The main event of LFA 5 will feature an absolute barn-burner between two of the most revered lightweights in RFA and Legacy FC history. The hometown destroyer Marcus “Bad Intentions” Edwards will battle the scintillating Tennessean Adam “Prime Time” Townsend

Edwards (12-4) is one of only a handful of people walking the planet that has wins for both RFA and Legacy FC on their record. Most notably, “Bad Intentions” got his hand raised in the RFA 26 co-headliner and then again this past October when he won a short-notice fight at Legacy FC 60 via TKO in just 12 seconds.

Townsend (16-4) is one of the most beloved figures to hail from the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee. Last year, Townsend won a homecoming fight in Tennessee and then took his talents abroad to China, where he defeated five-time UFC vet Junior Assunção via TKO in just 49 seconds.
