LFA 15 emanates from the FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma on Friday night (June 30th, 2017) and will be televised live on AXS TV at 9 p.m. ET. The vacant LFA heavyweight title is on the line in the main event as undefeated Team Quest product Jared Vanderaa faces Richard Odoms.
Vanderaa (5-0) has only made it to the second round once in his career and boasts three wins by knockout and two by submission. The 25-year-old will be making his promotional debut and could be headed to the UFC with a win. Meanwhile, Odoms (12-3) is a San Antonio police officer by day and figther by night. The 42-year-old heads into this championship tilt having won four of his last five fights.
In the co-main event, Bellator veteran Cortez Coleman takes on Chris Harris in a middleweight affair. Coleman (13-7) hasn’t fought since November, when he suffered a third-round submission loss to Rafael Lovato Jr. at Legacy FC 62 for the middleweight title. The loss snapped the 35-year-old’s three-fight win streak.
Harris (8-1) had his eight-fight win streak snapped in his last fight, losing by unanimous decision to Jordan Young at Bellator 171. The Wichita, Kansas native has five wins by knockout along with two submission victories.
