LUX Fight League (or simply LUX) is a Mexican mixed martial arts promotion based in Mexico City, founded by Joe Mendoza. It is considered the largest MMA promotion in Mexico and one of the most important in Latin America.[1]

History

[edit]

The promotion was founded on July 21, 2017. The inaugural LUX event took place on that same date in Tampico, Tamaulipas, featuring veteran Mexican fighter Efraín Escudero, who scored a victory over Brazilian Bruno Murata.[2]

The second LUX event was held on February 17, 2018, at the Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City. Compared to the first event, which featured only four fights, this one held a total of nine.[3]

In 2025, LUX announced the creation of "Streamers Smash", a competition that brings together fighters and streamers, the winner of which obtains a contract with the promotion.[4] The single-elimination tournament consists of eight amateur fighters who will have a streamer in their corner guiding them during the fights.[5]
