Will Campuzano Meets Steve Garcia for Vacant Flyweight Belt in Legacy FC 12 Headliner

LFC promoter Mick Maynard Tuesday revealed that UFC veteran Will Campuzano is set to rematch Steve Garcia for the Texas-based promotion’s vacant flyweight title. LFC 12 takes place July 13 at Houston’s Arena Theater and also features a welterweight confrontation between Jay Hieron and Mike Bronzoulis. The event airs live on HDNet.

A three-time WEC veteran, 25-year-old Campuzano earned a split decision over Garcia in their 2010 meeting. Following the win, Campuzano was invited to compete for the UFC, where he lost back-to-back bouts against Nick Pace and Chris Cariaso. Most recently, Campuzano fought on April 8, earning a first-round submission victory over Randy Hinds in just 2:18.

Garcia also enters the cage on the heels of a win. The Texan knocked out Cody Williams at LFC 9 on Dec. 16 and holds six of his nine career wins by knockout or submission. Garcia’s only other fight of 2011 saw him fall by guillotine choke to Steven Peterson at LFC 8 in September.
