On Friday, Sept. 11, Legacy Fighting Alliance hosted LFA 241 live from Mineirinho Arena in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In the main event, Rafael Pereira came out on top, knocking out Vinicius Pires in the second round. With that win, “Mini Man” also won the vacant LFA bantamweight title.
That title was on the shelf since former champ Artem Belakh, who won the title from Pires in 2025, vacated the title so he could compete on The Ultimate Fighter last year. Pereira has now won 11 fights in a row.
In the co-main event, Gustavo Pintos, the only non-Brazilian on the card, earned a split decision over Carlos Soares. Pintos, who is from Uruguay, is now 11-1. That one loss was his last fight, where he dropped a split decision to Erick Visconde in the main event of LFA 232.
Lower down the card, Adam Santos scored a brutal knee to finish Joao Vitor Pereira. That moved him up to 6-1. There were also finishes for Nicollas Santos, Lucas Silva and Thalyta Silva. Those three all remained undefeated because of that.
The event aired live on VICE TV beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Check below for the full results.
