Interview with Casey Kenney

Episode 16 of Early Stoppage with Derek Moody features an interview with Casey Kenney. Casey currently fights for LFA in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. He is a 9X Judo National Champion as well as Tachi Palace Fights Flyweight Champion, and Tuff N Uff Flyweight Champion. Casey currently trains out of Rise Combat Sports, where he credits a lot of his development to his coach and mentor Chris Cariaso. We also dive into why he walked away from a full ride wrestling scholarship to pursue his mma dreams. Casey has fought on Dana White’s Contender Series twice so we spoke about what led to him being on the show both times and his interactions with the UFC during that time period. In 2018 he was been victorious in both of his LFA fights most recently at LFA 44 defeating Roman Salazar. It’s only a matter of time before he either gets a call up to the UFC or a third appearance on the Contender Series. I hope you guys enjoy the episode.
