“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,"ఫైటింగ్ అధ్యక్షుడు వరల్డ్ సిరీస్ చెప్పారు తండ్రి చీఫ్స్.
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) సాఫ్ఫఓర్డ్ యొక్క, అరిజ్. is coming off the third defense of his coveted title in which he scored an explosive, రెండవ రౌండ్ (4:30) WHO (గుద్దులు) of rival లూయిస్ "బబూన్" Palomino in a rematch between the two prolific stars, సెప్టెంబర్ 18.
Six months prior, Gaethje and Palomino engaged in an epic, see-saw slugfest that saw Gaethje emerge victorious by way of TKO (లెగ్ కిక్స్ మరియు గుద్దులు) మూడవ రౌండ్ లో (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.
తేదీ, 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)కో. He was crowned the league’s inaugural lightweight kingpin after finishing రిచర్డ్ Patishnock మొదటి రౌండ్ ద్వారా (1:09) WHO (గుద్దులు మరియు మోచేతుల) at WSOF8 on January 18, 2014.
ఫోస్టర్ (25-8) Sallisaw యొక్క, 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 తొలి రౌండ్లో (1:46) సమర్పణ (మడమ హుక్) 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 (గుద్దులు) and Zeferino via second round (4:51) కో (గుద్దులు) లో 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 బ్రాక్ లార్సన్, Forrest Petz and world top 10 ranked welterweight (170 పౌండ్ల) సూపర్స్టార్ మాట్ బ్రౌన్, whom Foster conquered by way of second round (2:11) సమర్పణ (గిలెటిన్ చౌక్) నవంబర్ 20, 2010.
Additional WSOF29 bouts will be announced soon. |
