AXS TV Fights has a long history of sending the best of the best from its promotions upward and onward to the UFC.
In fact, Saturday, at UFC on ESPN+ 4, 10 veterans of AXS TV Fights shows will be in action at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. The event streams on ESPN+.
At the top of that list is recent heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis (21-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC), who takes on former champion Junior Dos Santos (20-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC). Lewis fought three times for Legacy FC and once for RFA – and picked up knockout wins in all four of those fights.
And just before that, another AXS TV Fights vet, Curtis Millender (17-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC), meets Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (20-5 MMA, 6-1 UFC) in the welterweight co-main event. Millender went 3-0 for LFA just before signing with the UFC, including back-to-back head-kick knockouts.
