Inaugural Flyweight Champion to be Crowned at LFA 14 on June 23

Legacy Fighting Alliance will crown its inaugural flyweight champion at LFA 14 on June 23 when Jerome Rivera takes on Roberto Sanchez.

A native of Santa Fe, N.M., Rivera opened his pro MMA career with four consecutive submission wins. “The Renegade” eventually found his way into the LFA cage, where he toppled Zac Riley via unanimous nod in his promotional debut at LFA 10 in April. At 6-0, the Luttrell-Yee MMA product is stoked for what will be the biggest fight of his still-blossoming career.

“I am so humbled by the opportunity in front of me,” said Rivera.
