LFA has a new home in the U.S.
A promotional official confirmed confirmed to MMA Fighting that LFA has signed a new deal with Vice TV, which officially kicks off with LFA 224 on Jan. 16 at The Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minn. The event is headlined by Matt Adams vs. Arslan Bilalov for the vacant LFA heavyweight title.
The deal involves Vice TV airing 25 events to air live on the network throughout 2026. The network has made combat sports and sports entertainment a priority over the years with hit shows like professional wrestling deep dive series Dark Side of the Ring and its MMA equivalent Dark Side of the Cage, which aired its first season in the first quarter of 2025, telling stories of fighters such as Ronda Rousey and Nick Diaz.
Vice TV has also added PFL international events, along with select BKB cards to air on their network.
LFA 224 also includes a matchup between undefeated welterweight Josiah Harrell and Bekmyrza Dosmatov.
Following their 2026 debut event, the promotion heads to Brazil for LFA 225 on Jan. 23 headlined by an interim flyweight title fight between Marcos Degli and Luís Aguiar.
