World Series of Fighting returns to Canada for their 21st show tonight, and the card features two title fights. Even though one of the fighters has yet to weigh in. And the undercard features two guys from the same camp fighting each other on virtually no notice due to an opponent backing out. Oh WSOF, you're so wacky.
The main event sees Team Alpha Male's Lance Palmer defending his featherweight title against Canadian veteran Chris Horodecki (21-5-1, 1 NC, 1-0 WSOF). Even though he's only 27 (and looks like he's 12), Horodecki has competed all over the place from the IFL to the WEC to Bellator. After a win at WSOF 14, he's being pushed into a title match against Palmer (9-1, 2-1 WSOF). He picked up the title from Rick Glenn late last year after failing to secure it in a title bout in late 2013. It's basically striker vs. grappler, as Horodecki is known for his flashy attacks on the feet while Palmer was a four-time All American wrestler at Ohio State.
The co-main event sees WSOF heavyweight champ Smealinho Rama taking on Bellator vet Blagoi Ivanov. Ivanov (11-1)was late getting his visa, and wasn't able to arrive in Edmonton until after the weigh-ins. Because he's a HW nowhere near the 265-pound limit though, he'll officially weigh in today and the fight will go on.
