Hey, remember when Dave Branch was going to fight Ronny Markes and Melvin Guillard was supposed to be in the co-main event? Well Markes pulled out because of dehydration and Guillard wasn’t bothered with submitting his medicals, so World Series of Fighting 20 at Foxwoods Resort and Casino has had to undergo some major changes. Jesse McElligott is now facing branch in the main event, with the winner facing Teddy Holder for the LHW title. Nick Newell has been promoted to the co-main versus veteran Joe Condon, while Ozzy Dugulubgov goes from facing Guillard to fighting Lucas Montoya.
Also of note is the WSOF debut of Phoenix Jones, who is more commonly known as a vigilante justice type “superhero” in Seattle. He will face Emmanuel Walo on the five-fight main card.
The live stream of the prelims can be viewed at the top of the page at 6:15 PM ET. Main card action then begins at 9 PM ET on NBC Sports Network. Consider this your one-stop hub for watching some of the fights as well as discussing the card.
