The
Legacy Fighting Alliance returns to American soil for LFA
113 with a heavyweight title fight. All 14 fighters on the Saturday card officially made weight, and
the main event title tilt has been cleared. The seven-fight show
ends with a heavyweight championship affair, as unbeaten prospect
Thomas
Petersen vies for the vacant strap against Texas-based knockout
artist Vernon
Lewis.
Petersen comes into this headliner with a perfect 4-0 record, and
he has won all four by knockout. Only Odell
Pantin has lasted more than three minutes against him, while he
also celebrates a 19-second clobbering of Richard
Luis in January. The Minnesota fighter officially weighed in at
242 pounds.
With triple the amount of experience as his opponent, the
37-year-old Lewis (8-4) has won two straight fights, including a
majority decision over Tra’von
Butler and a first-round knockout of Austen
Lane. Lewis will look to end the main event early, and stepped
on the scale weighing 264.8 pounds.
The LFA 113 main card will air live on UFC Fight Pass at 9 p.m.
ET/6 p.m. PT. The lone preliminary bout will stream on the
promotion’s Facebook page.
