LAS VEGAS (Enero 11, 2016) -World Series sa Fighting (WSOF.com) announced today that the highly-anticipated showdown between reigning, undefeated lightweight (155 libra) champion Justin "Ang kinadayagan" Gaethje and number one contender Brian Foster will take place at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Lap. sa Sabado, Marso 12, nagpuyo sa NBCSN sa 9 sa gabii. ET / 6 hapon. PT.

Nagkantidad gikan sa $39.99, tickets for WSOF29: Gaethje vs. Foster go on sale tomorrow, Martes, Jan. 12 sa 9 am. 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,"Miingon World Series sa away Presidente Amahan 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) sa Safford, Ariz. is coming off the third defense of his coveted title in which he scored an explosive, ikaduha nga round (4:30) KINSA (kinumo) of rival Luis "amo" Palomino in a rematch between the two prolific stars, sa Septiyembre 18.

Six months prior, Gaethje and Palomino engaged in an epic, see-saw slugfest that saw Gaethje emerge victorious by way of TKO (leg patid ug kumo) sa ikatolo round (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.

Sa petsa, 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 pinaagi sa unang round (1:09) KINSA (ug kinumo ug mga siko) at WSOF8 on January 18, 2014.

Foster (25-8) sa 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 sa usa ka una nga round (1:46) pagpasakop (tikod taga) defeat to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace João 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) KINSA (kinumo) and Zeferino via second round (4:51) KO (kinumo) sa 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 libra) superstar Matt Brown, whom Foster conquered by way of second round (2:11) pagpasakop (guillotine choke) sa Nobyembre 20, 2010.

Additional WSOF29 bouts will be announced soon.

Macfarlane made a splash during her Bellator MMA debut back in August; defeating a game Maria Rios pinaagi sa split decision.

Earlier today, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.

 

A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening.

Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Ang Cannon” Berry (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, non-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” niini nga sa miaging Nobyembre.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) ug Jon Lemke (5-3). DubbedThe Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.

 

The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (6-4) pagkuha sa Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight matchup.

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

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 " kontra. Pebrero 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 stoppages in 15 mga kadaugan.
