Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, World Series of Fighting matchmaker Ali Abdelaziz revealed an audacious challenge to rival promotion Bellator, proposing a head-to-head card packed with the best of each promotion’s talent facing off against each other.
A cocky callout or publicity stunt that will likely see few developments, but a highly intriguing proposal nonetheless, boasting stacked potential line up of PPV quality.
Abdelaziz proposed:
World Series of Fighting vs Bellator Fighting Championship
Tyrone Spong vs. Quinton Jackson
Anthony Johnson vs. Attila Vegh
Andrei Arlovski vs. Vitaly Minakov
Marlon Moraes vs. Eduardo Dantas
Yushin Okami vs. Alexander Shlemenko
Rousimar Palhares vs. Douglas Lima
Justin Gaethje vs. Eddie Alvarez (or Michael Chandler)
Georgi Karakhanyan vs. Daniel Straus
Jon Fitch vs. Rick Hawn
David Branch vs. Brett Cooper
This potential promotion versus promotions card has the potential to be HUGH for the sport of mixed martial arts. What do you think of these match ups, and which promotion would walk away on top?
