The co-main event of WSOF 29 on March 12 has been announced by the promotion as former UFC heavyweight Josh Copeland will meet Mike Hayes. Along with announcing the co-main event, the promotion also revealed that Cory Devela vs. Louis Taylor and Josh Cavan vs. Kris Hocum will be part of the four fight main card.
The new fight bookings were announced by the promotion in a press release on Wednesday and tickets are currently on sale at WSOF.com and the University of Northern Colorado’s online ticketing platform.
WSOF 29 will come from the Bank of Colorado Arena in Greeley, Colorado and will be headlined by a title fight as Justin Gaethje defends the lightweight title against Brian Foster.
Copeland (11-3) was released by the UFC last year after losing both of his fights in the promotion.

Hayes (19-10-2) has gone 1-6-1 in his last eight fights and is coming off a draw against Trevor Prangley in June. His only win in his last eight fights came in 2013 when he defeated Jeff Monson by knockout.
