The Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company based in Houston, Texas. It was created as a result of the Legacy Fighting Championship and Resurrection Fighting Alliance merger in 2016.

History[edit]

Resurrection Fighting Alliance[edit]

On October 11, 2012, officials for the Pompano Beach, Florida based MMA promotion Titan Fighting Championships (Titan FC) were acquired by the Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA), along with certain fighter contracts, as well as the organization's television deal with what is now AXS TV.[1] The goal was to combine the talent of both organizations under one umbrella, the RFA. Titan FC owner and president Joe Kelly was brought in as the vice president of the newly merged company; and seasoned MMA manager and Black House gym owner, Ed Soares, acted as president.[2] Original Titan founder Joe Kelly bought back the organization (Titan FC) in 2013 and produced two more shows on his own: Titan FC 25: Lashley vs. Asplund in June, and Titan FC 26: Hallman vs. Hornbuckle in August, both of which were aired live on AXS TV.[3]

On November 2, 2012, RFA had its first show aired on AXS TV with Resurrection Fighting Alliance 4: Griffin vs. Escudero.[4]

Promotions[edit]

Legacy FC and Resurrection FA agreed to a co-promoted live event on May 8 that featured bouts with fighters from one organization battling the other. The event took place on May 8 and as part of the AXS TV FIGHTS franchise. The event was labeled AXS TV FIGHTS: RFA VS. Legacy Superfight. The main event featured a title bout as the Legacy FC and RFA flyweight champions fought for the AXS TV Super Fight title. In addition two Legacy FC fighters competed to crown a new lightweight champion, and the RFA bantamweight champion defended his title against a top RFA contender.[13][14]

Merger[edit]

In September 2016 it was announced that Legacy FC & RFA would merge to create a new Legacy Fighting Alliance promotion.[15] LFA had its first event on January 13, 2017, with Legacy FC and RFA bantamweight titles unification as the main fight.[16]

Broadcasting[edit]

After about two and a half years of broadcasting Legacy Fighting Alliance, AXS TV was by owner Mark Cuban sold to Anthem Sports. Anthem disbanded the AXS TV Fights division. At UFC 244 it was announced UFC Fight Pass secured an exclusive on LFA broadcasts.[17] On November 8, 2021, it was announced that the broadcasting deal with the UFC was renewed to last through 2025.[18]
