On Friday, March 24, Legacy Fighting Alliance hosted its seventh event from the Arena Theatre in Houston.

In the night’s main event, unbeaten flyweight Roberto Sanchez took on Bellator veteran Klayton Mai. Both fighters were staples of Legacy Fighting Championship prior to its merger with Resurrection Fighting Alliance. Sanchez complied a perfect, 5-0 record with the promotion, while Mai split a pair of bouts with The Ultimate Fighter 24 combatant Matt Schnell. The headlining affair marked the LFA debut for each fighter.
