Today on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour, World Series of Fighting Executive Vice President, Ali Abdelaziz, extended a challenge to Bellator Fighting Championship. For the last year, high end media has turned a blind eye to WSOF. For some reason, they refuse to legitimately recognize them as a top organization in MMA.
Seemingly disgusted with this issue, Abdelaziz thus issued a “Winner Take All” pay per view card. The WSOF vs. Bellator card is a 10 fight card with the majority winner of the card to take home the live gate and PPV revenue. The proposed fight card is as follows:
Main Event:
Tyrone Spong vs. Quinton “Rampage” Jackson
Light Heavyweight
Co-Main Event
Anthony Johnson vs. Attila Vegh
Light Heavyweight
Andrei Arlovski vs. Vitaly Manakov
Heavyweight
Marlon Moraes vs. Eduardo Dantas
Bantamweight
Yushin Okami vs. Alexander Shlemenko
Middleweight
Rousimar Palhares vs. Douglas Lima
Welterweight
Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Chandler
Lightweight
George Karakhanyan vs. Daniel Straus
Featherweight
Jon Fitch vs. Rick Hawn
Welterweight
David Branch vs. Brett Cooper
Middleweight
The challenge was just issued less than an hour ago, so there is no response at this time from Spike TV, Bjorn Rebney or any of there fighters. More to come….
