LFA to crown new welterweight champion with one-night tournament in Brazil

Legacy Fighting Alliance is heading to Brazil for its first international events on July 16 and 18 and the cards, stacked with local prospects, will also crown the company’s new welterweight champion with a one-night, four-man grand prix.

LFA 111 and LFA 112 will take place at the Upper Arena in Rio de Janeiro and air live on UFC Fight Pass.

Multiple sources confirmed to MMA Fighting that Brenner Alberth vs. Gabriel Bonfim and Carlos Leal vs. Diego Dias are set for the 170-pound tournament on July 18, and the winners will collide later that night for the vacant title.
