LFA 231: Trembley vs Johns, will feature a pivotal featherweight main event as former LFA champion Elijah Johns (10-3) takes on undefeated Minnesota standout Taner Trembley (6-0) in a scheduled three-round bout.
“Minnesota has become one of our strongest markets, and this is exactly the type of fight the fans here appreciate,” stated Soares. “You have Elijah Johns, a former champion who knows what it takes to win at the highest level in the LFA, against Taner Trembley, an undefeated local fighter looking to make a statement in front of his home crowd.”
Elijah Johns (10-3) returns to the LFA cage with championship experience and a proven résumé inside the promotion. A former LFA titleholder, Johns has faced top-tier opposition and understands the pace, pressure, and expectations that come with main event status.
