A pair of title bouts will headline Resurrection Fighting Alliance 31 as Gilbert Smith defends the middleweight title against Bristol Marunde and Zoila Frausto faces Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger for the vacant strawweight title. Smith will be making the first defense of his championship, having defeated Benjamin Smith at RFA 26 for the gold. Marunde is a UFC veteran who will be making his RFA debut in this fight and he does so on a four fight winning streak.

Frausto will be returning to action after a year-plus absence and she is a former Bellator MMA Women’s Strawweight Champion. Jones-Lybarger is currently undefeated in RFA competition and this will be the first time she has challenged for gold as a professional MMA fighter. Resurrection Fighting Alliance 31 takes place on October 9th from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with Gilbert Smith and Bristol Marunde headlining.
