Richie Miranda retained the LFA lightweight championship at LFA 215 by unanimous decision over Ilay Barzilay after five rounds in Ventura, California. Miranda dominated early and nearly finished Barzilay late in the second round, but Barzilay survived as the bell saved him. The final three rounds tested Miranda's heart, grit, and determination while Barzilay remained a formidable opponent. Miranda extended his win streak to six, recorded a title defense, and signaled his readiness for a UFC call-up. Miranda emphasized a desire for an early stoppage and said his style is about finishing opponents.
This whole time I wanted an early stoppage, but you know. My stye is about putting fools down and that's what I had to do today,
The ref was right there. He (Barzilay) gave a thumbs up, but I just kept hitting him. When I see the ref right there I'm trying to finish it as fast as possible. I know he's ready to step in and that's what I wanted to do,
Let's do it baby! Hey I'm busting this thing all night. So you guys better call me up. My manager is waiting. Cub Swanson's waiting for the phone call!
