LFA RETURNS TO PHOENIX IN MARCH

 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (January 23, 2026) – LFA President Sven Bean announced today that the LFA has entered into a special engagement agreement in the Phoenix metro area with Gila River Resort and Casino – Wild Horse Pass in the month of March 2026.

“We will once again bring the LFA Octagon to the stage inside The Showroom at Wild Horse Pass on Friday, March 13th. The unique setting allows us to offer our fans a very up close and personal experience. Here they can truly be part of the action. The venue, casino, and beautiful hotel all bring a Las Vegas feel to the event. I’m happy that they have chosen the LFA as a feature event for their ‘Vegas Residency’ series of entertainment. We have enjoyed a history of sold out shows at Wild Horse Pass, and I’m looking forward to returning to this state of the art venue, another sell out crowd, and an exciting night of MMA action in March!”

Gila River Corporate Director of Entertainment Anastasia Palmer Johnson added:

  “We’re thrilled to welcome Legacy Fighting Alliance back to The Showroom at Wild Horse Pass, where their unmatched professionalism and elite-level production continue to set the gold standard in MMA. It’s a perfect alignment with Gila River Resorts & Casinos and our newly launched Vegas Residency—a bold entertainment series bringing the energy, excellence, and prestige of Las Vegas to the Phoenix area across all four properties through April 30. Just as the Vegas Residency showcases the highest caliber of entertainment, LFA stands as an elite organization in the fight business, making this partnership a powerful and exciting return.”
