World Series of Fighting is back with its UFC castoffs!



Prelims - streaming on Sherdog.com (BLURGH) at 6PM ET

  • Lightweight - Ozzy Dugulubgov vs Chris Wade
  • Welterweight - Igor Gracie vs Richard Patishnock
  • Welterweight - Kris "Savage" McCray vs Danillo "Indio" Villefort
  • Featherweight - Rick "The Gladiator" Glenn vs Alexandre "Pulga" Pimentel
  • Featherweight - Waylon Lowe vs Cameron "Money Man" Dollar

Main card - On NBC Sports Network (FAAAAKE) at 9:30PM ET

  • Lightweight - Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante vs Justin Gaethje "To a Nunnery"

I am glad we are getting a former Soviet heavyweight against a welterweight again. Not gonna discount Rumble's chances, though. You've got to admit, that pound for pound, Anthony is all of them.

Moraes semi-whomped up on Miguel Torres on WSoF 1. Nam whomped current Bellator BW champ, Edward Dentist. Gesias did a gross-lookin sub on WSoF 1 on Some Dude, if I'm not mistaken. Josh Burkman survived a two-round guillotine at WSoF 1. He is also one of two remaining American Whu-Hit-U fighters left in the world (the other, Melvin Guillard, will probably be joining him in WSoF soon)

rumplejohnstin made it very clear that the reason he missed weight is because he has his man body now and was just too big. because in the normal course of biology a dude who works out constantly and is super large isn't going to stop growing until he's 28

“Swagger is what makes you sexy, it’s what makes you, you,” kensei commented. “So we have this forum where we post stuff whenever there’s really big events going on and we want to look good, look our best. I posted threads a couple times, and I talked about food once or twice, and -Atom- ended up posting about food too, but not as well, you know?"

“So I show up in LobsterMonster's thread getting ready to eat dinner and and he’s like ‘consider your swag jacked, kensei’. It was totally intentional, and a little embarrassing for -Atom - cause he couldn't even find a picture to put in his weak rear end post.

I wish the scale had springs that went "SCREEE-SCRAAAW" like a lovely old bathroom scale. It just seems appropriate.

Nothing to do with WSoF (though they had their own unrelated scale issues that delayed the weigh-ins by an hour).

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.


I don't know too much about the organizational details about this - does Ray Sefo just sort of do everything or is there an actual matchmaker?

Also, in a radio interview he hinted that his next MMA fight will be inside the WSOF cage - I'd hate to be the guy who has to fight his boss.
