The Legacy Fighting Alliance crowned a new flyweight champion at LFA 86.
Jimmy Flick (14-5) needed just seconds to win LFA gold. Flick immediately took Greg Fischer (10-2) down and locked in an arm triangle that forced his foe to tap out just 38 seconds into the fight.

Fabio Chenant (5-1) badly missed weight coming in nine pounds over for what would've been a light heavyweight bout against Erick Murray (5-4). Despite coming in overweight, Chenant dominated Murray by locking in an anaconda choke in just 57 seconds.
Mando Gutierrez (4-0) made quick work of Jeff Jepsen (5-3) in their bantamweight bout. The undefeated prospect took the fight to the ground and locked up a rear-naked choke that ended the bout just 1:57 after it started.
The offensive firepower of former Ohio State wrestler Mark Martin (4-1) was too much for Tony Grant (1-2). The welterweight prospect was able to drop Grant while on the feet and followed up with some great ground and pound that forced the ref to step in at 3:52 of Round 1.
The UFC Fight Pass main card opened with a heavyweight bout between Jacob Heavlin and Jordan Heiderman. The two big men battled on the feet over three hard-fought rounds. The judges favored the output of Heiderman (2-0), who took a split decision over Heavlin (1-1, 1 NC) with scores of 29-28, 28-29, and 30-27.
In unaired preliminary action, Calvin Harbaugh (2-1) tapped out Nate Morrow (2-1) after applying a heel hook at 2:33 of the first round.
