A heavyweight contest between D.J. Linderman (12-3) and Dale Mitchell (5-4) has been added to next week's Legacy Fighting Championship 12 event.
Additionally, Mike Bronzoulis has suffered an injury in training, leaving Jay Hieron (22-5) awaiting a new opponent.
Featuring a battle between Will Campuzano and Chad Robichaux for Legacy FC's vacant flyweight title, Legacy Fighting Championship 12 takes place July 13 at Houston's Arena Theater. The evening's main card airs on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).
Linderman looks to build on the strength of a two-fight win streak that includes a June victory over Mike Hayes for Cage Warriors Fighting Championship's heavyweight title. Linderman previously fought at light heavyweight and made it to the semifinals of Bellator Fighting Championships' season-four light heavyweight tournament before losing a split decision to Richard Hale.
Meanwhile, Mitchell boasts a four-fight win streak that includes four TKO wins, three of which came in the very first round. The current run is an impressive turnaround following a 1-4 record to open his career.
Hieron left Bellator following an October title loss to champion Ben Askren, which came via close split decision. The defeat snapped Hieron's 10-fight win streak, which included his victorious run through Bellator's season-four welterweight tournament, as well as a pair of victories under the Strikeforce banner.
A new opponent for Hieron is expected to be announced shortly.
