With Legacy FC welterweight champion Jorge Patino sidelined with a knee injury, the promotion is giving another pair of fighters a shot at gold.
Lucas Pimenta, from Brazil, meets Jeff Rexroad at Legacy FC 14, which takes place Friday at Houston’s Arena Theater. The main card airs on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).
Christian Stein caught up with Pimenta to talk about his interim title shot and his future in the sport.
