Fitch, who has faced and defeated some of the best rival welterweight fighters of his era to cement his legacy in the sport, risked his World Series of Fighting title for the first time on Duben 2, defeating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Joao Zeferino cestou jednomyslným rozhodnutím.

Fighting out of San Francisco, Calif., 6-noha, 37-year-old Shields will seek his fourth major world championship. The Cesar Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt held both the Shooto and EliteXC welterweight straps as well as the Strikeforce middleweight crown.

Josh Copeland vs. Smealinho Ráma

6-noha-1, 33-year-old Copeland is coming off what was perhaps the grittiest performance of his four-year professional career in his bid for the World Series of Fighting heavyweight title against reigning champion Blagoy Ivanov. Copeland stood toe-to-toe and held his own against the Sambo champion, but was left on the losing end of a unanimous decision after five competitive rounds of action.

Copeland, kdo má zářez 7 z jeho 12 professional victories by way of (T)KO nebo podání, earned his place in the world title fight by taking a unanimous decision from Mike „300“ Hayes at WSOF29 on Březen 12.

Rama, who also holds a unanimous decision win over Steve Mocco in the World Series of Fighting decagon cage, surrendered the heavyweight title after being submitted (gilotina tlumivka) by Ivanov in the third round (1:17) of their bout on June 5, 2015.

Paul Bradley vs. Yushin Okami

One of World Series of Fighting’s recent, high-profile acquisitions, 5-noha-9, 33-year-old Bradley of San Diego, Kalif. signed with the league after decimating previously unbeaten Chris Honeycutt prostřednictvím TKO (údery) in just 40 seconds in the Bellator MMA cage on January 29, 2016.

Bývalý, two-time All-American wrestling star for NCAA Division I University of Iowa, Bradley placed as high as fourth in the national championships before turning to MMA in 2006 where he has since faced off with elite competition in the UFC and Strikeforce.

Podobně jako jeho soupeř, 6-noha-2, 35-year-old Okami of Kanagawa, Japan has scrapped with top-level, world ranked competition to earn his place in the decagon cage.

Since the loss to Fitch, Okami, a veteran of the UFC as well as PRIDE, has since reeled off two consecutive victories in his home country – a second round (4:23) WHO (corner zastavení) na Ryuta Sakurai v Tokiu Únor 27, and a first round (2:06) předkládání (zadní nahý tlumivka) na Shingo Suzukina Červenec 24.
