The Arena Theatre in Houston, Texas was the host of Friday nights Legacy Fighting Championship 14 event, which aired live on AXS TV.
The event was highlighted by a welterweight interim title match between Jeff Rexroad and Lucas Pimenta, as well as a flyweight bout between veteran Antonio Banuelos and Josh Sampo.
Rexroad managed to survive a beating in the first round from Pimenta who looked as if he could stop things with his fists. Pimenta tagged Rexroad with a big right but was unable to end things as his opponent managed to recover. In the second round, following an easy takedown by Pimenta, Rexroad was able to work a submission, attempting a gogoplata and switching it into modified arm-triangle choke to end the bout claiming the interim title.
Rexroad on his win and a likely unification bout with champion Jorge Patino.
“This is a choke that I’ve been working. Don’t really have a name for it, but you kind of use the arm instead of the leg….Unfortunately (Jorge Patino) got injured. I was looking forward to the fight. When he gets healthy, I’d be honored to fight him.”
