“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,"Sagði World Series of Fighting forseta Faðir 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) af Safford, Ariz. is coming off the third defense of his coveted title in which he scored an explosive, seinni umferð (4:30) WHO (högg) of rival Luis "Baboon" Palomino in a rematch between the two prolific stars, september 18.
Six months prior, Gaethje and Palomino engaged in an epic, see-saw slugfest that saw Gaethje emerge victorious by way of TKO (fótur ánægja og kýla) í þriðju umferð (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.
Hingað, 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 með því að fyrstu lotu (1:09) WHO (kýla og olnboga) at WSOF8 on January 18, 2014.
Foster (25-8) af 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 fyrstu umferð (1:46) uppgjöf (hæl krókur) 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 (högg) and Zeferino via second round (4:51) KO (högg) í 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 £) Superstar Matt Brown, whom Foster conquered by way of second round (2:11) uppgjöf (Fallöxi Choke) nóvember 20, 2010.
