LFA announced today that the promotion will return to New York on the third Friday in February. LFA 202 will feature a Flyweight Showdown when the promotion returns to the Empire State. This will be the eighth LFA event to take place in the USA’s fourth most populated state.
LFA 202: Nkuta vs. Garcia takes place Friday, February 21st at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. The main event will feature a Flyweight Showdown between top prospects “Turbo” Phumi Nkuta and “Elusive” Adrian Garcia.
“We are excited to bring another stacked international fight card to New York,” stated LFA CEO Ed Soares. “LFA 202 is loaded with top talent from around the world, which our incredible American and Canadian fanbase in Niagara Falls can truly appreciate. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is a world-class venue located on an international border, which gives our events in the venue a special atmosphere on fight night. It will now host two of the top flyweight prospects in the sport. Phumi Nkuta has roots in South Africa, but proudly represents the Tri-State Area. He is a top undefeated prospect that has also recently competed in Pro Grappling and Pro Wrestling. He will face Adrian Garcia, who is a dynamic striker from south Florida that has a knack for playing spoiler with home crowd favorites in the LFA. This will create an explosive showdown on February 21st.”
Nkuta (8-0) was born to a South African mother, who fled the apartheid regime aiming to give her kids a better life and Phumelele (known as Phumi) has certainly made his family proud. Now fighting out of Union City, New Jersey, which is located just across the Hudson River from New York City, “Turbo” has emerged as the next-big-thing from the famed New York based fight team run by Matt Serra and Ray Longo. This is the same fight camp that has produced UFC champions Chris Weidman, Aljamain Sterling, and Merab Dvalishvili. In fact, Nkuta was a main training partner for Sterling during his title run and even lived with him at one point. That championship pedigree rubbed off on Nkuta as he has captured multiple regional MMA titles, while also competing in Pro Grappling and Pro Wrestling. Nkuta ended 2024 by winning a Pro Wrestling match against former UFC and WWE star Matthew Riddle before competing in a Pro Grappling match just 8 days later. Now Nkuta looks to represent the Mzansi (South African) flag, while making his LFA debut in New York in the main event of LFA 202.
Garcia (8-2-1) is a man that showed the world he is comfortable playing spoiler in hostile environments. He did it this past summer at LFA 190 by becoming the first man to defeat Daniel Park and did it in front of Park’s home crowd in southern California. The man known as “Elusive” was able to drop Park early and that set the tone for the rest of the fight. Garcia continued to apply pressure throughout the fight with striking and timely takedowns en route to sweeping every round on all three score cards. The win also marked Garcia’s return to the sport after a nearly two year hiatus, but for fans it was worth the wait. Now training out of the Goat Shed in his hometown of Miami, Florida, the dynamic kickboxer who proudly represents his Cuban and Salvadoran roots is looking to play spoiler once again. Except this time around, Garcia will get to shine in the marquee of an LFA main event after winning on LFA in August. This will happen when he travels to Nkuta’s backyard of New York in a can’t miss showdown between two of the sport’s most exciting prospects.
