WSOF featherweight champion Lance Palmer will make his first title defense in June as he will be challenged by Chris Horodecki at WSOF 21 in Canada.
The fight booking was announced by Palmer on Thursday’s edition of Team Alpha Male Radio.
WSOF 21 will come from the Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on June 5 and will be headlined by Yushin Okami dropping down to the welterweight division to meet Ryan Ford.
Palmer (9-1) won the WSOF title late last year as he defeated Rick Glenn by submission. It was his second straight win and both of those victories came by rear-naked choke submission. Horodecki (21-5-1, 1NC) is coming off a decision win at WSOF 14 in October against Luis Huete. He is 3-1 in his last four fights and he has gone to the decision in his last three.
