LFA 40 takes place at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas on Friday (May 25, 2018) at 9pm ET live on AXS TV. Featherweight champion Kevin Aguilar looks to unifty his title against interim champion Thanh Le in the main event.
Aguilar (13-1) captured the LFA featherweight title in Feb. 2017 after knocking out UFC veteran Damon Jackson at LFA 4. He followed that up with a unanimous decision victory over Justin Rader at LFA 18 in August, however a thumb injury has kept him sidlined since. The 29-year-old is currently riding a five-fight win streak. Le (8-1) has won eight-straight fights, including a TKO win over Bobby Moffett at LFA 31 where he captured the interim title. During his winning streak, Le has finished all of his opponents however he did lose via submission to Martin Svensson on TUF 22 in an exhibition bout. The 32-year-old has yet to see the judges scorecards in his career.
