Legacy Fighting Alliance returned to the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Friday night for LFA 128 — featuring a legendary name in the main event.
Atop the card, Lucas Clay was set against Aaron McKenzie for the promotion’s vacant lightweight title. The name Clay is iconic in combat sports for good reason, as boxing great Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay Jr. in 1942.
Lucas Clay, a distant relation, actually utilizes “Cassius” as his nickname, but in his own combat sports career, he’s best known for the “Claymore” choke — a take on the rarely seen buggy choke, which Clay has successfully used twice.
Aaron McKenzie, meanwhile, had three straight wins inside the LFA cage heading into the event — and was no doubt keen to take out a rising prospect like Clay. Not to mention winning a title.
Full results from LFA 128, which takes place Friday, April 8, 2022 can be found below. The card airs live on UFC Fight Pass.
