Legacy Fighting Alliance delivered another action-packed night of mixed martial arts at LFA 240, presented by Monster Energy, highlighted by a dominant main event showcase from lightweight standout Dedrek Sanders and explosive first-round finishes across the main card in front of a packed audience at F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee, on Friday night.
In the headliner, Dedrek Sanders put on a masterclass performance against Luis Gomez in a pivotal lightweight clash. Sanders dictated the pace and controlled every phase of the fight over three rounds, earning a clean sweep on the judges’ scorecards with identical 30-27 tallies to secure the unanimous decision victory.
The co-main event saw featherweight prospect Akbarjon Islomboev make a loud statement, securing a slick first-round rear-naked choke submission over Elvis Silva at the 4:13 mark.
Earlier on the main card, Shane Sobnosky Jr. delivered the fastest finish of the night, needing just 27 seconds to take care of Andrew Stewart in their middleweight matchup. Finn Martin also picked up a first-round stoppage against Mataeo Garner at 205 pounds, while Francisco Hernandez and Quadarrius McGinnis each earned decisive decision wins in their respective featherweight and welterweight bouts.
The preliminary card was equally electric, featuring lightning-fast first-round submission finishes by Myles Dillahunty and Chuy Rodriguez, alongside dynamic stoppage victories across the card.
