Legacy Fighting Championship is now promoting kickboxing cards, and a UFC veteran is scheduled to compete inside the ring.
Pat Barry, who returned to the kickboxing earlier this year for the first time since 2007, has agreed to take on Demoreo Dennis on Jan. 16. The card takes place at Bayou Music Center in Houston, and airs live on AXS TV.
“We came to a verbal agreement with Pat Barry to fight for us on the Jan. 16th Legacy Kickboxing event,” Legacy FC promoter Mick Maynard told MMAFighting.com. “Pat is still on the Glory roster, but they were kind enough to let us have him on this card.”
Barry, who ended his MMA career with an 8-7 record, currently holds a 13-6-1 professional kickboxing record. Demoreo Dennis’ kickboxing record stands at 9-3, while 4-3 in MMA.
The first Legacy Kickboxing card also features Cosmo Alexandre (42-15) vs. Regian Eersel (26-2), Michael Corley (18-11) vs. Marco Pique (60-38) and Valentina Schevchenko (51-1) vs. Lindsay Haycraft (2512).
“We will be offering finish bonuses in Legacy Kickboxing, just like we do for Legacy Fighting Championship,” Maynard added.
