A new women’s flyweight champion will be crowned when Sabina Mazo squares off with Silvana Gomez Juarez in the Legacy Fighting Alliance 35 headliner.

The promotion recently announced the bout. LFA 35 takes place at the Arena Theater in Houston on March 9 and will air on AXS-TV at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. In the co-main event, former World Series of Fighting talent Nick Newell will face Sonny Luque in a 160-pound catchweight scrap.

The 20-year-old Mazo made a splash in 2017, earning first-round head-kick knockouts of Jamie Thorton and Linsey Williams in her first two LFA appearances. The Medellin, Colombia, native is 4-0 as a professional overall.

Juarez, meanwhile, will enter her promotional debut with a 6-1 record. The Argentina native last competed on March 17, 2017, when she earned a first-round stoppage of Maria Vega at an event in her home country.

Newell, a congenital amputee who was born without a left hand, rose to prominence by winning four of his five appearances under the WSOF banner. His only career defeat in 14 outings came at the hands of current UFC star and former WSOF champ Justin Gaethje.

A native of Laredo, Texas, Luque enters the matchup with an 8-6 mark that includes one appearance with Bellator MMA.
