The Legacy Fighting Alliance brought LFA 125 to
Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, New York on Friday night.
The card topped the women's strawweight title fight, with unbeaten Brazilian Jaqueline
Amorim competing against "Nigerian Terminator" Loveth Young.
The main
event featured heavy hitter Loveth Young fight for the 2021 LFA Women's Fighter
of the Year, the undefeated Jaqueline Amorim LFA Women's Straightweight title.
The highlight of the event was that the winner was going to be the fourth
champion in the history of the division.
The victory was not without some madness and
trouble. In the opening minutes, Young grabbed the cage with both hands in an
attempt to take down and quickly deducted a point for fouling referee John England.
Upon the rest, Young pushed Amorim toward the canvas
and dropped the bomb. After being shot in the face, Amorim angrily grabbed
Young's leg. After a little effort, Amorim managed to torque, which was
unbeatable. With that, Amorim tapped Young to win his first MMA title and
extended his final series to five.
Amorim (5-0) defeated Loveth Young (3-2-1) by an
86-second knee bar to win the empty LFA Women's Straightweight Championship and
crowned a new Women's Straightweight Champion for the first time.

"I want to be a UFC champion one day,"
Amorim told MMA junkie in January. "I know I have a lot of work to do. I
always keep in mind that I will not just go into the sport and be like another
fighter. I really want to be a champion one day. That's what it is. I'm working
right now. "
