About Legacy Fighting Alliance

The future stars of mixed martial arts take on each other and the sport’s top contenders in the Legacy Fighting Alliance, the premier developmental circuit in MMA today. The Legacy Fighting Alliance features both up-and-coming fighters on their way to glory and veteran fighters who still have something to offer and something to prove. 

The LFA is one of the top developmental mixed martial arts promotions in the United States, aiming to be a major pipeline for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Legacy Fighting Alliance cards are held several times a month, focusing primarily on venues west of the Mississippi River but occasionally as far east as New Jersey and Virginia. The organization itself is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Legacy Fighting Alliance has the pedigree of two solid organizations and the backing of some of the most respected names in combat sports. Founded in 2016 through a merger between the Resurrection Fighting Alliance and the Legacy Fighting Championship (Legacy FC), the LFA hosts regular bouts on AXS TV. It continues a long and healthy relationship between the network and the two organizations that merged to form the LFA. 

The Legacy Fighting Alliance is led by CEO Ed Soares, best known for managing fighters like former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. Prior to the formation of the Legacy Fighting Alliance, Soares was also the public face of the Resurrection Fighting Alliance.

The Legacy Fighting Alliance consists of eight men’s and two women’s weight divisions, with women and men both competing in bantamweight and flyweight classes. Belts are also held for heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, and featherweight divisions.
