On Saturday, May 24, Legacy Fighting Alliance hosted LFA 209, live from the Malai Manso Resort in Cuiaba, Brazil. The event featured a flyweight battle in the main event with Bruno Henrique takings on Inglesson de Lara.
Henrique would be victories after an exciting and close fought fight. The three round main event went to the judges and Henrique skated by with a split decision. That extends Henrique’s winning streak to eight fights and improves his overall record to 19-4. The loss drops De Lara to 10-2.
In the co-main event Joseilton Santos blew away Argentinian Carlos Petruzzella with a first round KO (much to the delight of the partisan Brazilian crowd).
Other notable fights included former IMMAF champ Aieza Bertolso staying perfect as a pro when she submitted Samara Santos in the final round. Juan Pable Vieira stayed perfect, too, submitted Carlos Cavalcante with an armbar to move to 9-0. He then put on a T-shirt that essentially said, come and get me Dana White.
The event aired live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 9 p.m. ET. Check below for full results.
