“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,"Alisema Dunia Mfululizo wa Kupambana na Rais Baba 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) ya Safford, Ariz. is coming off the third defense of his coveted title in which he scored an explosive, raundi ya pili (4:30) WHO (kukwepa makonde) of rival Luis "Nyani" Palomino in a rematch between the two prolific stars, Septemba 18.

Six months prior, Gaethje and Palomino engaged in an epic, see-saw slugfest that saw Gaethje emerge victorious by way of TKO (mateke mguu na kukwepa makonde) katika raundi ya tatu (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.

After suffering raundi ya kwanza (1:46) kuwasilisha (kisigino ndoano) 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) WHO (kukwepa makonde) and Zeferino via second round (4:51) KO (kukwepa makonde) katika 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 paundi) Nyota Mathayo Brown, whom Foster conquered by way of second round (2:11) kuwasilisha (guillotine hulisonga) Novemba 20, 2010.
