Leonard Garcia will square off with Daniel Pineda in the Legacy Fighting Championship 37 headliner on Nov. 14.

Legacy promoter Mick Maynard announced the featherweight bout on Tuesday evening. Legacy FC 37 takes place at the Arena Theater in Houston, Texas. No other fights have been revealed for the event.

Garcia recently had a three-fight winning streak halted when he was submitted by Damon Jackson in a 145-pound title bout at Legacy FC 33 on July 18. Before he signed with the Texas-based promotion, “Bad Boy” had lost five consecutive fights inside the Octagon.

Another former Legacy featherweight ruler, Pineda exited the UFC on the heels of back-to-back losses to Diego Brandao and Robert Whiteford. The Houston native was 3-4 in the promotion overall, posting victories over Pat Schilling, Mackens Semerzier and Justin Lawrence.
