Jason High vs. Joao Zeferino

Entering the World Series of Fighting decagon cage for the third time, 5-fótur-9, 34-year-old High of Kansas City, Þú. has been nothing short of spectacular in his first two starts.

John Howard vs. Abubakar Nurmagomedov

The 5-fótur-7, 33-year-old Howard of Boston, Mass. is coming off a successful World Series of Fighting debut on Júní 17 when he earned a unanimous decision over Michael Arrant.

A 14-fight veteran of the UFC, Howard triumphed over the likes of Dennis "Superman" Hallman, Uriah Hall og Siyar Bahadurzada over the course of two different stints with the promotion, and earned “Knockout of the Night” honors for his first round (2:01) KO (högg) af Daniel Roberts at the ‘UFC Live’ event on March 21, 2010, as well as a “Fight of the Night” award following his split decision win over Chris Wilson í UFC 94 janúar 31, 2009.

Nurmagomedov of Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia is a 6-foot, 26-year-old protégé of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the father and trainer of UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov, and a 2014 Combat Sambo World Championships bronze medalist.

When he faces Howard, Nurmagomedov will look for his fourth consecutive win in the World Series of Fighting decagon cage, and his fifth straight win overall, following his crushing, seinni umferð (3:05) WHO (högg) afMatthew Frincu at WSOF30 on Apríl 2.

A veteran of Strikeforce and Bellator action as well, Jordan is an accomplished athlete who earned a football scholarship to Louisiana State University (LSU) where he was a member of both the 2003 og 2007 national championship teams.

Gooch of Glendale, Ariz. earned his shot with World Series of Fighting as a result of his recent surge that has seen the 6-foot-3, 41-year-old emerge victorious in each of his last eight bouts, with all eight of the wins having come by way of (T)KO eða uppgjöf.
