Jeff Rexroad survived a beating from Lucas Pimenta and now has a little hardware to show for it.
Rexroad took plenty of punishment from Pimenta in the first round, and the Brazilian appeared to be close to getting a stoppage. But Rexroad rallied to submit the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with a slick second-round arm-in triangle choke to win the interim welterweight title at Legacy FC 14.
Legacy FC 14 took place Friday at Houston’s Arena Theater with a main card airing on AXS TV.
