MMA’S most controversial league is back with a bang!
The popular Lingerie Fighting Championships has announced it will return next month with its own special brand of half-naked slug-fests.
The LFC is the only exclusively female MMA promotion that sees fighters grapple in sultry lingerie inside the cage.
It will now look to raise the bra on Tuesday, August 11 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.
To combat the potential risk of infection fighters will social distance in a separate hotel and arrive to the cage on motorcycles.
LFC CEO Shaun Donnelly said: “We are extremely excited to be taking part in such an iconic event.
“It’s long been a goal of mine to do an event at an outdoor festival, and The Rally attracts hundreds of thousands of bike enthusiasts every year.
“We are working with our fighters to ensure the safest, most enjoyable experience possible.
“Everyone will be provided with commemorative LFC masks. And each fighter will be brought directly from the hotel to the dressing rooms and from there into the ring. But because it’s Sturgis they will make their entrances on the back of custom bikes!”
As far as like femininity and being a badass? LFC supports a wonderful group of strong women who keep getting stronger and keep getting sexier

Alongside wearing only bra and knickers, the LFC’s only other rule is no strikes to the face.
Buffalo Chip President Rod ‘Woody’ Woodruff said: “The Lingerie Fighting Championships is unique and entertaining, and this is the first time anything like this has ever been done at the Rally.
“There’s not a person out there that wouldn’t find gorgeous physically fit athletes fun to watch.”
Since its creation in Las Vegas in 2014 LFC has faced criticism for its lack of weight divisions that has seen smaller fighters overpowered by heavier opponents.

The scantily-clad attire has also understandably divided opinions but fans claim women can build a legitimate stepping stone to mainstream MMA.
Jolene Hexx told RT Sport in January: “Exploitation? As far as like femininity and being a badass? LFC supports a wonderful group of strong women who keep getting stronger and keep getting sexier.
“It’s good for the world. The world needs to get involved and watch more LFC.”
