Misfits. He expects to earn more from the three-fight
agreement than he did from his six UFC bouts, describing his new
compensation as roughly double what he previously earned. He also
said Misfits intends to launch an MMA show with him as a leading
figure.
“Misfits came with an absolutely crazy deal, which means I’ve
continued to grow and get better financially,†Page told Ariel
Helwani. “They have vision for the future. They're trying to get an
MMA show going, with me kind of lead that way, be the face of that…
I’ve left the UFC and I’m making more money. Like two times more,
maybe just over, and in a shorter period. In a three-fight deal,
I’ll make more than I have my whole UFC contract.â€
MVP reveals he’ll make more money in his
three-fight Misfits deal than he did during his entire UFC run,
with seven figures per fight: “Misfits came with an absolutely

Alistair Overeem wants to be part of the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua boxing card on Dec. 11, and he wants Rico Verhoeven standing across the squared circle.
Overeem shared a post on social media suggesting the bout after mentioning his interest in transitioning to boxing, and issued a callout on his Instagram stories.
“Stop hiding,†Overeem wrote. “Let's make history.â€
Fury vs. Joshua takes place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and airs live on Netfilx.
Verhoeven was part of a massive boxing show this past May in Egypt, where he lost via controversial 11th-round stoppage in his boxing debut against heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Prior to that match, Verhoeven remained undefeated in kickboxing for over a decade, reigning as the GLORY heavyweight champion. He was slated to face Overeem in 2021, but the MMA veteran withdrew due to an injury.
The former Strikeforce titleholder won four of his past six UFC bouts, all by knockout, between 2018 and 2021, including a first-round stoppage over Sergei Pavlovich.

Bonfim has been removed from the
Ultimate Fighting Championship roster.
Bonfim's UFC tenure ended after a loss to Francisco
Prado at
UFC Vegas 122 on Saturday. The Brazilian missed the non-title
lightweight limit by 7.5 pounds and forfeited 25% of his purse. He
then suffered a first-round technical knockout before being removed
from the roster.
Ismael Bonfim exits UFC with 2-5 record after third weight miss
and Francisco Prado TKO
This was Bonfim's third weight miss during his UFC tenure. He came
in 3.5 pounds overweight for a scheduled fight against Vinc Pichel
in 2023, prompting the bout's cancellation. Bonfim missed weight by
five pounds against Chris
Padilla last year and lost by knockout. He was finished in his
last four UFC appearances.
Before news of his departure, Bonfim posted a statement Sunday
reflecting on the loss. The 30-year-old thanked his supporters and
said his career was not over.
“Always grateful to God for life, health and every opportunity He
gives me,†Bonfim wrote on Instagram. “Everything doesn’t go as
planned, results don’t always come as desired, but my faith remains
unshakable. Because, above my plans, are God’s plans, and I choose
to trust, even when I don’t understand. Thank you to every person
cheering me on, praying for me and standing by my side no matter
the outcome. You are all part of my story! There are no excuses, no
shame, and much less reason to give up. We’ve come here the hardest
way, facing battles few know about, overcoming fears, breaking
barriers, and fighting against things that go far beyond what
happens inside an octagon. The result of a battle does not define
the value of a warrior, and defeat will never be able to erase the
entire history we have built. I keep my head held high, my heart at
peace and my faith even stronger. Because who knows where he came
from, everything he faced and how much he had to fight to get here,
doesn’t give up because of a result. My story doesn’t end here. God
is still writing the next chapters, and I trust Him completely. All
honor and all glory be given to God!â€
Bonfim earned a UFC contract on
Dana White's Contender Series in 2022 and won his promotional
debut with a flying knee knockout of Terrance
McKinney. He went 1-5 afterward, finishing his UFC tenure at
2-5.
