Middleweight Championship Bout Headlines LFA 84 in Phoenix on March 20

Daniel Madrid and Impa Kasanganay will vie for the vacant middleweight championship in the Legacy Fighting Alliance 84 headliner.

The promotion announced the bout on Tuesday. LFA 84 takes place at Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix on March 20 and airs on UFC Fight Pass at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Three other contests were announced for the event: Richard Palencia vs. Desmond Torres at bantamweight; Kevin Natividad vs. Kyle Estrada at bantamweight and Kamuela Kirk vs. Luke Faultersack at featherweight.

A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Madrid enters the matchup on a four-bout submission streak. Most recently, “Demigod” tapped Chris Harris with a rear-naked choke 51 seconds into their encounter at LFA 72 this past July. The 35-year-old owns a 17-6 career mark, with 15 of those triumphs coming via submission.

Kasanganay is coming off a decision win over Kailan Hill on Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series this past August. The 26-year-old native is 6-0 as a professional, a record that includes a victory against Devorious Tubbs under the LFA banner.
