LASa VEGAS (Julio 23, 2015) – World Series of Fighting’s blockbuster “WSOF 22: Palhares vs. Ŝildoj” Miksita Militajn Artojn (MMA) event will feature five preliminary contests that will stream live on WSOF.com prior to the live NBCSN telecast of the much-anticipated world championship doubleheader on Saturday, #A?gusto 1.
Featuring a pair of highly anticipated world title fights with reigning WSOF World Welterweight (170 Funtoj) Senegala Rousimar Palhares (17-6) #Kontra?. top-ranked challenger and two-time world champion Jake Shields (31-7) as well as WSOF World Bantamweight (135 Funtoj) Senegala Marlon Moraes (14-4-1) #Kontra?. undefeated challenger Sheymon Moraes (7-0), the mega-card will take place at The AXIS inside Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood Resort & Kazino.
The new preliminary contests include light heavyweights (205 Funtoj) Jake "La Mielo Urso" Heun (7-4) #Kontra?. Davin “Malcedema” Clark (5-2-2), Flyweights (125 Funtoj) Donavon Frelow (4-0) #Kontra?. Karolo García (0-0), a 140-pound catchweight contest with Jimmy “Kuniklo” Jones (4-3) #Kontra?. Marco Simmons (0-0), Lumaj superpezuloj Cory Hendricks (2-0) #Kontra?. Julio Hinojosa (3-1) and lightweights (155 Funtoj) Gil Gardita (3-1) #Kontra?. Pete Martin (5-3)
Fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., the 27-year-old Heun is a two-time veteran of WSOF action who is sporting an overall record of 1-1 in the promotion. Four of his seven career victories have come by way of (T)KO and one by way of submission. He is looking to rebound from a second round (4:11) submetiĝo (arm-triangle choke) defeat at the hands of Clifford Starks.
Heun faces Clark, a 33-year-old American Kickboxing Academy product from San Jose, Calif., who has been competing professionally since 2007. While he suffered an October loss to fellow veteran Joe Vedepo, Clark’s previous two appearances saw him earn a pair of first-round finishes.
Las Vegas’ Frelow was originally expected to compete on the evening’s main card for the inaugural World Series of Fighting flyweight title. Tamen, fellow undefeated contender Magomed Bibulatov suffered an injury in training and was forced to withdraw from the contest. Frelow elected to stay busy rather than wait on a title fight and now meets fellow Las Vegas resident Garcia, an Xtreme Couture fighter making his professional debut.
Additional preliminary bouts see some of Las Vegas’ top prospects enter the WSOF cage, as Xtreme Couture’s Jones meets Wand Fight Team’s Simmons, and Xtreme Couture’s Guardado faces Wand Fight Teams’ Martin.
Meanwhile, Syndicate MMA’s Hendricks welcomes Hinojosa, of El Patiom, Teksaso, to the World Series of Fighting decagon.
