This will mark another return to the state of Arizona, one of the LFA’s most established markets, and another event at the Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix.

“We’re excited to return to Phoenix with another high-level international matchup,” stated Soares. “Aziz Osorbek Uulu, is an aggressive and dangerous fighter who always brings action. Eduardo Torres brings a wealth of experience and has proven himself against tough competition throughout his career. This is exactly the kind of world class headlining bout that LFA fans have come to expect.”

With 22 professional fights and victories over seasoned competition, Torres has built his reputation through durability, technical skill, and consistency. Now, he gets the opportunity to headline on one of the LFA’s biggest stages in Phoenix.
