Main-Event
Twenty-four year old Fight Club Bahia representative, Lucas Pimenta, has posted eight consecutive wins with six of those coming by way of stoppage. Fighting seven times since April of 2011, Pimenta has won under the Bellator FC banner and also captured the UWF: Tournament of Warriors championship, defeating Shamar Bailey, Mitch Whitesel, and John Malbrough most recently in June of this year.
Paradigm Training Center product, Jeff “The Executioner” Rexroad, is riding a four fight winning streak – all under the Legacy FC banner – heading into this weekend’s contest, but is yet to compete in 2012 with each of his LFC victories coming in 2011. Rexroad most recently defeated Larry Crowe at LFC 9 via arm-bar submission in December of last year, and also owns a victory over John Malbrough, the only common opponent he and Pimenta share.
