CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee — On Thursday, October 9th, LFA hosted the official weigh-in for LFA 219: Thomson vs. Islomboev at the DoubleTree by Hilton Clarksville Riverview. The event will be headlined by a featherweight showdown between Australia’s Isaac Thomson (8-2) and Uzbekistan’s Akbarjon Islomboev (10-1).
LFA 219, presented by Monster Energy, marks the promotion’s highly anticipated debut in the state of Tennessee. The event will take place at the brand-new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville and will feature a full lineup of top emerging talent from across the United States and around the world. The broadcast team will include veteran MMA commentator Ron Kruck, alongside former UFC star and Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez, calling the action live from cageside at the F&M Bank Arena. The Main Card will be broadcast LIVE worldwide on UFC FIGHT PASS® at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT / 6 p.m. PT.
The main event will see Isaac Thomson, a dynamic striker from Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, take on Akbarjon Islomboev, one of Uzbekistan’s most dangerous finishers, in a bout with major implications for the LFA featherweight division.
With the exception of Dzhamal Mavliudov and Raheam Forest, who came in over the division limit, all fighters successfully made weight for the event. Both bouts will proceed as scheduled, with penalties paid to their respective opponents. The preliminary bout between Travon Eller & Myles Dillahunty has been cancelled due to an excessive weight miss by Dillahunty. As a result, LFA 219 will move forward with 13 action-packed bouts, capped off by the highly anticipated international clash between Thomson and Islomboev.
