If you know anything about college football, you know the state of Nebraska loves its college football. From the years in the Big 8 to the Big 12, and now the Big Ten, the tradition of Husker football continues to be passed down. On Friday, a new wrinkle of that Cornhusker tradition has evolved.

Legacy Fighting Alliance kicked off its 2026 with a heavyweight title fight, and a new broadcast home. Having left a multi-year partnership with UFC Fight Pass, whose future seems increasingly uncertain, LFA had linked up with Vice TV. LFA 224 was their debut on the cable network, with a vacant heavyweight title on the line between Matt Adams and Arslan Bilalov in the card’s main event. That title was last held by Denzel Freeman, who vacated it when he jumped to the UFC last September. A welterweight clash between Josiah Harrell and Bekmyrza Dosmatov served as the night’s co-headliner. Where to Watch LFA 224 Legacy Fighting Alliance sets up shop at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota for LFA 224 on January 16, 2026. The main card airs live on Vice TV starting at 9PM ET, 6PM PT following online and dark prelims. Full results from the night’s proceedings can be found below.
