Legacy Fighting Championship has made a few changes to its May 31 card, including the addition of a new co-headliner.
Legacy FC 20 takes place at American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, and the main card airs live on AXS TV.
Although initially expected to fight WEC veteran Antonio Banuelos (10-9-1), flyweight prospect Jimmy Flick (6-1) instead will meet Brazilian vet Rodrigo Lima (10-1), officials confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Additionally, former UFC and WEC fighter Damacio Page (15-8) has signed a multi-fight deal with the promotion and is likely to make his Legacy FC debut at the May 31 event.
Flick fights for the time since a title loss to Will Campuzano in December, where he suffered a second-round TKO loss in the title fight. Before that, the 22-year-old had won his first six pro bouts, four via submission. He takes on Lima, who began his career 10-0 before an April 2012 loss to Hiroshi Nakamura in the opening round of Bellator's Season 6 bantamweight tournament.
Page, meanwhile, looks to get back in the win column following a four-fight skid with the UFC and WEC. Although he went 3-2 in the WEC with quality wins over Scott Jorgensen, Marcos Galvao and Campuzano, the New Mexico-based fighter stumbled in the UFC with three straight submission losses.
