LFA 26 takes place at Arena Theatre in Houston, Texas Friday (Nov 3, 2017) at 9 p.m. (ET) live on AXS TV. Heavyweight champion Richard Odoms defends his title in the main event against Jeff Hughes
Odoms (13-3) captured the vacant LFA heavyweight title in his last bout when he submitted Jared Vanderaa at LFA 15. The 42-year-old has won six of his last seven fights. Hughes (7-1) makes his promotional debut and the lone loss on his record was a 2016 TKO setback to TUF 19’s Dan Spohn. The 29-year-old is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Ryan Pokryfky at Big Guns 24.
In the co-main event, Larry Crowe looks to snap a three-fight skid when he battles Bilal Williams. Crowe (9-6) hasn’t competed since a October 2015 loss to current UFC middleweight Trevin Giles at Fury FC 15. The 33-year-old looks for his first win since November 2014. Williams (8-4) heads into this matchup off a TKO loss to Geoffrey Neal at LFA 16. After winning four-fights in a row, the 34-year-old has now lost two of his last three fights.
