A post shared by Andrea Lee (@andreakgblee). Houston's Adrian Yanez punches Davey Grant of England in a bantamweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event at UFC APEX on November 20, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. At age 18, he met his coach Francisco Bueno and the rest is history. His last LFA fight was a close one, but Romero is confident that whoever he fights for Fury FC will walk away on the losing end of a finish. And his losses include Matt Mitrione, Gabriel Gonzaga, and Chieck Kongo. He currently competes in the Lightweight division in the Ultimate, Israel Mobolaji Adesanya (born 22 July 1989) is a Nigerian-New Zealander professional mixed martial artist, kickboxer, and boxer. Ive seen several of his fights, but he hasnt been on my radar, until now. Heath "The Texas Crazy Horse" Herring. If you were a fighter with fewer than five fights, you received $2,500. While not originally from Texas, Derrick Lewis has called Houston home for most of his life and proudly represents H-Town.. For me, I think what people can attest to the most is just, Im not a perfect fighter by any means. Early life [ edit] Lingo began training in martial arts at a young age after his father found out he'd been involved in a street fight. But, for me, Im like, What do I have to do? Like I know I need to get to finish and stuff.
