Former WEC bantamweight champion and UFC vet Miguel Torres has joined the lineup for Legacy FC’s debut kickboxing event.

Legacy FC owner Mick Maynard today confirmed his participation with MMAjunkie.

Torres (43-7 MMA), who’s won three consecutive MMA fights since a three-fight skid with the UFC and WSOF from 2012-2013, takes on Angel Huerta (6-3), a Legacy FC vet who also competed in the World Combat League kickboxing promotion.

As previously reported, Legacy Kickboxing 1 takes place Jan. 16 at Bayou Music Center in Houston. AXS TV, which also broadcasts Legacy FC’s MMA cards, airs the event.

Torres was supposed to compete in May for GLORY kickboxing but ultimately withdrew from the event.

Torres joins some other familiar names on the early-2015 fight card. Fellow UFC vet Pat Barry (16-6-1) also recently joined the Legacy Kickboxing I lineup and meets Demoreo Dennis (9-3).

Also on the card, 135-pounder Valentina Shevchenko, who has a 51-1 record in muay Thai and kickboxing, meets fellow kickboxing veteran Lindsay Haycraft (25-12). Additionally, MMA/kickboxing vet Cosmo Alexandre (42-15) meets Regian Eersel (26-2), and Michael Corley (18-11) takes on Marco Pique (60-38).
