A pair
of Title fights headline Legacy Fighting
Alliance’s fourth event since the merger of Legacy FC and Resurrection
Fighting Alliance on February 17th at the Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel and Casino, Bossier City, LA. In the
Featherweight Division two former LFC Champions
battle for the strap when 11-1 Kevin Aguilar faces 11-1-1-1 Damon Jackson. In
the Women’s Flyweight Division, Andrea KGB
Lee takes on Heather Hand Guns Bassett
for the inaugural 125lbs Belt.
Twenty-eight
year old, Kevin The Angel of Death
Aguilar has won his last three bouts, most recent, a Split Decision at LFC 57 (7/1/16) over Tony Kelley to
become the promotion’s final Featherweight Champion. Aguilar’s last six fights
were under the LFC banner, including
his only career loss, a First Round (2:57) TKO by former UFC star, Leonard Garcia at LFC
26 (12/6/13). Aguilar rebounded with a Third Round (3:13) TKO of Alex Black
at LFC 39 and a Second Round (2:04) TKO
win over David Bosnick at LFC 49
(12/4/15). Fighting out of Longview, Texas The
Angel of Death has finished nine of his eleven wins (7 KO/TKO).
Originally
the former RFA Featherweight Champ,
Raoni Barcelos was scheduled to face Aguilar, but a Barcelos injury caused LFA to find another opponent. They
called up another LFC FW Champion, Damon The
Leech Jackson. Jackson won the belt with a First Round Arm-Triangle Submission of Leonard Garcia at LFC 33 (7/18/14). Jackson never defended his belt, following the
Title win, he received the call up to the UFC
for three fights (the only career blemishes to date) one loss, one draw, and
one No Contest. Jackson returned to Legacy
FC last October at LFC 61 earning
a Unanimous Decision victory over Levi Mowles. Jackson competed at LFA 1 earlier this year, Submitting
Charles Cheeks III in the Second Round (1:24) by Rear-Naked-Choke. The Leach has
a tendency to stick to his opponents, forcing the Tap, he has eight submission
finishes. An All-American Wrestler at Missouri Valley College, Jackson went 5-0
in Legacy FC with four wins by Submission.
Shreveport’s
Andrea KGB Lee comes into this Title
fight fresh from a KO win at Invicta FC
21. A Body-Shot just 1:14 into
the contest sent Jenny Liou to the canvas and gave Lee her fourth stoppage win,
second by KO/TKO. Twenty-eight year old, Lee fought for Legacy FC at LFC 49 (12/4/15)
stopping Ariel Beck with a Third Round (4:22) Arm-bar. Despite only seven Pro MMA bouts, KGB is an experienced fighter. Besides her amateur MMA record of
9-3, Lee also has over sixty amateur Muay Thai fights and USA Boxing matches
under her belt.
4-2 with four finishes (2TKO/KO, 2 Sub) Heather Hand Guns Bassett is building a
reputation in the Flyweight Division. Bassett has gone undefeated in King of the Cage (4-0), last February at
KOTC Frozen War, Hand Guns let those hands go, stopping Shaena Cox in the Second
Round by TKO (0:43). Prior to that, Heather displayed her Submission game at KOTC Bear Brawl (11/21/15) forcing
Taylor Turner to tap 1:39 into the opening round to Rear-Naked-Choke.
Finishers
of a combined thirty-two fights collide when 18-9 Derrick Krantz faces 14-6
Hayward Charles. The two combatants have finished each of their respective wins
before the final horn. Derrick D-Rock
Krantz has eleven wins by Submission and seven more by KO/TKO. D-Rock went 7-3 in Legacy FC and has won four of his last five. At LFC 57 (7/1/16) Krantz halted Dave
Burrow by Rear-Naked-Choke in the
First Round (4:22). He also stopped Brock Larson by Knock Out in the Third
Round of their LFC 43 contest.
Hayward
The Hybrid Charles has Submitted his
last four opponents, he has collected thirteen over his career. The Hybrid’s last bout was nearly
seventeen months ago, with Hero FC
promotion (fought his last 3 there in 2015). 9/26/15 the tap came 3:27 in the
Second Round, three months earlier he secured one of his patented Arm-Bars just 1:03 into the fight, and
in January won by Arm-Triangle 1:05
into the opening frame. Charles fights out of Fort Worth, Texas and went 1-1 in
Legacy FC (the win, an Arm-Bar of course).
