On Friday, Feb. 21, Legacy Fighting Championship visited the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas for its 28th event. The main card aired live on AXS TV.

In the night’s main event, the promotion’s middleweight title was on the line as William “Bubba” Bush clashed with Rakim Cleveland. Bush entered the contest riding a two-fight winning streak that included stoppage wins over Larry Crowe at Legacy 21 in July and Jon Kirk at Legacy 15. Cleveland, meanwhile, stepped into the Legacy cage for the first time. The Texan carried a lengthy, seven-fight path of destruction into the title fight.

The night’s co-main event featured a battle of highly touted prospects as undefeated Bellator veteran Damon Jackson looked to extend his record to 8-0 against Jackson’s MMA product Hunter Tucker.

Also on the main card, lightweight striking specialist Cosmo Alexandre faced off with Rey Trujillo, UFC veteran Damacio Page locked horns with Matthew Lozano at bantamweight, Nelson Salas met Eli Tamez, also at 135 pounds, and Allen Nelson took on Evan Thompson in a middleweight match-up.

The 13-fight event kicked off with seven, un-aired preliminary card bouts. The night’s six-fight main card was shown live on AXS TV beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
