Legacy FC will return to Tulsa in April with a card featuring UFC and WEC vet Anthony Njokuani in the main event.

Njokuani (15-9) is set to take on Jonny Carson (12-6) in a lightweight headliner at Legacy FC 41, which takes place April 3 at Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa. The main card will air live on AXS TV. Legacy FC owner Mick Maynard confirmed the card and lineup to MMAjunkie.

The card also features a women’s bantamweight co-main event between Brazilian Strikeforce vet Carina Damm (22-11) and Valentina Shevchenko (3-1). Plus, WEC vet Mike Budnik (13-4) meets Evan Cutts (5-1) at lightweight, and there are two battles of unbeatens as Andrew Parker (5-0) takes on Andrew Todhunter (7-0) at welterweight and Justin Rader (3-0) meets Ricardo Ramos (6-0) in a bantamweight bout.

Njokuani was released by the UFC after a decision loss to Daron Cruickshank this past October. The setback gave him three losses in four fights with the promotion. In eight bouts with the UFC, he went 3-5 and hadn’t had a winning streak since he won three straight in the WEC – all “Knockout of the Night” bonuses – in 2009.

Carson returns for the first time in what will be nearly two years when he meets Njokuani. In April 2013, he took a unanimous decision from Marcio Navarro to get back on track after a submission loss to Guillaume DeLorenzi at Bellator 79, his lone appearance for that promotion. He also has a Strikeforce fight on his resume in 2009.

Damm will be looking to get back on track after a four-fight winning streak was snapped this past July against Elaine Albuquerque. The sister of UFC UFC vet Rodrigo Damm has been fighting professionally for more than 10 years, and her resume includes a win over WSOF champ Jessica Aguilar.

Shevchenko, a standout kickboxer from Peru, will be fighting MMA for the first time in more than a year. This past February, she stopped Hellen Bastos on a card in her home country to give her back-to-back since since returning to the sport in December 2013 after more than three years away.
