Matt "Danger" Schnell has an opponent for his pro debut.

The fighter, who's perhaps best known for his stint on MTV's "Caged" docu-drama series, will take on fellow newcomer Ryan Hollis in a flyweight bout at Legacy Fighting Championship 14, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed with promoter Mick Maynard.

The event airs Sept. 14 on HDNet from Houston's Arena Theater.

Schnell vs. Hollis will be part of the night's main-card broadcast.

Legacy FC officials recently announced the signing of Schnell to a pro contract.

Schnell, who recently signed with First Round Management (a firm that also represents UFC champions Jon Jones, Carlos Condit and Benson Henderson, among others), was the breakout star of the "Caged" series, which followed Louisiana's amateur-MMA scene. While posting a 10-2 amateur record, Schnell got a bit of a boost when UFC veteran and recent headliner Dustin Poirier raved about him following a training session together.

He now takes on the Texas-based Hollis, a 23-year-old who's posted a 4-1 amateur record in sanctioned bouts ahead of his pro debut. The past three wins have come via stoppage, including a Cage Combat title win over James DeHerrera this past month. Many of the Hard Head Hitters team member's other fights came in Legacy's amateur series.

Anyone watch the event over the weekend? Main event didn't happen, I think it was Robichaux that had a problem cutting weight and they said something about his liver. So fight was moved to the next event. I want to see Drysdale get a step up in competition. Looks like he will stay with Legacy awhile, alot of the fighters had good things to say about the organization.
The Hieron finish was BS. I don't know what the ref was thinking. Hieron had a choke and told the ref that the guy was out. But then the ref checked to see if the fighter went limp. He did not, he in fact gave a thumbs up. But the ref stopped it anyways? Horrible reffing.

I watched. The Heiron call was bad.

IMO, when a guy wins like that, anything other than saying, "let's do this again and let's do this right" is some lameness.

Silva was looking decent against Jay and gave a hard to miss thumbs up when the ref grabbed his hand to check if he was conscious.

Can't you get DQ'd for telling the ref someone is out when they clearly aren't?

A solid lineup, including an eight-fight main card, is set for next month's Legacy Fighting Championship 14 event.

The card includes a welterweight title fight between welterweight champion Jorge "Macaco" Patino (27-13-1) and challenger Jeff Rexroad (5-1).

Additionally, NCAA Division I national wrestling champion Darrion Caldwell and MTV "Caged" star Matt "Danger" Schnell make their pro debuts in separate bouts.

Legacy FC 14 takes place Sept. 14 at Houston's Arena Theater, and the main card airs on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).

Patino, who also holds Legacy's lightweight title, has won four straight fights, which included a title win over Pete Spratt and a defense over Mike Bronzoulis. He meets Rexroad, who's fought exclusively for Legacy during his two-year career and current four-fight win streak.

Caldwell (0-0), meanwhile, was a three-time state high-school champion, and he won the 2009 NCAA Division I national wrestling championship at 149 pounds after he upset Hodge Trophy winner Brent Metcalf in the finals. He meets fellow featherweight Nate Garza (3-5), who looks to end a three-fight losing skid following recent Legacy losses to Angel Huerta and Cody Williams.

Schnell (0-0), who quickly emerged as the most promising prospect on the MMA-themed "Caged" docu-reality series, turns pro after a 10-2 run as an amateur when he meets fellow new pro and flyweight Ryan Hollis (0-0), a Texas-based fighter who went 4-1 as an amateur.

Other main-card bouts include flyweight prospect and Tachi Palace Fights veteran Dustin Ortiz (8-2) vs. undefeated New Mexico fighter Rafael de Freitas (5-0), as well as undefeated light heavyweight Justin Ledet (4-0) vs. veteran Matt Thompson (17-9), who's on an 8-1 run that included a recent submission victory over former UFC competitor Jake Rosholt.

The remaining main-card bouts include bantamweights Alan Nascimento (6-0) vs. Cody Williams (3-2), welterweights Brandon Farran (6-4) vs. Leandro Da Silva (3-0-1), and welterweights Lester Batres (2-1) vs. Jon Harris (5-2).

Untelevised prelims include welterweights Charlie Ontiveros (1-0) vs. Edgar Verdin (2-3), 180-pounders Patrick Hutton (3-4) vs. Terrance Ferguson (1-1), light heavyweights Chris Reed (0-2) vs. Jermaine Anugwom (0-1), featherweights Roxy Adams (1-0) vs. Katalina Malugalu (2-0), and welterweights Ryan Spann (0-0) vs. Patrick Greene (0-2).

I remember seeing Rexroad fight, I think it was his last two fights. Was impressed. Maybe the winner of the fly battle can get a call from Zuffa.

TONIGHT!!!!!!!

UFC needs to sign both title winners.

Damn that was some freak shit. Gruesome elbow dislocation.

Holy shit that was a crazy ending. I'm sure the video will be up soon. It came after a horrible standup by the ref but still, killer combo to end the fight.

Antonio Banuelos (20- has signed with Legacy Fighting Championship and will debut for the promotion at Legacy FC 14 next month.

With Rafael De Freitas (5-0) out with an injury, the former UFC and WEC fighter will meet Josh Sampo (7-2) in the co-main event. Legacy promoter Mick Maynard on Tuesday confirmed the news to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Legacy FC 14 takes place Sept. 14 at Houston's Arena Theater, and the main card airs on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).

Banuelos, who makes his flyweight debut, has not fought since a December loss to Bibiano Fernandes in the DREAM bantamweight grand prix finals. Earlier that night, he won his semifinal bout by split decision against Masakazu Imanari. But against Fernandes, he was stopped with a TKO 81 seconds into the fight.

Banuelos, who trains at the esteemed Pit with John Hackleman in California, went 9-5 in the WEC before coming to the UFC in the merger of the two promotions. But in his lone UFC fight, he was outpointed by Miguel Torres at UFC 126 and released.

Sampo comes into the fight with four wins in his past five outings. The Missouri native started his career 3-0 and has four of his seven wins by submission. He is coming off a first-round kimura submission of Carson Gainey in a regional event in Missouri.

Legacy FC 14 includes a welterweight title fight between champion Jorge "Macaco" Patino (27-13-1) and challenger Jeff Rexroad (5-1).

anyone else watching?

Man that side kick was great. Straight to the face.

I hope they have a gif of that replay

Damn that was a close fight.

There we go, 1st finish. Mixed in a couple knees to the body and landed some hands to the chin. Not too bad.

Damn that was just domination once it hit the ground. Reversed him like it was nothing and locked in a choke before he was even fully off the bottom.

Daaaaaaaammn Rexroad got fucked up. Doctors might stop this. I thought he was out.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, ONE OF THE BEST SUBMISSIONS I HAVE SEEN. REXROAD WITH THE COMEBACK! Must watch fight.
