Legacy Fighting Alliance will be returning to the “Valley of the Sun” the second weekend of July with a stacked night of fights topped by a high stakes welterweight matchup.
LFA 135 will be on Friday July 8th at the Arizona Federal Theater in Phoenix Arizona.
The The main event will see two time Mexican Olympic wrestler Alfonso “Sniper” Leyva against top Brazilian prospect Daniel “Dani Boy” Reis.
Leyva is highly decorated wrestler who represented Mexico in the summer games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and in Japan in 2020. Leyva is yet to see a third round in his MMA career racking up all five of his pro wins by knockout inside the first two rounds.
Reis accomplished the unthinkable ten-months into his professional career beating three opponents with much more experience in one night to win a CTA Combat tournament. “Dani Boy” comes into his LFA debut having secured his last three wins with submissions in the first round.
