CONTRACTUAL SNAFU CAUSES CHANGES TO WSOF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT

By David Tees on 3/5/2015 8:20 AM

Current Titan FC Light Heavyweight Champion Vinny Magalhaes has been pulled from the upcoming WSOF Light Heavyweight Title Tournament due to a contractual dispute. The tournament has now undergone some changes, the first being that Thiago Silva will now faces Matt Hamill in the first semi-final bout in the co-main event of the WSOF 19. The other semi-final fight will now be between current WSOF Middleweight Champion David Branch and Ronny Markes, which will headline the WSOF 20. If Branch were to win the tournament, it would make him the first two division champion in a major MMA organization since Dan Henderson achieved that goal in PRIDE over a decade ago.
