Legacy Fighting Alliance
CEO Ed Soares has announced a
significant update for the upcoming
LFA
176 event set to electrify the Grand Canyon State on Super Bowl
weekend. The promotion’s 14th venture into Arizona will feature a
featherweight championship headliner this Friday at the Arizona
Financial Theatre in Phoenix.
In this thrilling main event, top contender
Elijah
Johns is set to collide with fellow LFA standout
Alfred
Walker in a quest for the company’s featherweight title.
Originally scheduled to face
Javier
Garcia in a rematch for the belt, Johns now shifts his focus to
Walker after Garcia vacated the championship with aspirations of
participating in the next season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
The new main event promises an exciting showdown, with Walker
entering the bout fresh off a career-defining victory against
Landry
Ward at
LFA
169. Ahead of this clash, we take a look at the statistics
associated with the skills these two athletes bring to the
cage:

KO/TKO, emphasizing his striking prowess.
