WSOF 19 Gaethje - Palomino Set With 12 Bouts

On March 28th, the World Series of Fighting will host its 19th event which will features a Lightweight Title match between Justin Gaethje (13-0) and Luis “Baboon” Palomino (23-9). The complete card has just been finalized and will have a total of 12 matches. As usual the preliminary card will be in NBCSports.com followed by the four bout main card on NBCSN at 9pm ET.

WSOF 19 takes place at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix AZ and will have a co main event of a rematch from a previous battle between Thiago Silva (16-3) and Matt Hammill (11-5). These two last fought each other back in October in 2013 which was each of their last fight.

The rest of the card includes two lightweight (155 pounds) contests - Lucas Montoya (8-3) vs. Raymond Pina (4-1), and Benny "El Hijo" Madrid (7-2) vs. Jimmy Spicuzza (5-2).

The remaining additions include a 180-pound catchweight matchup between Joe Gigliotti (3-0) and Brendan "Tiny Shorts" Tierney (11-6), a bantamweight (135 pounds) scrap between Randy Steinke (15-8) and Juan Archuleta (5-0), a middleweight (185 pounds) tilt between Dan Huber (3-2) and Israel Aquino (0-0), a welterweight (170 pounds) contest between Matthew Frincu (5-1) and Eric Regan(15-24) and a bantamweight collision between Joe Madrid (4-2) and Erik Villalobos(1-0).

Justin Gaethje is one of the fighters outside of the UFC that many fans should see. He is one of the true stars of WSOF and is looking to continue his undefeated streak. He faces the always dangerous Palomino who has knockout power in both hands and will look to take the 155 title. It should be a great action packed main event. The full lineup for WSOF 19 is listed below.
