After a one-off, co-promoted event between great AXS TC promotions RFA and Legacy Fights in May of 2015, fans were told that they could expect more ‘AXS TV: RFA vs. LEGACY’ super fight cards in the future. Well, for more than a year none were announced.
But in September 2016, MMA fans received big news that the promotions would permanently merge. Ressurection Fighting Alliance and Legacy Fighting Championship would be no more. Legacy Fighting Alliance was then born, with their debut show taking place on January 13, 2017.
