Legacy Fighting Alliance has confirmed two vacant-title fights for LFA 248 on December 18 at the Pearl Theater inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, according to the promotion's own announcement.
In the main event, Davi Costa, full name Davi Bittencourt Costa, fights Mason Hartshorn for the vacant flyweight title. Costa enters at 17-4 and is based in Las Vegas, while Hartshorn is 8-2.
The co-main event is a vacant light heavyweight title fight between Shealor Ladd, who is 5-1 and most recently won by first-round submission at LFA 245 in October, and Wildemar Santos, who is 15-6, according to MiddleEasy, which independently reported both title pairings and billed the card as a rare two-title event for the regional promotion.
LFA CEO Ed Soares framed the card around the venue's track record, noting in the promotion's announcement that fighters in each of its prior title bouts at the Pearl Theater have gone on to sign with the UFC. That history applies to past events and is not a guarantee for this card's winners.
The card airs in the United States on VICE TV and FloSports at 9 p.m. ET, with Spanish-language coverage on ESPN Deportes and, in Latin America, ESPN KnockOut on Disney+. Featured preliminary bouts stream on FloCombat.
