LEGACY FC 19 INCLUDES CAMPUZANO-NASCIMENTO TITLE FIGHT, ASSUNCAO, BULL LAWAL...

The fight card is coming together for April's Legacy FC 19 event, which features a headliner between recently crowned flyweight champion Will Campuzano (11-4) and undefeated Alan Nascimento (7-0), promoter Mick Maynard told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

The event takes place April 12 at Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas, and the main card airs on AXS TV.

The untelevised preliminary card includes the brothers of two notables. Bull Lawal (0-0) – Bellator fighter "King" Mo Lawal's brother – makes his pro debut against fellow middleweight Jabari Shakur (1-2). Additionally, Evan Thompson (1-0) – UFC fighter Stephen Thompson's brother – meets fellow middleweight Angelus McFarlane (0-0).

Campuzano, though, is one of the most established names on the card. The UFC and WEC vet won the Legacy title with a recent TKO victory over Jimmy Flick. He puts his three-fight win streak on the line against Nascimento, a 21-year-old Brazilian who's submitted six of his seven opponents (and knocked out the other) since turning pro in late 2011.

In the co-headliner, featherweight Junior Assuncao (13-5) fights for the first time since a surprising UFC release. After winning seven straight fights, including a UFC 135 bout with Eddie Yagin, Assuncao received his walking papers in late 2011 after a decision loss to Ross Pearson. He returns from a 16-month layoff to fight promotional newcomer Chris Jones (7-1), who recently topped Steven Peterson at Bellator 62 for his sixth consecutive win.

Other main-card bouts include bantamweights Matt Hobar (6-1) vs. Nelson Salas (4-0) in a title eliminator, as well as welterweights Sean Spencer (10-1) vs. Roy Spoon (7-5). Bantamweights Ryan Benoit (6-1) and Eli Tamez (5-0) also will compete on the main card, though their opponents haven't been finalized.
