Clayton Lee Brutally Knocks Out Easton Edmond in LFA 233 Opener<\/p>\n
Featuring a total of nine bouts, LFA 233 kicked off with a lightweight matchup between Clayton Lee and Easton Edmond.<\/p>\n
Both men were making their respective professional debuts following undefeated amateur careers. Lee\u2019s amateur run began with a unanimous decision in 2022 before he went on to stop his next four opponents, while Edmond finished all five of his own amateur bouts via strikes. <\/p>\n
The four-fight prelim portion of LFA 233 ended up starting with a bang when the two lightweights entered the cage, as Lee only needed 44 seconds before he ducked into a massive overhand left that connected cleanly with Edmond\u2019s chin. <\/p>\n
Lee Wins! <\/p>\n

Lee quickly followed Edmond to the mat to make sure the fight was over, landing one more left hand on the ground before the referee stepped in to end things. <\/p>\n The 44-second knockout set the tone for LFA 223 prelims, as Lee\u2019s victory was followed by back-to-back submissions from Allen Holloway and Kevin Carrier before Soufiane Kabil improved to 4-0 by taking a unanimous decision over Eli Evangelista. <\/p>\n Carrier Wins! <\/p>\n Kevin Carrier def.
