Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos Cody East had a dangerous title fight on Friday, and he got in trouble early. But ultimately, he made Brice Ritani-Coe pay. East (10-1) retained his heavyweight title with a second-round TKO in the main event of Friday’s Legacy FC 40 event – but he had to survive a first-round scare from the challenger, who took the fight on less than two weeks’ notice – and just three weeks after fighting at Legacy FC 39, which was his first bout in nearly four years. The main card also featured a beautiful knockout by Doug Usher (4-2) against Aaron Conway (4-5) in the main card’s opening bout, plus some brilliant jiu-jitsu from Rodrigo Lima (12-3) against Matt Betzold (6-5). Check out the video highlights of those fights above. The bouts took place at Wild Bills in Atlanta
