— AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) July 13, 2019Despite several shake-ups to the main card after Junior Marques was denied entry into the United States, Legacy Fighting Alliance delivered a decision-filled event and crowned a new champion in Atlanta.
The main event of LFA 71 was a welterweight title clash between Jason Jackson and Hemerson de Souza. The first round was largely spent against the cage as Jackson (10-3) eventually took the Brazilian down but was unable to mount any significant offense.
