LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA announced today the complete fight card and broadcast team for another action-packed night of fights at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. LFA 232 will be headlined by a featherweight world title bout as Brazil’s Erick Visconde faces Uruguay’s Gustavo Pintos for the vacant championship.
LFA 232: Visconde vs. Pintos, presented by Monster Energy, will feature veteran MMA commentator Ron Kruck alongside former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling and social & cageside correspondent host Karisa Maxwell, who will call the action live from the Foxwoods Resort Casino. The event will be broadcast LIVE in the United States on VICE TV at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
The featherweight title became vacant after former champion Lerryan Douglas signed with the UFC, opening the door for two of the division’s top contenders to battle for the belt. The event marks the 3rd return to Foxwoods Resort Casino, one of the promotion’s premier venues in the Northeast.
Erick Visconde (16-3) enters the bout as one of the most dangerous finishers in the LFA featherweight division. The Brazilian standout has built his reputation on an aggressive style and devastating knockout power. In 2025, Visconde produced one of the most memorable highlights in LFA history when he landed a spectacular spinning elbow knockout, earning LFA Knockout of the Year honors. With multiple highlight-reel finishes on his résumé, Visconde now looks to capture the LFA featherweight world title and continue Brazil’s long tradition of producing elite champions in the division.
Standing across from him will be Gustavo Pintos (10-0), an undefeated standout from Uruguay who has quickly emerged as one of the most promising prospects in South American MMA. Pintos brings a perfect professional record into the bout and has impressed fans with his relentless pace and well-rounded skill set. Now stepping onto the biggest stage of his career, the Uruguayan looks to shock the Brazilian contender and claim the LFA featherweight world championship.
