With LFA firm in its position as one of MMA’s top feeder leagues, the organization is now set on international recognition. Ahead of the company’s landmark 100th event, which takes place Friday in Kansas and streams live on UFC Fight Pass, LFA CEO said he’s targeting a series of events in Brazil later this year and eyes further expansion, as well. “I think one of the biggest things that we’re really focused on this year is expanding internationally,” Soares told MMA Junkie. “I think we’re going to do maybe two to four shows internationally, and we’re looking to expand to Brazil in 2021 – and then even looking further than that, I would love to maybe even eventually expand and do international shows in Europe.
