LFA 43 takes place at Beaumont Civic Center in Beaumont, Texas on Friday (June 22, 2018) at 9pm ET live on AXS TV. Two time LFA title challenger Brendan Allen looks to bounce back against Larry Crowe in the main event.
Allen (8-3) is coming off another failed bid for the LFA middleweight title as he lost a unanmous decision to Contender Series’ Anthony Hernandez at LFA 32 in January. The 22-year-old Roufusport product has lost two of his last three fights, with the other loss coming against current UFC middleweight Eryk Anders at LFA 14. Allen hasn ever lost back-to-back fights in his career. Crowe (10-6) snapped a three-fight losing streak in his last bout where he earned a split decision over Bilal Williams at LFA 26 in November. The 34-year-old has only fought once since 2016.

Heffernan (6-0) is coming off a submission win over Derek Brenon at Paramount MMA: Contenders back in March. The 28-year-old has finished three of his six opponents and will be making his LFA debut. Stanonik (6-3) has won four of his last five fights including a unanimous decision victory over Chris Pecero at XKO 41 in May. The 29-year-old has only gone the distance twice in his career.
