Legacy Fighting Alliance returned to Brazil on Friday, with LFA 171 taking place in Sao Paulo just a day ahead of the UFC’s own trip there.
Headlining the show was a heavyweight title fight featuring prospects Eduardo Neves and Hugo Cunha, both of whom had their eye on the big leagues. Cunha had a brief, disappointing run with ONE Championship, going 0-1 in the company before returning to LFA and getting back in the win column earlier this year.
Neves was 0-2 on Dana White’s Contender Series, meanwhile, including an appearance on the 2023 edition of the show. He had captured LFA gold earlier this year, however, and remained the reigning champ.
In the co-main event, Brazilians Gabriel Costa and Jefferson Nascimento threw down for an interim lightweight title.
