LFA 90 highlights: Watch Zviad Lazishvili claim vacant bantamweight strap

The LFA cage reopened for business once again Friday night in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as LFA 90 featured an eight-fight card at the Sanford Pentagon.

The promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap was up for grabs in the night’s main event as undefeated Georgian Zviad Lazishvili (13-0) submitted the previously undefeated Ricky Steele (6-1) via first-round rear-naked choke to capture the 135-pound title.

There was a big knockout for Brazilian welterweight Maycon Mendoca (10-4) in the co-main event, as he finished Devin Smyth (9-3) late in the second round to claim his fourth straight victory under the LFA banner.

There was also a heavy-handed finish early in the night, courtesy of bantamweight Allan Begosso (4-0), who scored a 48-second TKO finish of Sean McPadden in their 135-pound matchup to extend his undefeated record and hand McPadden (4-1) his first career defeat.
