Main Card
Main Event
Legacy FC Lightweight Division Fight
Josh “Quay†Quayhagen (7-3-0) vs. Anthony “The Assassin†Njokuani (16-10-0-1NC)
Quayhagen has only won just one of his last four fights, with that lone win coming over Thomas Webb at World Fighting Championships 12.

Quayhagen did win three of four fights while in Bellator MMA, most notably defeating Cosmo Alexandre at Bellator 52. Njokuani did win three of seven fights during his UFC run, rotating wins and losses throughout that run. Neither fighter will make it to the top of the lightweight rankings, buy Quayhagen will mistakenly engage Njokuani in strikes, which is where Njokuani gets the quick finish to return to his winning ways.
