LFA 77 Results- Main Event Ends In Controversy

Legacy Fighting Alliance was back in the Land of 10,000 Lakes for LFA 77, at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The headliner was the finals of the LFA Heavyweight Tournament Daniel “The American Predator” James versus Brett “Big Dog” Martin for the vacant LFA Heavyweight Title, but unfortunately after issues with the scale Brett Martin will not be eligible to win the title after getting on the scale at 272.6, 6.6 lbs over the weight limit.

James is 2-0 in the LFA, scoring impressive knock outs of Calyn Hull & Patrick Martin; the later came in the LFA Heavyweight Tournament semifinals. Brett Martin advance to the finals by defeating Renan Ferrieira.  Tonight’s fight would end in controversy as the fight was stopped after illegal knees were thrown.

This was the 11^th time LFA has visited the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and the 12^th trip to The Gopher State.
