The final
Legacy Fighting Alliance event of the year is upon us. Maycon
Mendonca will face Batsumberel
Dagvadorj for the promotion’s vacant welterweight title in the
main event of
LFA 96. The seven-fight card is now official after the
weigh-ins took place and there wasn’t much drama as only Mitzi Merry
missed weight.
Brazil’s Mendonca sports a 10-4 record and struggled early on in
his LFA career. Despite suffering three straight defeats, including
knockouts to Christian
Aguilera and Matthew
Frincu, Mendonca never lost his fighting spirit. His full
potential is finally coming out as he’s bounced back with a
four-fight win streak that includes a knockout of Devin Smyth
and a triangle choke submission victory over Kassius
Kayne. Mendonca had no issue making weight and came in at 169.8
pounds.
While Mendonca has faced considerable adversity in his career, the
same can’t be said for Dagvadorj (6-0, 1 NC). The undefeated
fighter has finished all of his opponents except Joaquin
Lopez, and was most recently seen in Bellator MMA submitting James Terry
with a bulldog choke. “The Mongolian Falcon” will look to make his
country proud as he looks to capture LFA gold. Dagvadorj officially
stepped on the scales at 168.6 pounds.
The LFA 96 main card will air live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 9
p.m. ET.
