Legacy Fighting Alliance crowned a new interim flyweight champion in the LFA 110 main event that pitted Yuma Horiuchi against Charles Johnson.
The action was fast-paced on the feet, with both fighters having success. Referee Kevin Nix inserted himself into the bout by deducting a point from Horiuchi for a low blow during Round 2. While Horiuchi (8-4) landed damaging leg kicks, Johnson (9-2) was able to find success with his hands. Johnson would come on strong in the championship rounds in order to eke out a split-decision victory with scores of 49-45, 46-48 and 48-46.

The night's second flyweight bout saw undefeated prospect Christian Natividad go up against Luis Aguirre. The striking of Natividad (4-0) looked as sharp as ever as he pieced up Aguirre (2-3) and dropped his opponent. However, Aguirre was game the entire bout and wasn't afraid to come forward while throwing his own offense. Ultimately, "Da Poi Pounda" was too much as he was awarded a unanimous decision victory with scores of 29-27, 29-27 and 29-26.
Jaqueline Amorim made quick work of fellow strawweight Megan Owen. Amorim (4-0) came out firing and dropped Owen (1-1) with a stiff right hand. After a few strikes on the ground, the fight was rightfully stopped after just 10 seconds.
Flyweights Arpan Gurung and Oscar Herrera kicked off the night's action. Both fighters were making their pro debuts, but it was "Moisturizer" that walked away with the victory. Herrera (1-0) was able to lock in a tight armbar at 3:17 of Round 2. Gurung drops to 0-1 with the loss.
