LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA CEO Ed Soares has officially announced a loaded 13-fight lineup for LFA 211, set to kick off UFC International Fight Week on Friday, June 20 at the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, New York. Headlined by a women’s bantamweight title fight between 10x BJJ world champion Bia Mesquita and undefeated Canadian standout Sierra Dinwoodie, the event will stream live worldwide on UFC FIGHT PASS® at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
“This card is a throwback to an era when you could catch local wars and future champions in the same building,” said Soares. “We have 13 professional fights featuring talent from 11 countries across five continents. From Mesquita vs. Dinwoodie to breakout stars like Phumi Nkuta and Lucas Seibert, this is one of the deepest cards we’ve brought to New York.”
This marks LFA’s ninth event in the Empire State and promises to set the tone for the summer MMA schedule, just ahead of UFC 317.
Main Event: Bia Mesquita vs. Sierra Dinwoodie – Women’s Bantamweight Title
In a battle of unbeaten prospects, Bia Mesquita (4-0)—widely considered the greatest female jiu-jitsu competitor of all time—faces Sierra Dinwoodie (4-0) for the vacant LFA Women’s Bantamweight World Title. Mesquita brings a decorated grappling pedigree and fierce ground game, while Dinwoodie has emerged as Canada’s top 135-pound female prospect.
