World Series Of Fighting 9: Fight Card

World Series Of Fighting 9 takes place this weekend and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

The main event sees controversial former UFC fighter Rousimar Palhares making his WSOF debut, and the leg lock specialist he heads straight into a middleweight title fight against current champion Steve Carl.

Another recently released UFC veteran Yushin Okami also makes his debut on the main card, taking on Svetlozar Savov.

WSOF have built a solid card around these big name stars, with a featherweight title fight set for the co-main event pitting promotional regular Marlon Moraes Vs Josh Rettinghouse.

Josh Burkman is also on-board looking to get back into the middleweight title mix against Tyler Stinson.

Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
