With just over a week out, LFA 9 has a new main event.
The promotion announced today that former Legacy FC light heavyweight champion Myron Dennis will now take on Danilo Marques in the headliner after Ryan Spann withdrew from the bout. LFA did not announce why Spann pulled out.
LFA 9 takes place April 14 at FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with card being televised on AXS TV.
Marques (7-1) will be making his international debut on short notice. Marques, a teammate of UFC star Demian Maia, spent time in 2016 training with Mauricio Rua in Southern California and has been waiting for an opportunity to fight in the United States. Marques is coming off a rear-naked choke submission win over Lorival Lourenco Jr. on Feb. 24.
Dennis (12-6) competed last year on “The Ultimate Fighter 23” and was part of UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk’s team. He’ll enter the LFA 9 main event coming off a submission loss to Evan Nedd via rear-naked choke last October.
