Legacy Fighting Alliance is an American mixed martial arts promotion broadcast on AXS TV, result of Legacy Fighting Championship and Resurrection Fighting Alliance merger in 2017.
Legacy Fighting Championship and Resurrection Fighting Alliance agreed to a co-promoted live event on May 8 that featured bouts with fighters from one organization battling the other. The event took place on May 8 and aired on AXS TV as part of the AXS TV FIGHTS franchise. The event was labeled AXS TV FIGHTS: RFA VS. LEGACY SUPERFIGHT. The event featured a title for title bout as the Legacy FC and RFA flyweight champion fought for both belts. In addition two Legacy FC fighters competed to crown a new lightweight champion, and the RFA bantamweight champion defended his title against a top RFA contender.
In September 2016 it was announced that Legacy FC & RFA would merge to create a new Legacy Fighting Alliance promotion.
LFA had its first event on January 13, 2017, with Legacy FC and RFA bantamweight titles unification as main fight.
