Clarksville’s F&M Bank Arena to Host LFA’s Debut Event in Tennessee with Pivotal Featherweight Bout

Clarksville, TN – LFA CEO Ed Soares has announced that the promotion will head to Clarksville, Tennessee with a pivotal featherweight main event at LFA 219. The event marks the eleventh international headlining bout for the year and features two rising stars on the verge of title contention and UFC recognition. The promotional debut in Tennessee will also bring the number of states the LFA has visited to thirty.

 

LFA 219: THOMSON vs. ISLOMBOEV, presented by Monster Energy, takes place Friday, October 10th, 2025, at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee.

 

The event will be streamed LIVE on UFC FIGHT PASS® at 8:00pm CT / 9:00pm ET / 6:00pm PT. The main event will feature Isaac Thomson (8-2), one of Australia’s top featherweight prospects, taking on Uzbekistan’s dangerous finisher Akbarjon Islomboev (10-1) in a bout with major divisional implications.

 

Thomson is a battle-tested LFA veteran who trains out of Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, California. Originally from Sydney, Australia, he’s a dynamic striker with a deep amateur background and a professional resume that’s put him on the radar of UFC scouts worldwide. After several dominant performances, he now steps into his first LFA main event, looking to leave no doubt that he’s ready for the next level.

 

Islomboev has compiled an impressive 10-1 record with victories across multiple international promotions. Known for his composure and finishing instinct, Islomboev enters his U.S. debut on the heels of a standout performance that turned heads across the featherweight landscape. A win over Thomson would catapult him directly into title contention.

 

“This is a huge international matchup between two incredibly promising featherweights,” stated Soares. “Both guys are on the short list for a UFC call, and the winner will be right there in the LFA title picture. We’re excited to debut in Tennessee and have also included bouts with over a dozen of the State’s top upcoming talent. Clarksville is in for a great night of fights.”
