Video: See the 'Fight of the Year' candidate that set up this week's WSOF 23 main event

On Friday night, WSOF lightweight champion Justin Gaethje and top contender Luis Palomino will do battle for the second time. While immediate title rematches aren’t always welcomed in MMA, their first clash left just about everyone asking for more.

The two originally served as headliners of this past March’s WSOF 19 event. The undefeated Gaethje and the hard-hitting Palomino combined to put on that is generally considered the best fight in the promotion’s history. This weekend, they come together again in the headlining bout of WSOF 23, which takes place at Phoenix’s Comerica Theatre and airs on NBCSN.

Ahead of what should be another thriller, check out the video above to see their first encounter in its entirety.
