“Every time we hold an event, we always work hard to put on the most exciting fights possible,” said World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo. “World Series of Fighting 10 will be no exception and will deliver one exciting fight after another at The Joint in The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, which is such a fantastic venue we decided to return on June 21. With these two championship fights leading the way – not to mention a third one on the way – it’s going to be an incredible night.”
Branch (13-3) has won three fights in a row and all three of those fights came in the World Series of Fighting. He secured his spot in this inaugural title fight be defeating Danillo Villefort by unanimous decision at World Series of Fighting 5. Taylor (27-9) was signed by the World Series of Fighting last year and won his debut against Elvis Mutapcic. It was his seventh straight victory and two of his last three wins have come by decision.
Karakhanyan (21-3-1) won the inaugural World Series of Fighting featherweight title in December when he submitted Lance Palmer.
