LFA 27 takes place at FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma Friday (Nov 10, 2017) at 9 p.m. (ET) live on AXS TV. Robert Watley makes the first defense of his lightweight title in the main event against Daryl Wilson
Watley (8-1) captured the lightweight title in his last bout, defeating former champion Thiago Moises by unanimous decision in an upset victory. “Contact” hasn’t lost a fight since his pro-debut in June 2014 and is currently riding an eight-fight win streak. Wilson (7-1) heads into this matchup on a five-fight win streak including a first-round TKO victory over Jarrod Card in his LFA debut in September. The 25-year-old has finished his last four opponents and competes for the fourth time this year.
In the co-main event TUF 23’s Myron Dennis looks for his third-straight win when he battles Contender Series light heavyweight Ryan Spann. Dennis (15-6) was eliminated by Andrew Sanchez on Season 23 of the Ultimate Fighter and has gone 3-2 since the show. The 28-year-old will compete for the third time this year. Spann (11-5) has won two of his last three fights with his lone blemish coming against Karl Roberson at Dana White’s Contender Series 3 in July. The 26-year-old looks for back-to-back wins for the first time since June 2015.
