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

The promotion was founded on July 21, 2017 by Mexican businessman Joe Mendoza. The inaugural LUX event took place on that same date in Tampico, Tamaulipas, ^[2] featuring veteran Mexican fighter Efraín Escudero, who scored a victory over Brazilian Bruno Murata. ^[3]

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. ^[4]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was declared in March 2020, "LUX 009" was held at the Showcenter Complex in Monterrey behind closed doors, after previously being scheduled for April 3. ^[5] The next event, "LUX 010", would mark the return of the public, albeit limited to prevent virus infections, and would be the first sporting event in Mexico since the start of the pandemic to open its doors to the public. ^[6]

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. ^[7] The single-elimination tournament consists of eight amateur fighters who will have a streamer in their corner guiding them during the fights. ^[8]
