Legacy Fighting Alliance

On October 11, 2012, officials for the Pompano Beach, Florida based MMA promotion Titan Fighting Championships (Titan FC) were acquired by the Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA), along with certain fighter contracts, as well as the organization's television deal with what is now AXS TV.[1] The goal was to combine the talent of both organizations under one umbrella, the RFA. Titan FC owner and president Joe Kelly was brought in as the vice president of the newly merged company; and seasoned MMA manager and Black House gym owner, Ed Soares, acted as president.[2] Original Titan founder Joe Kelly bought back the organization (Titan FC) in 2013 and produced two more shows on his own: Titan FC 25: Lashley vs. Asplund in June, and Titan FC 26: Hallman vs. Hornbuckle in August, both of which were aired live on AXS TV.[3]

On November 2, 2012, RFA had its first show aired on AXS TV with Resurrection Fighting Alliance 4: Griffin vs. Escudero.[4]

The Legacy Fighting Championship (Legacy FC) was an American mixed martial arts promotion based in Houston, Texas, United States. The promotion has held events in: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Allen,[5] Tulsa, and Duluth. Notable fighters that have fought for LFC include Carlos Diego Ferreira, Leonard Garcia, Jonathan Brookins, Daniel Pineda, Anthony Njokuani, Paul Buentello, James McSweeney, Jay Hieron, Evangelista Santos, Ray Borg, Tim Means, Henry Briones, Thomas Almeida, Derrick Lewis, Sage Northcutt, Holly Holm and Valentina Shevchenko.[6] Its live events and competitions have been broadcast on AXS TV in the United States and Esporte Interativo in Brazil.

On July 22, 2011, Legacy FC had its first show aired on HDNet with Legacy Fighting Championship 7: Dollar vs. Prater. The organization agreed to a second extension to take them through 2016 with newly branded AXS TV.[7]
