WSOF 22 on August 1 will be going against the UFC 190 pay-per-view headlined by Ronda Rousey and the WSOF card will feature title fights in the welterweight, bantamweight, and flyweight divisions.
The promotion had previously announced the welterweight and bantamweight title fights and WSOF President Ray Sefo informed MMA Junkie today that Magomed Bibulatov and Donavon Frelow will battle for the inaugural flyweight title.
In addition, striking specialist Tyrone Spong will make his return to MMA and he will meet Mike Kyle in the opening bout of the main card, which will begin at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.
“This is, in my opinion, the most incredible lineup of fights featuring marquee talent that WSOF has put together since we launched the company in 2012,” said WSOF President Ray Sefo. “We have a collection of highly competitive matchups with top-caliber superstars that have all made some kind of mark in the sport, and it should be a spectacular night of world-class combat.”
