As expected, World Series of Fighting will return June 14 to host their third event. “World Series of Fighting: Fitch vs. Burkman” takes place inside The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A welterweight rematch between former UFC top contender Jon Fitch (pictured) and Josh Burkman headlines the gig. Fitch previously submitted Berkman at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 4 back in April 2006.
Kickboxing sensation turned mixed martial arts prospect Tyrone Spong meets Angel DeAnda in the night’s co-featured attraction. Spong made his MMA debut in spectacular fashion by knocking out Travis Bartlett at WSOF 1 last November.
