The already announced fight for the World Series of Fighting lightweight belt, between Justin gaethje and Nick Newell, details begin to be released. According to Ali Abdelaziz, executive vice-president of the organization, the fight will take place in July, although the day and location are still undefined.
Newell, who is missing part of his left arm due to a congenital amputation, has an identical record to that of the champion, Gaethje. The two have 11 wins and no losses, only one by decision of the judges.
However, Gaethje's record includes more well-known names, as he surpassed Drew Fickett (UFC veteran), Gesias Cavalcante (former K1 Hero's champion) and Dan Lauzon (former UFC fighter).
