In just two short years, Carlos Diego Ferreira has become one of the top lightweight prospects in Texas. Most recently, Ferreira headlined Legacy FC 20 in Corpus Christi on May 31 and outshined UFC veteran Carlo Prater en route to a unanimous decision victory in the evening’s main event. “I did what I was supposed to do,” said Ferreira. “I wanted to exchange a little bit and try out my stand-up and I wanted to see if I had improved my game or I had to go to the ground. I did good with all of my (skills) and I really liked my performance this time.” Heading into his first major headlining spot on live television could have intimidated a fighter with just six bouts of experience going in, but not so for Ferreira
