Promotions that can adapt to changing tastes in the sports community can also turn over a new leaf, subtly transitioning behind the scenes when returning to nationally televised events on a fresh cable channel. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a Twin Cities chiller ready to add on extra layers of warmth for Legacy Fighting Alliance. A professional mixed martial artist since January 2026 and representing Start BJJ, McCoy Tekautz holds a 1-0 record with his only victory coming via knockout. Tekautz is 1-0 under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner and has spent his whole career in the United States in his home state of Minnesota. The lone finish during his journey as a professional MMA fighter has come in a single round with a time of 21 seconds. Tekautz has never gone to the scorecards over the course of his professional arc with a 100 percent finish rate in a single outing inside the professional ranks to show for it under his belt. He also fought for various promotions as an Amateur including Med City Fighting Championships before turning professional.
In his professional MMA debut and promotional debut under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner on the preliminary card of LFA 224, he faced a fellow debutant in Hykeem Green and went on to knock him out in round one. The win scored Tekautz the first knockout victory of his professional career in addition to win and finish number one under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner. He also picked up his first overall victory as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. Coming in at 26 years of age, Tekautz is a promising prospect whose arrival in a familiar setting can halt any icy reception, so do not leave yourself at the unfortunate mercies of a truth turned colder than icicles if future foes decline a snowbound burial!
