This Saturday, two UFC veterans will face off in the World Series of Fighting, as Jon Fitch squares off against the WSOF welterweight champion, Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares.
Palhares was released from the UFC following his welterweight debut, a 31-second victory over Mike Pierce. Palhares held on to the submission for too long, and as a result, he was cut. He has had just one fight since his release: a victory over Steve Carl to win the WSOF welterweight title.
Fitch has had three fights since his release back in 2013—first, a submission loss to Josh Burkman but then two straight decision victories over Marcelo Alfaya and Dennis Hallman.
These are two high-level grapplers, and it's sure to be a fun fight come Saturday. Let's check out who has the edge in this head-to-toe breakdown.
