Merab Dvalishvili dominated former bantamweight champion Petr Yan earlier this month, making the former champion look like a shell of his former self. Now hes revealed that he was suffering from a hand injury ahead of the fight and re-injured it during the bout making the feat even that much more impressive. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Merab Dvalishvili (@merab.dvalishvili) Two weeks before my fight I injured my hand, he wrote on Instagram along with several bits of photographic evidence. I was only training with one arm. During the first minutes of my fight, I could feel the pain in my hand, but I was ignoring the pain so I could fight. During the fight I re-injured my hand and I still feel the pain in my hand today. The win earned him the unquestionable title shot b...

Following a shaky start to his 2022 with a loss at LFA 125 in February, lightweight Solomon Renfro rebounded with two straight wins to close out the year and build a winning streak for himself. One of the takeaways Renfro got from his loss was the fact that some things needed changing in order for him to be successful, and when he made those changes things turned around. There were highs and lows, but overall I felt I had a great overall 2022, Renfro told MMAWeekly.com. It could have been better with the way that it started with the stoppage by the referee against (Adam) Fugitt, but thats one of those things that is what it is, and I finished out the year strong. I learned my lessons and changed my team up quite a bit. Some things had to happen, change the weight class, forced me to change my team to become a better fighter, and Ive done those things now and am ready to tak...

While he might not have been as active as some fighters were in 2022, flyweight Joe Camacho feels like the year was ultimately a positive one for him. Following a unanimous decision win in June over Alden Coria at LFA 134, Camacho spent the remainder of the year on the sidelines, but remaining undefeated to start his career is never a bad thing. Last year we started off pretty good, said Camacho. I made my debut in the LFA and it went good, and then after that fight I went back into training and had a few injuries here and there that set me back a bit, but it feels good to be back on track now. When it comes to his game, Camacho was able to make strides last year by staying consistent in the gym with the rest of his team. I feel like nothing has changed, said Camacho. We just stick to the same structure at our gym. Consistency and discipline is our main key in our gym. W...
