Schnell Wins Interim Flyweight Gold, Webb Upsets UFC Vet Soriano at Legacy FC 52

Matt Schnell has his revenge — and the gold to go with it.

Schnell gave submission specialist Klayton Mai a taste of his own medicine in the Legacy Fighting Championship 52 headliner at the Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles, La., on Friday night, tapping his foe with an armbar 2:14 into the opening stanza to capture the promotion’s interim 125-pound strap.

With the win, the American Top Team product avenged a 2014 loss to Mai and set up a future title unification bout with reigning flyweight champion Damacio Page.
