CLARKSVILLE, TN – Legacy Fighting Alliance CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to Clarksville for its second event in the city, headlined by a championship main event at LFA 226. The event marks the LFA’s continued expansion in the Southeast following a highly successful debut in the region last year and will feature a pivotal middleweight title bout with major divisional implications.

LFA 226: Allakhverdiev vs. Kropschot, presented by Monster Energy, takes place Friday, Feb. 6, at the F&M Bank Arena. Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster.com. The event will be broadcast live in the United States on Vice TV.

The main event will feature reigning LFA Middleweight Champion David Allakhverdiev (7-0) of Ukraine defending his title against challenger Joe “The Land Animal” Kropschot (7-3).

Allakhverdiev, an undefeated standout from Ukraine, enters the bout riding significant momentum after capturing the LFA middleweight title in dominant fashion. Known for his composure, finishing ability, and well-rounded skill set, the champion has quickly established himself as one of the most promising middleweights on the organization’s roster. A successful title defense would further cement his position among the division’s elite.

Standing across from him will be Kropschot, a physically imposing and battle-tested American contender with a reputation for relentless pressure and high-level grappling. With multiple finishes on his record and experience against tough competition, Kropschot represents the most dangerous challenge of Allakhverdiev’s career to date. A victory would crown a new champion and shake up the LFA middleweight division.

“This is exactly the type of title fight we want when returning to a market like Clarksville,” stated Soares.
“Our debut here with LFA 219 was a big success, and now we’re coming back with a world championship on the line. Both of these fighters are hungry, dangerous, and ready to make a statement. The fans in Tennessee are in for another incredible night of fights.”
