LaRue Burley will square off against James Nakashima in the Legacy Fighting Alliance 11 co-main event.

The promotion recently announced the welterweight pairing. Additionally, three other bouts were confirmed for the May 5 card: Kyle Stewart vs. Maycon Mendonca; Bruno Silva vs. Casey Kenney and David Nuzzo vs. Sean O’Malley. LFA 11 takes place at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix and is headlined by a middleweight duel between Matthew Frincu and Daniel Madrid. The card will be televised on AXS-TV.

Burley is perhaps best known for upsetting Bubba Jenkins at Bellator 100 in September 2013.
