LFA 46 takes place at Felker Field Hangar at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Newport News, Virginia on Friday (July 27, 2018) at 10pm ET live on AXS TV. LFA welterweight champion James Nakashima makes the first defense of his title against undefeated Kyle Stewart.
Nakashima (8-0) has been on the sidelines since September due to injuries and is coming off a split decision victory over Derrick Krantz at LFA 23 where he captured the LFA title. The MMA Lab standout will be looking for his first stoppage victory as all of his fights have gone the distance. Stewart (10-0) has only gone the distance once in his last four fights and is coming off a submission victory over Chauncey Foxworth at Iron Boy MMA 11 in May. “Gunz Up” holds wins over UFC veteran Estevan Payan, previously undefeated Jaleel Willis and former Titan FC champion Jason Jackson who he defeated on Contender Series last year.
Here’s my interview with LFA champion James Nakashima
Here’s my interview with the challenger Kyle Stewart
The co-main event pits Bellator veteran Alexandre Bezerra against Sam Toomer.
Bezerra (20-5) has won three of his last four fights, including a unanimous decision victory over Ray Wood at NEF 29 in June. The 30-year-old has fought the likes of Charles Oliveira, UFC veteran Levan Makashvili and former WSOF featherweight champion Andre Harrison. Toomer (11-2) had his two-fight win streak snapped when he was submitted by Roufusport standout Nate Jennerman at LFA 29 in December. The 30-year-old has finished 8 of his 11 career opponents and will look to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time in his career.
