We are proud to welcome Derek Benoit to the LCA team. Competing in the light heavyweight division, Derek holds an impressive professional record of 5–2. Based out of St. Cloud, Minnesota, he trains under the guidance of Coach Brock Larson at START BJJ. Derek recently secured a first-round victory via arm triangle choke at Throne MMA on May 10. With a swift return to action, he is scheduled to compete again at Throne MMA 12 on June 21 in Minnesota. We are excited to have Derek join our team and encourage everyone to keep an eye on this promising athlete as he continues to make his mark in the sport.
