Ian Heinisch has not made his troubled past a secret, hoping he can use it to inspire people to turn their lives around.
But that past had little to do with the sick shoulder lock Heinisch (8-0) dropped on Lucas Rota (12-7) on Friday in the LFA 10 main event. Heinisch looked outstanding in front of his hometown fans to submit the Brazilian around the midway point of the first round.
After the win, Heinisch said he’s ready for a chance to compete in the UFC’s middleweight division. Will that win be enough? Time will tell – but it’s worth watching above.
LFA 10 took place Friday at Massari Arena in Pueblo, Colo., and aired on AXS TV. Also on the card Nick Urso (10-3) dominated Brandon Royval (5-3) in their flyweight co-main event for a sweep of the judges’ scorecards; Andrew Tenneson (5-1) needed just 49 seconds to tap out Andrew Yates (9-2) with a slick guillotine in their featherweight bout; and bantamweight Adam Martinez (4-1) tapped Maikel Perez (3-1) with a guillotine, as well.
Check out the highlights from those fights in the video above.
