Legacy Fighting Alliance returns to Shawnee, Oklahoma on Friday night for LFA 152: Valente vs. Bekoev.
The main event of Friday’s card sees Brazil’s Renato Valente, an LFA regular who has also competed for Bellator MMA, paired up with debuting Russian Azamat Bekoev. Entering his prime at age 27, Bekoev had been competing for the likes of ACB, ACA, and Oktagon MMA, and had a win over Bellator vet Chris “The Cutt” Honeycutt.
The co-main event saw another Bellator alum return to action, with Manny Muro facing William Starks. Muro, who wrapped up a four-fight stint with Bellator earlier this year, badly blew weight for the 160lb catchweight bout, tipping the scales at 165.6lbs. He’ll be coughing up a percentage of his purse as a result.
LFA 152 goes down live on Friday, February 10, 2023 at the Grand Casino Hotel & Resort in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The main card airs live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 9PM ET; full results from the event can be found below.
