Legacy Fighting Alliance was in action on Friday, April 14, 2023 with LFA 156 emanating from the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
In the evening’s main event, the vacant LFA welterweight championship was up for grabs between two top 170lb contenders in Jalin Fuller and Trey Waters. Waters had started his career undefeated, posting a 6-0 record prior to running into Gabriel Bonfim on Dana White’s Contender Series last year. Fuller, for his part, was 6-2 under the LFA banner and 7-2 overall coming into the night.
Two fighters missed weight for Friday night’s card, as Richie Lewis was 0.6lbs over the lightweight limit, and Antoine Tureaud an equal amount over the featherweight limit.
