LAS VEGAS (Januarie 11, 2016) -World Reeks Veg (WSOF.com) announced today that the highly-anticipated showdown between regeer, onoorwonne liggewig (155 pond) kampioen Justin "Die Merk" Gaethje and number one contender Brian Foster will take place at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Lap.

Prys van $39.99, kaartjies vir WSOF29: Gaethje vs. Foster go on sale tomorrow, Dinsdag, Jan. 12 by 9 voormiddag. MT at WSOF.com and ComcastTix.com.

“This is a fight between two phenomenal athletes who are at the top of their games right now and whose fighting spirits are bound to make it an all-out war in the cage that will see the better man that night walk away as world champion,"Sê World Series of Veg President Vader Chiefs.

One of the most dominant competitors on the World Series of Fighting roster whose fearless, go-for-broke style has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, the 27-year-old Gaethje (14-0) van Safford, Ariz. is coming off the third defense of his coveted title in which he scored an explosive, tweede ronde (4:30) WIE (stoot) of rival Luis "Bobbejaan" Palomino in a rematch between the two prolific stars, op September 18.

Six months prior, Gaethje and Palomino engaged in an epic, see-saw slugfest that saw Gaethje emerge victorious by way of TKO (been trappe en stoot) in die derde ronde (3:57) that has since been nominated for “Fight of the Year” at the eighth annual Fighters Only World MMA Awards ceremony that takes place on February 5.

Tot op datum, Gaethje has claimed a total of eight wins in the World Series of Fighting decagon cage, with seven of those wins having come by way of (T)KO. He was crowned the league’s inaugural lightweight kingpin after finishing Richard Patishnock deur middel van die eerste ronde (1:09) WIE (stoot en elmboë) at WSOF8 on January 18, 2014.

Foster (25-8) van Sallisaw, Okla. earned his title shot on November 20 when the 31-year-old, decorated veteran staged a heroic effort, fighting three times in one night to win World Series of Fighting’s first-ever, one-night tournament featuring the top eight athletes in the league’s stacked lightweight division.

After suffering 'n eerste ronde (1:46) voorlegging (hak haak) defeat to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Joao Zeferino, Foster experienced a stroke of luck, advancing to the tournament’s semifinal stage of competition in place of an injured competitor, and capitalized on the opportunity by defeating Palomino via second round (4:19) WIE (stoot) and Zeferino via second round (4:51) KO (stoot) in a championship stage rematch, to claim first prize and a shot at Gaethje’s title.

A 10-year veteran of the sport, Foster has produced notable victories over Brock Larson, Forrest Petz and world top 10 ranked welterweight (170 pond) superster Matt Brown, whom Foster conquered by way of second round (2:11) voorlegging (guillotine verstik) op November 20, 2010.

Bykomende WSOF29-wedstryde sal binnekort aangekondig word.

Both Newton and Vassell were participants in the four-man, light-heavyweight No. 1 contender tournament at "Bellator MMA: Dinamiet.” Now, the pair of 205-pounders will look to re-establish themselves atop one of the deepest and most competitive divisions in Bellator MMA.

 

A former champion, Newton will be making his 12ste appearance for the Scott Coker-led promotion and hopes to duplicate the success he experienced at the expense of Vassell during "Bellator 130: Newton vs. Vassell” back in 2014. Better known as “The Hardcore Kid,” the 31-year-old has been half of some of the most memorable contests in Bellator MMA history, namely, his spinning-backfist finish of “King Mo” and his back-and-forth war with current Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Liam McGeary.

 

Undoubtedly one of the goals for Vassell in 2016 is finding his way onto the recently announced Bellator MMA debut in London later this year. For this to come to fruition, “The Swarm” surely needs to redeem himself from the fifth-round, rear-naked choke submission defeat he suffered at the hands of his"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " opponent. Februarie 19 will mark the seventh time Vassell has competed under the Bellator MMA banner and “The Swarm” will be looking to add to his impressive finishing mark of 13 Brasilië-boorling sal sy indrukwekkende rekord van in die Bellator-hok bring 15 oorwinnings.
