LFA 68, which airs live on AXS TV on Friday, May 31, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, also features a welterweight scrap between Bobby Lee (170) and Maicon Mendonca (170). At light heavyweight, former Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA veteran Mike Rhodes (206) returns to the cage to fight Cristhian Torres (206). In the lightweight division, Leville Simpson (155.6) collides with Lucas Clay (**). Opening up the main card will be a middleweight showdown between Joel Bauman (184.8) and Bobby Downs (183).
