WSoF VP: 11/15 card will be bigger than UFC’s or Bellator’s
Ali Abdel-Aziz: “I think it is going to be a bigger card than UFC and Bellator because it’s going to be free on NBC Sports and it’s going to have three title fights.”
November 15 will be an amazing night for mixed martial arts:
•UFC 180 on FOX Sports and PPV, with Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum, Joe Lauzon vs. Diego Sanchez, and Jake Ellenberger vs. Kelvin Gastelum.
•Bellator 131 on Spike, with Tito Ortiz vs. Stephan Bonnar, Michael Chandler vs. Will Brooks, Melvin Manhoef vs. Joe Schilling, and King Mo Lawal vs. Tom DeBlass
•WSoF 15 on NBC, with three title fights: David Branch vs. Yushin Okami, Justin Gaethje vs. Melvin Guillard, and Jessica Aguilar vs. Kalindra Faria.
Looking realistically at the events, the UFC will be the biggest. WSoF is the upstart and thus you might expect they would be happy with a #2 finish. However, WSOF Executive Vice President Ali Abdel-Aziz says WSOF 15 will be the very best.
“I think it is going to be a bigger card than UFC and Bellator because it’s going to be free on NBC Sports and it’s going to have three title fights,” said Aziz to Michael Stets for MMAmania.com. “I can guarantee you that fans are going to be very happy with it. I think it will be very intriguing for them.”
So UG, what will you be watching on November 15th?
