Legacy Fighting Alliance touched down at the Horseshoe Hammond Casino in Hammond, Indiana on Friday night, with LFA 153 topped by a featherweight showdown.
At least, it would have been a featherweight showdown. However, due to Chepe Mariscal weighing 150 pounds for the 145 pound affair, that fight had been shifted to a catchweight. Mariscal was also forced to cough up a portion of his purse, making it a costly flub at the scales.
The co-main event, meanwhile, was scrapped altogether when Askar Askar was forced out of his fight with Matheus Silva the morning of weigh-ins. The withdrawal left LFA 153 with eight fights, including a five-bout main card that would air on UFC Fight Pass.
Also in action on Friday, Alandria Brown, a training partner of Kay Hansen, was paired up with Rachel Martinez.
LFA 153 goes down Friday, February 17, 2023 at the Horseshoe Hammond Casino in Hammond, IN. The main card airs live on UFC Fight Pass, full results from the event can be found below.
