LuckBet Named Master Sponsor of LFA 209, Marking MMA History in Mato Grosso

Rising sports betting platform LuckBet has been announced as the master sponsor for LFA 209, the first edition of the Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) to be held in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The event, widely known as the top development platform for future UFC fighters, takes place May 24 at the Malai Manso Resort, in Chapada dos Guimarães, and represents a major milestone for mixed martial arts in the region.

The sponsorship deal includes on-site brand visibility, exclusive content for social media, and live activations during the event, which will be broadcast live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass.

“We’re proud to be the only betting company from Mato Grosso legally operating in Brazil,” said Ivan Dutra, CEO of LuckBet. “This sponsorship is a strategic move to connect with a new audience while promoting a globally respected sport. It’s even more meaningful as the LFA makes its debut in our home state.”

High Stakes in the Cage

LFA 209’s main event features Brazilians Inglesson De Lara and Bruno “Xinoco” Henrique, battling it out in the featherweight division. The event marks LFA’s 22nd event in Brazil since expanding internationally in 2021 and is the second time the promotion touches down in the Central-West Region, following a prior event in the Federal District.

This edition is supported by the Mato Grosso Secretary of Culture, Sports and Leisure (SECEL-MT) and held at the Malai Manso Resort, the only all-inclusive resort in the Central-West certified by the Brazilian Resorts Association (ABR).

Broadcast starts at 9 PM (Brasília time) / 8 PM (Mato Grosso time) and features live Portuguese commentary by UFC legend and ambassador Rogério Minotouro.
