Ahead of next week’s World Series of Fighting 3 event, the organization has released a video preview of Jon Fitch vs. Josh Burkman, a welterweight headliner that’s been flying under the radar.
Fitch (24-5-1), who’s ranked No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings, fights for the first time since his UFC release and makes his WSOF debut when he takes on Burkman (25-9), who’s on a 7-1 run and four-fight win streak since his own UFC release.
WSOF 3, which airs on NBC Sports Network, takes place June 14 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Burkman and Fitch fought once before. Back at UFC Fight Night 4 in 2006, Fitch scored a submission victory over Burkman.
Check out the above video as they prepare for the rematch.
