On Saturday, July. 26, Legacy Fighting Alliance hosted LFA 212 live from Tachi Palace Casino Resort in Lemoor, California. The event featured a lightweight main event featuring Chris Gonzalez vs. Jacob Rosale. This was the third choice for a main event.
This event was initially planned to feature Chris Mecate vs. Erick Viconde in the main event. Mecate pulled out in the week, due to injury. That meant that Rafael do Nascimento vs. Arnold Jimenez was elevated to the main event slot. However, that fight fell apart on fight day when Jimenez pulled out due to illness.
Gonzalez won the eventual main event after a thrilling fight with Rosales. These two went back and forth on the feet, and in grappling scrambles, with Rosales landing more strikes. But, Gonzalez landed the heavier shots late on.
Also at this event, lanky lightweight Loai Abushaar blew away Edmund Kwan with a knee in the first round, and Cedric Manhoef, a cousin of legend Melvin Manhoef, suffered a face plant knockout at the hands of Noah Bey.
The event aired live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 8:30 p.m. ET. Check below for full results.
