Justin Gaethje vs. Dan Lauzon added to World Series of Fighting 6 in Florida

An intriguing contest between two of World Series of Fighting’s top lightweight talents has been scheduled for the promotion’s first event in Florida.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the fighters that Justin Gaethje (9-0) and Dan Lauzon have agreed to meet at World Series of Fighting 6, which takes place Oct. 26 at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla. The evening’s main card, including a title fight between welterweight contenders Josh Burkman and Steve Carl, airs on NBC Sports Network.

World Series of Fighting officials have since confirmed the new booking, as well as the previously reported matchups of Burkman vs. Carl and Carson Beebe vs. Marlon Moraes.

Gaethje fights for the third time for World Series of Fighting after already registering TKO wins over Brian Cobb and Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante. Gaethje also boasts as 12-second win over Drew Fickett in a 2012 Rage in the Cage contest and is undefeated through the first nine fights of his career.

Meanwhile, Lauzon is perhaps best known for a two-fight stint in the UFC that saw him drop back-to-back fights to Efrain Escudero and Cole Miller. However, the 25-year-old has since rebounded for five straight wins, including a one-sided decision win over John Gunderson at June’s World Series of Fighting 2 event.

With the addition to the card, the World Series of Fighting 6 lineup now includes:

• Josh Burkman vs. Steve Carl – for inaugural welterweight title
• Carson Beebe vs. Marlon Moraes
• Justin Gaethje vs. Dan Lauzon
